Guest Reviews
- zoebL3043JH (10/5): Couldn't have asked for better! - Arrived for a short stay with my daughter and was absolutely blown away! It's always a spin of the wheel when you book a hotel in a major city you don't know...... but this was most certainly a winning spin. We were welcomed with true Turkish hospitality. Our room had been upgraded, (i have mobility issues and needed a walk-in shower) and we were given the presidential suite! Oh wow! What a view!! Clear unobstructed view of Ayasofya, the Bosphorus and peeking out from behind the rooftops the Blue Mosque from the balcony. The bathroom is a mini hamman, with plenty of towels and essentials. The minibar and tea/coffee facilities generously equipped. Beds are very comfortable with good quality linens. The whole suite was spotless and inviting. The location was exactly what we wanted. Quiet enough to be relaxing, everything we needed within a few minutes walk. Plenty of places to eat for all budgets, enough shopping to make after dinner strolls interesting and we felt safe. All the "big" sites are on the doorstep. The buffet breakfast gave ample choice and set us up well for the day, restaurant staff are all amazing. The front desk are all so helpful, knowledgeable, friendly and work hard to ensure you're stay is perfect. And ours most definitely was. I'm so glad this was the hotel we decided on!
- P279CHreginap (10/5): Our stay at the Sultanhan - My family and I recently enjoyed our first visit to Istanbul, and choosing the Sultanhan Hotel as our home away from home made the trip truly special. From the beautiful lobby and comfortable bedrooms to the stunning views and delicious food at the top-floor restaurant, every detail was impressive. While every employee we met was kind and welcoming, I would like to specifically commend a few individuals for their exceptional service. The gentlemen working at the front desk were incredibly helpful with suggestions, directions and reservations. In particular, on the morning of our departure, one young man stepped in when we experienced a language barrier with our driver. He handled the communication and reassured us that he would ensure we reached the airport on time, which we greatly appreciated. I would also like to recognize the kind woman who took excellent care of our room throughout our stay. Finally, I want to offer a special commendation for Tuğçe Atas. Her service in the restaurant was outstanding. She took the time to explain various dishes and ingredients to us, and she even anticipated our preferences by having an omelette ready and pre-cut so my sister and I could share. Her proactive care and attention to detail was remarkable.
- Companion60679083730 (10/5): Sultanhan Hotel - Absolutely Great Hotel! - We absolutely loved our stay at the Sultanhan Hotel in Istanbul! The location couldn’t be better—just a short stroll to the Blue Mosque and the Sultanahmet sites. The front desk staff were friendly and amazing, always greeting us warmly and making sure we ended each long tour day with a cup of tea or rich Turkish coffee. Our car was safely parked right beside the hotel for the entire stay, which gave us peace of mind. The breakfast buffet was a highlight, offering a generous spread of traditional Turkish dishes along with endless tea, lattes, and cappuccinos. Tugce in the restaurant went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. The restaurant’s panoramic views of the Bosphorus and surrounding mosques were absolutely spectacular. Sultanhan Hotel truly offered comfort, hospitality, and charm in the heart of old Istanbul. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again!
- patriciarR8997CN (10/5): Old World Charm - My friend and I stayed here 2 nights before joining our tour group at another hotel. I cannot say enough good things about the hotel and staff. It is located within walking distance of the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Grand Bazaar and Spice Bazaar. We had several meals in the rooftop restaurant. The view of the Bosphorous was stunning and the food was delicious. The staff in the restaurant and hotel went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. I should add that our room was clean and comfortable. We both recommend this hotel with its old world charm. You won't regret it. I'd like to add that one day when it was snowing and the streets were slick I couldn't get my walking stick open and locked. I took it down to the reception desk and asked for help. It took 3 of them a few minutes, but they brought it to my room ready to use and I used it the rest of my 7 day trip. They didn't have to do that but I was really grateful they did.
