Gayrettepe serviced apartments

Property is weary nice and clean but only a workers need more training

This property is wonderful, good location within the walking distance to the Palace, the pier and a lot of restaurants. The staff was a very friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet is a must have to try before you heading out for sightseeing.

Stayed at Movenpick for 5 nights whilst in Istanbul. Hotel was beautiful and clean and had a pleasant spa like smell as soon as you enter. Check in was easy and simple. Staff take a deposit of €100 which is refunded on check out if nothing is ordered/brought from hotel. We ordered a large bottle of water from the hotel as you get x2 small bottles for free every morning when room is made up. The large bottle we ordered cost us approx £5.70!! Definately buy your water bottles from convenience stores/ corner shops for around 50p-£1. We had a king bed which was lovely and comfortable. We had 2 pillows each one soft and one firm. The room had a AC/heater which worked perfectly and we could cool/warm the room up as and when we wanted. Bathroom was clean and nice. Towels, wet floor mat and slippers were given everyday when the room was cleaned and you can re-use your towels if you wanted as an eco-friendly option. We visited the spa/pool. You are required to wear swimming caps which we was not aware of so had to buy these when we arrived at the spa reception. The caps costed approx £8. The pool's temperature was noted to be 28 degrees but felt very very cold! I raised this with the spa reception staff who said the pool is kept between 27-28 degrees due to preventing bacteria to grow. The room was big and modern. We had a table, wardrobe, safe and sofa chair. Room was modern in design. The hotel is in a good location with a bus stop just 7-10 minute walk away.
