I am a seasoned traveler in Turkey.
I have been to Istanbul at least 40 times.
I always stay in 3 star budget hotels in Istanbul.
The Adora Hotel was my least favorite so far.
One of the staff members is detached and totally uninterested in the hotel.
I found him to be useless.
The wall area outside a room on the 5th floor is very damaged.
The rooms had no telephones. The rooms do not have
a safe.
I was offered a very small portable safe and I refused it.
I found the breakfast to be less than average.
It was just o.k. and very boring for me.
The juice came from a machine, and it was not natural.
The hotel staff at times kept the door open to the outside and this made no sense to me.
Sometimes I could feel the cold drafty air throughout the hotel.
The staff keep supplies on the 2nd floor in the hallway
and this looks untidy.
I wish I could say that I enjoyed my stay at this hotel.
I did not.
The owner obviously is not interested in the property at all.
This is very sad.
This hotel needs better leadership and capital investment.
I wish my stay had been better.

The staff were good and the restaurant was quite nice however there was too much noise, you can hear doors closing and opening all day, you can also hear taps turning on and off. There is also no warm water, I had to request for a kettle to have access to warm water and was told they have no kettles. Breakfast was also included however there isnt much for offer as the breakfast included burnt tea and old bread.

A place to stay when you don’t stay (in your room)
This is the type of hotel that you use when you just need a place to keep your luggage. The rooms are small, breakfast is basic.
When the porter showed my wife and I our room, he discovered that the air conditioner was broken. Management did not bother to get it serviced nor change our room. Needless to say, this was poor customer service.
Nevertheless, this hotel is located next to Gülhane tram station, right off a main street (Hudavendigar Caddesi).

Adora - Great Place to Stay in Istanbul
We really enjoyed our stay at the Adora. The staff was very friendly and attentive to our needs and inquiries about anything we wanted to know. The hotel restaurant food was absolutely fantastic and we ate most meals outside on the patio. Rooms are compact with fairly large bathrooms that are clean and modern. The location is ideal-within a 10 minute walk to Topkapi Palace and the Archaeology Museum and neighborhood shops-the metro is also one street over for very easy access to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and Ciserns. I would highly recommend the Adora to anyone staying in Istanbul.

Basic hotel in great location
The hotel is situated in a great location close to the tram and areas of interest. Yusuf the front manager is friendly and helpful. My husband and I are both seasoned travellers so we pack light and use small suit cases, but the rooms are so small there was no where to put clothes or toiletries. I made a mistake of placing a small stack of clothes under the Airconditioning unit to find that they were wet from a leak. We could hear quite clearing the guests in the next room using their bathroom. We love Istanbul and the people of Turkey, and hopefully will return one day, but I think we would look for another hotel.

If you are not too choosy yoy will love Adora Hote
Enjoyed our stay in this boutique hotel ideally located in the center of the Sultanameth district. Close to street car stop taking you over Galata bridge to Taksim. Personnel very friendly and most helpul. Dinners where typical Turkish specialties and delicious. Would recommend to anyone not too choosy but enjoying a great stay and centralized location.