- Inspire337683 (10/5): Highly recommend this hotel. - Great hotel, it was very clean and very comfortable. The staff were extremely hospitable. They treated us like family. Breakfast in the morning was outstanding. Free coffee, tea and water was offered all day.
- Natalienewell (6/5): Good location but noisy room issue - Good location, but noisy room issue The hotel is in a good location, which made it easy to get around and explore the area. However, we had a big issue with our first room (Room 105). The air-conditioning unit was incredibly loud — so noisy that it was impossible to sleep. I first called reception, but nothing was resolved. At around 11:30 pm I went downstairs and was told it would be sorted in the morning. I explained that this wasn’t acceptable and that something needed to be done immediately, either switching it off or moving us to another room. Eventually, the man at reception did resolve the issue, although he didn’t seem very happy about it. After that, everything was fine for the rest of our stay. Breakfast was okay — nothing special, but adequate. Overall, aside from the initial room problem, the stay was fine and the location is definitely a positive.
- Tak1940013 (10/5): Excellent location at the center of old town - I stayed there for one night and there were two times. The location is really excellent for the sightseeing and restaurants. The hotel has a nice restaurant on the 6th floor and I had a breakfast there. There is a space in front of the hotel and the view from the room was good. It become one of my favorite hotels.
- F4544SFanneg (10/5): Loved This Hotel - My first trip to Istanbul and it was a solo trip. I knew nothing about this hotel, other than looking at some reviews and I cannot tell you how happy I am that I stayed here.. the food, the rooms, and especially the staff are absolutely amazing and made my stay a happy one. I would highly recommend this hotel. It is perfectly located near all the best attractions. The mosques are close by and have regular prayer that starts early in the morning, but you can barely hear it with your window closed.. the decor is so well done and each room has its own displays of Turkish artifacts and culture in glass in and next to the rooms in the hallway.. Such a nice touch.
- Cidermanslough2 (10/5): A Great Location and 5 star Service - A fantastic hotel in a great location (only 5 mins walk from the Blue Mosque and less than 10 mins from a tram stop). Large luxurious rooms with great views from the restaurant of the Blue Mosque and the Haghia Sophia. The staff were some of the most helpful you could imagine, from booking excursions and helping with directions to trains etc to resolving the ultimate holiday faux pas of leaving items in the safe at the end of the visit. The team were a credit to the hotel.
- CJA393939 (10/5): Perfect location for sight seeing - A very pleasant room in a great location. Everything is a bit dated, without being tatty, more in a majestic way. We were on the 3rd floor, so didn't get any view from the windows. Breakfast on the 6th floor gave ample opportunity to view the surroundings. I have to say I struggled with breakfast - the "hot" things were luke warm and quite strange, and the cold things seemed to consist of many, many ways to serve cheese. We were only there 3 days, and I ended up with hard boiled eggs and fresh bread (excellent) each morning. Another point to bear in mind, is how long it takes a taxi to get to the hotel through the narrow streets within the Sultanahamet area.
- lesliemB8465YN (10/5): Wonderful, relaxing stay! - Wonderful hotel right in the heart of old Istanbul. In walking distance to the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, and the cisterns( a must see).Beautiful rooms, wonderful, kind staff. Breakfast is included-a nice bonus! Very friendly, helpful in all ways-definitely would stay again- highly recommend!

- Bruce (10/5): - Great hotel, great staff, and right in the middle of historic Istanbul.
- Ramzi (8/5): - Good location with complimentary breakfast. A bit dated property that needs some TLC but the staff make up for it with their friendliness. Affordable
- William (10/5): - Excellent. Just what we wanted - excellent position and lovely staff
- Ovidiu (8/5): - Kind and very helpful people at reception. Hotel is clean but furniture bit old. Breakfast was very good , fresh bread daily. Location is very good, 5 mins walk from all attractions.
- Michael (8/5): - Amazing location. 10 min easy walk to Grand Bazzar.extremely friendly and helpful staff. Better views on higher floors. No canadian tv channels but small issue. Very nice property in the heart of Istanbul. Highly recommend.

