Guest Reviews

• Steven (4/5): - Breakfast was good. Bathroom terrible.
• rasel3287 (8/5): Best location, basic bed and breakfast, sincere staffs - Hotel is in a old building. Although we had booking in the upper floor with window room, we took rooms at 1st floor to avoid climbing stairs. (Upper floor rooms was better and has more space.) The room we took room was small, furnitures were old, no balcony or even window. Exhaust fan circulated air. beds and pillows were ok. toilet was small with basic features. Breakfast was in roof (4th floor) and the view of blue mosque and Firuz Aga is fine while having breakfast. 3/5 minute walking distance to Aya Sophia, Cistern, Topkapi Palace and Blue Mosque. There is a tram stop just in front of the hotel so convenient to move around taskim square and Istiklal street and other places as well. price is high. Maybe due to its location.Best thing I found here is the hospitality of the hotel staffs specially the lady in the reception counter. She was always smiling and helpful. She assisted us in travelling in the tram and also with our luggage. The room and toilet was not at all up to our expectation or standard after coming from a resort of IHG chain (where we stayed at same price). We really felt relieved and comfortable only with the sincere and warm attitude of the lady of the hotel. I thank her for all her affords.
• H2404LOdavidh (2/5): AVOID IF SOLO LGBTIQ+ TRAVELLER - Pros;- Location is great cons:- everything else ! Avoid this hotel - not worth the money. Stayed 4 nights as a single gay traveller in the single room. The room was way too small. Could hardly fit my suitcase in the room. They have a room that can only be described as a cupboard which has your toilet shower wash basin all in on with no divider between the shower and the toilet so it is unhygenic. If you are a larger person, you will not fit in this cupboard room which is problematic if you want to have a proper shower go to the toilet properly. The property does not have lifts so you have to carry your suitcase up stairs. The breakfast was very very average was not worth the climb up the stairs. And finally, the staff are rude particular the woman. The hotel does not allow guests to bring any visitors to their room. They will chase visitors up the stairs to enforce this policy and then try and give you a lecture about this. Very homophobic. On check out, did not even use words just grabbed the key and grunted. Really impacted my stay in Istanbul. There are so many nicer properties to choose from. You should avoid here.
• F2762TVannam (2/5): Extremely poor service - Extremely poor service. I've booked this place through Hotels.com and when I called to confirm my reservation they've hung up on me 5 times. The last time the person answering phone claimed they do not speak English, only Turkish.
• Katharine (10/5): - It is centrally located which is great, two blocks from blue mosque, Hagia Sofia and basilica cisterns. Lots of restaurants. Simple no frills but good place to stay. Staff were great. Right next to tram line which is convenient but sometimes noisy. Highly recommend and reasonable prices.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - The breakfast service was excellent with an excellent view on the rooftop. The hotel manager was friendly and very helpful. The cook and cleaning ladies were so nice and wonderful.
• Q3323UYcatherinej (8/5): birds eye view of Istanbul - The location was fantastic with travel links on the doorstep, the information was very informative and the receptionist :Sheila : was fantastic nothing too much trouble. Breakfast was very good ,looking out onto the rooftops of Istanbul ,breathtaking. the hotel was very basic ,with no shelves ,it could be improved with shelving,and more storage . The room was clean and tidy, but could be improved with better air conditioning. The ladies who looked after the kitchen and the cleaning worked very hard , its a big old fashioned hotel with a sprawling staircase and no lift, not for disabled persons. after the initial shock it was a very good stay. Iwould stay here again now i know what to expect .
• drsudhirb (10/5): Transit trip via Istanbul! - Nice multistoried reasonably clean place at a very affordable price. The view from the rooftop restaurant is to die for… just the perfect view of Istanbul landmarks…. Sitting and sipping coffee is an experience to add to one’s travel memories! Perfect place for a low budget holiday in Istanbul!
