Excellent Breakfast Spread

“Breakfast was served on the rooftop terrace, offering beautiful views of the sea. The spread was excellent for a four-star hotel, with a variety of options including Turkish menemen, omelettes, pancakes, fresh breads, sigara böreği, pastries, cheeses, and different types of salami and turkey ham. There were fresh fruits, delicious chocolate cakes, biscuits, and Turkish lentil soup available too. A coffee machine, fruit juices, and tea were offered, along with cereals and Turkish desserts like tres leches.” view full review

Relaxing Turkish Bath Experience

“The spa area featured a lovely Turkish bath and sauna, a perfect way to unwind after a long day of sightseeing. Even though there was a 2-person limit at a time, it was spacious enough to fit at least four people, making it a cozy spot for relaxation. However, the spa opening after 2 PM was a slight drawback as I wished to utilize those facilities earlier in the day.” view full review

Ideal Family Suite

“Our family room was ideal with a connecting room for children and a clean bathroom equipped with all the necessary amenities. We found slippers and a hairdryer available too, making our stay comfortable. The daily provision of fresh sheets, towels, and sometimes water bottles enhanced the overall room experience.” view full review

I had a great time at Hotel Venera in Istanbul. The location was perfect, making it easy to explore nearby attractions like the Grand Bazaar. While the triple room was a bit cramped for our luggage, the staff quickly addressed the issue and moved us to a more spacious room. However, I was disappointed by the breakfast options, which lacked variety and flavor, but overall, my experience was enjoyable enough that I would choose to stay here again.