- Keith (10/5): - The location was perfect; very easy to get to all major attractions in Old Town and great access to the tram system. The location could not have been better! The staff was very helpful and friendly / we felt we were taken care of very well. No issues whatsoever to complain about
- Lisa (8/5): - We really enjoyed staying here, and the breakfast was truly amazing. Everything was easy and efficient. My only caveat is that the rooms / views really do not live up to the photos, as the place is a bit dated - not really elegant as the pics seem. Also, the pricing on line is crazy - varies wildly from $115 a night to $800 a night, with terms like VIP and special class used randomly. But, all in all a great place to stay.
- Michael (10/5): - I arrived at night and then going to the hotel restaurant for breakfast when the doors of the elevator opened I was treated to a spectacular panoramic view of Istanbul. Wonderful place to go.
- sanjiv (10/5): - It is hidden gem in Fatih district. Excellent staff went above and beyond. All key attractions walkable. Excellent roof top restaurant where we had Breakfast. Lot of choice. Rooms are relatively small. Surely recommend.
- Olga (10/5): - The hotel is conveniently situated, walking distance to Hagia Sofia and blue mosque. Staff is very helpful and accommodating. Great value for the money.
- MARUF (10/5): - Excellent location
- John (10/5): - Very pleasant hotel, well located for all the sights and close to tram. Staff are all very friendly and helpful. Breakfast room has excellent panoramic views over Istanbul.

- Christine (10/5): - Lovely authentic Turkish hotel in a very convenient situation A short walk to Blue mosque, Hagia Sophia and also Grand Bizaar Front desk was helpful and very pleasant Would recommend this hotel to everyone
- Keith Walter (10/5): - This is a beautiful hotel right in the centre of Istanbul, all the main tourist areas are no more than a 30min walk. The staff at the hotel were lovely and the breakfast at the hotel was superb. Reception staff were also very helpful and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. One comment I would make is the reception area is lovely but is totally underutilised, there was a bar in the corner but it was never open. Therefore that area was a little soul less.
- Robert (10/5): - The airport shuttle was booked directly by us. The front desk was great. He booked several fun activities for us. The breakfast was wonderful and the view was fantastic
- Anthony (10/5): - Staff was wonderful - Had a regular room with double bed - Way to small for an American couple I went down next morning and asked for two twins and they gave us a room with a king and a twin. I should have booked that in the first place. Location is perfect - 5-6 mins to everything major We were only there for 3 nights Perfect for us Breakfast was plenty and has beautiful view of water
- Tamer (8/5): - Lovely historic hotel within walking distance to top attractions. The roof top dining area where breakfast was served had amazing panoramic views of Istanbul.
- Vladimir (10/5): - Beautiful hotel at a great location. Very helpful staff.

Room average not much view , having said that when u are on holiday u just use ur room to sleep thats it , the views from breakfast restaurant are stunning, the staff are super friendly ,visited their spa my 1st ever turkish bath experience and would recommend it any day, Anna the masseuse was amazing ,was bit sceptical getting the bath and sauna treatment after going thru a bypass 6 months ago , but Anna made the experience amazing she ensured and checked on me if I was ok time to time and not applying too much pressure.... will return to Istanbul and without a shadow of doubt this is where I will be staying again.. Thank you for ur amazing hospitality..
- Adelaida (10/5): - Staff service
- Ashraf (10/5): Convenient location in the Sultanhamet - It classifies itself as a "special category" but we felt that it fell to just above a 3 star. It is conveniently placed for all the usual sights and the rooftop restaurant had a spectacular views over the Blue Mosque and the Hagia Sophia. The staff were extremely helpful - ranging from the reception staff to the cleaning ladies. The brekfast sets you up for the day.
- Ridvan (10/5): Excellent - Lovely clean hotel with friendly staff in a great convenient location.