• Elisa (10/5): - I stayed in best location. Very central. Breakfast is delicious .. staff helpful. My room was very clean ans AC worked veey well. Highly recommended. I will come again. Thank you for your hospitality.
• Marco (8/5): - Very close to all areas that I visited.
• JOHN (4/5): - Described as a budget hotel but really basic On- suite very small Water leak on second day caused wet carpet and led to a change of room which was better but only had a window looking out onto a fire escape Staff did their best in difficult circumstances
• Hal (6/5): - The location is terrific, less than 5 minute walk to the Hippodrome. The staff were all vey helpful especially the day manager who gave us plenty of helpful info. However, the tram goes right by the hotel so it was a little nosier than expected. And the beds were hard and the linens were not great.
• R2308EZphilipd (6/5): Not a good first impression - The first impression of my room was not good. It was tiny and only really had room for one despite being sold as a double room. Dismayed find broken furniture and very limited storage and certainly not enough for two. However I managed to make it work. The hotel has no real public areas and there is a small area on the roof where breakfast is served. This is a typical Turkish buffet with a daily egg dish which is prepared to order. Rooms are serviced daily including fresh towels. The bathroom is a bit of a tight cubbyhole that includes the sink and toilet but not separate shower. There is good air conditioning which is just as well as the maid tends to leave the window open but you have to close it to shut out the noise from the tramway outside. Sleep quality is good. The hotel in general could do with a general cosmetic update. Furniture looks tired and some areas could do with a fresh lick of paint. Some fittings are a little on the loose side. There is no lift and no space to install one so you have to lug luggage up a fairly steep staircase to reach upper floors. Location wise it is next to Sultanhemet Square with many key sites on its doorstep. The restaurants surrounding it are best avoided as their menu prices match that in Western Europe with mediocre food which is not authentic. Follow the tramline to Constantine's column and the watch the prices drop to the local average.
• Peter (6/5): - I stayed here one week, place needs a facelift badly, room small, toilet is also a shower room,very small, outside is noisiest street in the city with trams passing room every 5 minutes ringing bells and horns , very noisy and window did not close properly. Nice friendly lady on desk, had breakfast once, ate out every other day after that
• LEMAN (6/5): - The location was excellent as it is near to most touristic features. The people were friendly.The building is old, rooms are small and basic but clean.
• Elisa (10/5): - This hotel is one of the cleanest hotel which I stayed. bed linen, pillows sheets very clean and white. Beds was comfortable. l slept very well. Central location, blue mosque, hagia sophia on the walking distance. Grand Bazaar 3 minutes, hotel is next to tram station. Easy to accessable. Hotel staff very helpfull, they helped me for directions. breakfast was delicious and lots of options open buffet. my room and roof top view breathtaking. wi-fi was fast. it didn't cut. l worked for a while on the terrace with my coffee. As a single traveler, l felt safe in this hotel. l love it. l definately will come again. highly recommend it
• T7993TOnickc (10/5): Brilliant hotel! - Excellent location, short safe walking to bazaar, Blue Mosque etc. Hotel is quirkily ornate with a very 'palace' feel. Opulent theme continues in the rooms. Great choice at breakfast with chef happy to cook to order. Lovely views from breakfast area/bar/restaurant and room. Staff very friendly and helpful. Room clean and comfortable.
• Richard (10/5): - awesome experience we loved everything!
• Richard (10/5): - Wonderful people Lovely view Good shower
• cigdem (10/5): - It was my best short trip ever. Check in-check out easy. Perfect location, clean room, good WiFi, friendly staff,delicious open buffet breakfast, amazing view from my room and terrace.
• miguel (4/5): - They didn’t have my reservation ready and the confirmation of the room that I got was terrible
• Avi (8/5): - Great location. Nice and competent team. Small room and very small bathroom.
• narelle (10/5): - The staff are welcoming, friendly and Chedym is very helpful with local information. The breakfast is fresh, tasty and filling, with options for different tastes. The rooms, although in an older hotel are clean, comfortable with functional air con, wifi and hot shower. Position in town is perfect!