- Syed (10/5): - They serve best breakfast that if we get outside it’s gonna be 1500 TL, good staff and well informed, ver good location walk distance of Nlue Mosque and Aya Sphia
- Kirsten (10/5): - Great central hotel and lovely views. Staff were all very helpful and friendly.
- Shahida Cell (8/5): - Nice property waking distance to blue mosque and grand bazar and hagie Sofia and excellent breakfast
- Barbara (8/5): - Nice, attentive staff. We had a great experience at this hotel. The property is a little older, but good location.
- Sana (10/5): - Best property to stay in the area
- Christophe (4/5): - The building is run-down, and the pictures are not representative of the actual property. Our room, despite being one of the suites, was near the elevator, which makes a jet engine noise day and night. The balcony had broken furniture, dying plants, and was covered in bird droppings. To access the "spa" area, you have to cross a dark laundry area, which is rather disconcerting. Considering the price of the room, this was a tremendous disappointment. The only positive point was the very friendly and helpful staff.
- Luis Fernando (10/5): - Great experience all around
- Aurel (10/5): - excelent service, staff super nice and helpful, room very clean and excelent location, walking to everywhere old town
- Innokentiy (10/5): - It was great!
- Arun (6/5): - It looks and feels a lot duller than the photos. Location is excellent, right next to the train line. The room was very comfortable. The hotel interiors were duller than the impression left by the photos. Breakfast on the terrace was excellent as were the views. Staff was very friendly and eager
- Samuel (10/5): - Highly recommended. The hotel is in a tree lined street and feels very safe even at night. They gave us a free room upgrade facing the street. The staff are very friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Free breakfast at the rooftop restaurant gives a clear view of the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia, and Bosphorus Strait!!' Excellent location with major sights and tram stations within 5-10min walk. Alot of dining options nearby. Ross Kebab House next door has delicious local food and gives free baklava and tea. Sur Doner Shawarma along the main road has delicious beef doner for $7.
- Thomas (10/5): - Great area. Close to all the sights you want to see on your first trip to Istanbul but still down a street which was quiet.
- Hector (8/5): - The room was a tipical Turkish hotel, good experience. Staff was attentive and helpful. Close to the main attractions in Istanbul. Breakfast was plentiful and tasty.
- MOHAMAED (10/5): - Excellent customer service and very friendly staff
- Walaa (10/5): - Good hotel and quite
- Sami (10/5): - Our family of seven stayed at Sultanhan Hotel and had an amazing experience. The location is unbeatable, just a short walk to Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and Topkapi Palace, yet the hotel feels quiet and relaxing. The rooms were clean, spacious, and very comfortable, and the rooftop terrace with its city views made breakfast each morning unforgettable. The staff went above and beyond to help with taxis, recommendations, and making sure our older parents were comfortable. If you are visiting Istanbul, this hotel is the perfect mix of convenience, comfort, and warm hospitality. We would definitely stay here again.
- 308simab (10/5): Fantastic Hotel! - We stayed at the Sultanhan Hotel for 6 days to celebrate my sister’s 40th birthday, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. The hotel itself is beautiful — the decor is elegant and full of character, giving it a real sense of charm and comfort. Check-in was quick and easy, and the reception staff were fantastic — attentive and welcoming at all hours, both day and night. The food was very good, and the overall hospitality throughout our stay made us feel right at home. The location is ideal: just a 6-minute walk to the Blue Mosque, but still far enough from the crowds to feel calm and relaxing. A wonderful hotel in every way. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it for anyone visiting Istanbul!

- Deyanira (10/5): Love this place - Let me just start by saying this hotel was one of the best choices I’ve ever made. I stayed in Istanbul, Turkey for three days after my cruise, and it was truly the best decision. From the moment I arrived at the hotel, everyone was so kind and helpful. Not only that, but they also offered me several activity options to do in Turkey. I chose two of them: the Turkish bath and the dinner cruise I absolutely loved both! I truly felt at home. Anytime I needed something or had a question, they were there to help. Whether it was clarifying directions or recommending places to visit, they were always ready with helpful advice. Let me not forget — the hotel is located right in the center of Istanbul’s best attractions. The location is amazing. Breakfast was included, and let me tell you, it was wonderful. Everyone in the breakfast area was so kind and helpful. I especially want to mention a lovely lady (I’ll be posting her picture) who made sure I had everything I needed, including delicious Turkish tea. The room was very clean and well-organized. If you're planning to visit Istanbul, I highly recommend this hotel. It’s great, and you’ll truly feel at home. And trust me I travel every year to different places, but I’ve rarely felt as welcomed as I did here.
- Julian (10/5): - Highly Recommended! This hotel was in the perfect location, everything was within walking distance. It offered great value for the money, and the staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. The service was exceptional: we arrived around midnight and they were fully prepared for us, greeting us with chocolates and refreshing lemonade. The breakfast buffet was both generous and delicious, and the view from the hotel was absolutely stunning. Everything was clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully arranged. I would 100% recommend this hotel to anyone looking for comfort, great service, and a memorable stay.
- Nabela (8/5): - Y
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The hotel is excellent! The staff so helful! The manager even made sure we had our boxed breakfast because our flight was very early! Unfortunately the hamam experience was a bust! There were 4 of us scheduled and there was only one person to do all of us. We wasted 3 hours each waiting . So sad! The masseuse was good, but it was a bad experience. We could just have walked a few feet to do our hamam somewhere else. We could have seen more of Istanbul at night! Oh well…But I will highly recommend this hotel and will stay there again when I have the chance to come back❤️
- Muarrif (8/5): - After seven years stayed here again and the hotel is conveniently located at walkable distance from the Blue mosque and close to the tram station. The staff were extra helpful and rooftop terrace restaurant has views of Blue Mosque and Haifa Sofia
- Eva (10/5): - The front desk crew is very helpful and help me with my luggage. They consistently offered me tea and water and incredibly friendly staff. Highly recommend staying here.
- O (2/5): - The hotel was advertises itself on Expedia as having a being unqiqe for having a swimming pool, private outdoor hot tub, chikdren's play area, and spacious 431 sq. ft rooms with city views. None of these existed. The first room was mouldy with a broken toilet door; the second which was one of their largest rooms quad rooms was about 231 sq. ft — so small there wasn’t even space to lay two prayer mats and no where near the 431 sq feet advertised! Photos and room size were significantly exaggerated. During our stay, staff sprayed chemicals and later scraped mould/painted the bathroom without removing our towels or toothbrushes, leaving everything contaminated. The hotel itself could be nice, but the experience was overshadowed by poor hygiene, unprofessional cleaning, and misleading advertising. The hotel has since removed some of the false claims, but they still exaggerate room size and advertise all rooms as with a “city view” for all rooms when only half actually face the city/street — the rest face a back alley. Overall, a very disappointing and unethical experience.
- Nurudin Rudy (10/5): - Service is first class
- Mark (10/5): Great Experience at SULTANHAN Hotel - Our stay was absolutely amazing. The hotel itself is beautiful, but the staff is what makes this place special. Every staff member is so nice and very helpful. We just loved our dinners at the rooftop restaurant-Ali, the restaurant manager was phenomenal! He was friendly, funny and loved sharing info about this wonderful city. We looked forward to seeing him each night of our stay.
- Alfredo (10/5): - Old school
- LaTosha (8/5): Great Location! - We enjoyed our stay at Sultanhan as a family. There was some confusion regarding their listing stating children stay free, which I see they have now removed from the listing. This caused me to incur additional charges upon checking in with my 10-year-old. So, I'm glad they've clarified this in their listing for future travelers. But it was a rough start to our stay to be hit with additional charges. Otherwise though, the hotel was lovely. The double triple room was spacious and comfortable. Cold A/C ,free wifi, and very clean . Perfect location for seeing the sights, by foot. Plenty of dining and shopping options nearby. The breakfast buffet was satisfying, though a bit underwhelming. Views from the dining room were beautiful though. Staff was all very friendly and kind. We had a city view room though our view was completely obstructed by a tree. The price you pay for a good rate on a room I suppose. Overall, we enjoyed the stay and would consider them again.
- david (10/5): - Very friendly and helpful concierge. I highly recommend this hotel
- Sandra (10/5): Amazing stay - The staff at this hotel was absolutely fabulous! The front desk went out of their way to help you with whatever you needed. The rooms were very clean and pristine. Keep up the great job. Not to mention breakfast was amazing with gorgeous views.

- adambI3749GT (10/5): Great hotel. Very comfortable. Central convenient location. Friendly and helpful staff. Delicious breakfast. - Superb hotel. Very kind and helpful staff. We were upgraded to a luxurious suite with a huge bathroom and a lovely balcony with a spectacular view. We all slept very well. The buffet breakfast was varied and delicious, served on the top floor against the backdrop of the beautiful Istanbul vista. The hotel is conveniently located for all the major sites in Sultanahmet. We would definitely stay again. Highly recommended.
- 585susannab (10/5): Superb hotel. Brilliant location. Would definitely recommend. - What a wonderful hotel. We were upgraded to a very comfortable & luxurious suite. It was equipped with an amazing bathroom and a balcony with a stunning view over the Bosporus. We had a great night‘s sleep and left feeling fully refreshed. The staff were charming and helpful. The location is brilliant, with all of the major sites in close proximity. Breakfast was very good and the views from the rooftop were spectacular. Very much recommended.
- shekoor (10/5): - The hotel is on walking distance from blue mosque, hagia sophia bazar and all the transport links. The staff is helpfull and respecful. Breakfast options are great but dinner is way too expensive. I would highly recommend sultanhan hotel
- Hamed (10/5): - Breakfast was great with fantastic views. Staff was amazing all around. Rooms were clean and hotel is close to everything we wanted to do and see. No complaints at all.
- Afifah (10/5): - Very good service. Any issues were dealt with quickly and speedily. Hotel staff were very helpful and kind. Overall really enjoyed our stay .Especially
- Aqeela (8/5): - The breakfast was very good, really enjoyed it. The bed was super comfy and I enjoyed my stay there. Would definitely recommend.
- AZZAM (10/5): - This was my first time in Turkey and we stayed about 9 days. I was very pleasantly surprised to find this hotel so close to everything. We walked almost everywhere: Hagia Sophia, Blue Dome Mosque, Basilica (which were 20 feet from the hotel), Grand Bazaar, and close by to restaurants that you did not have to use or pay for any transportation. (Avoid taxis at ALL costs, if you can). It is better to find one of the all day rental companies with the black vans and pay a set fee before you use the taxi. Also, the tram was cheap and quick. The staff were very nice at the hotel and the breakfast was very good. If you eat their breakfast, honestly, you won't need a lunch. They had such a good assortment of choices: soup, eggs, Turkish sausage, olives, yogurts, breads, fruit, veggies, and the CHEESES!!!! This hotel will pay for itself. The staff were helpful and all spoke English on some level. The hotel is not modern, but Istanbul is an old city. It was charming to stay at and the windows facing the street would open to let us get a cool breeze which I appreciated very much. The other room we got had a Juliette balcony which was an A+! The hotel provided us with a very user friendly map at check-in and it saved us so much time and helped us choose the places to visit. I read the posts from some of the other experiences after I made the reservation, but before we stayed here. I really can genuinely recommend this hotel for you and your family. Safe Travels.
- Samia (10/5): What a view - A beautiful hotel with beautiful rooms and service - the best part was the breakfast included with a stunning rooftop view of the blue mosque and all the major sites and the sea!
- Marianela (10/5): - Excellent services and accommodations. Will return there, no doubt.