• LoopyOrangeLady (8/5): Amazing view from room 201! - Stayed in a corner room with blue mosque view, 2 nights for £300 via booking dot com. There is a pleasant courtyard at the entrance, and the interior of the hotel is ornate. The restaurant is out the back, with views of the neighborhood roofs and the sea. Breakfast buffet is good, if you ask you can have an omelette made to order. A selection of pastries and breads, hot options, juices, tea and coffee. Salad, cheese, cold meats. Cereals, yoghurt, walnuts, fruits (dried and fresh) and a honeycomb! The room is large and clean, with extra seating and also a hamam in the bathroom/ wetroom. We weren't sure how to use this extra basin, and it made it awkward to shower as it was below the shower head. Also the toilet is in this area which means the floor is wet and the seat is wet. There is a plentiful supply of soap, shampoo and shower gel. Unfortunately when the neighbouring room used their toilet it sounded like ours was flushing! Also, there was a kettle with tea snd coffee but the cups were paper! These were the only down points. There is a mini fridge, water was free and sodas/ alcohol is extra charge (€2 for soft drinks, €7 for small wine, €6 for large lager). The view is superb! Exactly what we'd hoped for. Perfect location for the Blue mosque, Haggia Sofia and Topkapi Palace. Be aware the local restaurants are higher prices than other districts in the city, you may wish to get the tram and explore other options.
• Elena (6/5): - location
• 985aju (10/5): Highly recommended, beautiful location - I honestly would highly recommend you guys try this place, we just left Turkey and thanx to the lady Cigdem who works at this hotel, we had such an amazing time, she is traditional turkish lady and knows all the best places is to eat and sites for very affordable prices which helped us alot along the way..the hotel was nothing less then spectacular with an amazing location in the middle of sultanahmet so you are able to shop and drop your bags at the hotel and carry on with your day..anyways have a beautiful time you lovely tourists..enjoy Turkey 🇹🇷
• SimonS910 (4/5): Quality of Hotel - If you plan to stay here, DON´T, Stay away! Not a 4 star hotel as they claim. Horrible rooms, Safe provided can be taken away as it is not fixed. The bath room is so tight, your movement inside the room can sprain various parts of your body. Hotel do not provide some items they promise such as alarm clock, bath tub etc. Breakfast is Horrible, waiters and owner of the café can not make a simple omlette, juices are colored water with chemicals. Partitions ate not sound proof. You will get woken up at odd hours. The fact that they take money upfront , sum up their fears.
• Arikz1 (10/5): Great experience and great memories! - Excellent hotel. The staff is very nice, the location of the hotel is excellent, the hotel is very clean and the We will come back to this hotel the next time we are in Istanbul. rooms are comfortable. It was worth the money! Eric and Anat
• Anee786 (10/5): Ajwa Sultanahmet Istanbul hotel - Beautiful serene hotel We had the one bedroom with extra bed and baby cot We were so comfortable The staff are amazing at breakfast - they even packed us fruit for our day out Aytac was super helpful at arranging our transport and needs Walking distance to main attractions just up the hill but beautifully situated for people who can walk We had a Thule stroller and managed to navigate the streets from our hotel Would recommend and stay at the hotel again
• Abdul (6/5): - The staff was wonderful, but there was no lift. Luckily we only had to carry are luggage up to the 1st floor. The room was not as clean as I would like, I wiped down all the dust with my clorox wipes. There was a small amount of mildew on the bathroom walls. The sink, shower and toilet shared the same floor so if you took a shower floor was completely wet on entering the bathroom. Breakfast was ok, but the view was spectacular. The hotel is on the tram line so use Airport Transfer to get to Hotel, taxi drivers will leave you the closest they feel and you have to walk to hotel.
• JOHN (10/5): - The hotel is in a great location near to the Blue Mosque, Sofia Mosque, Cistern and palace. The only thing to be aware is that the Hotel doesn't accept credit card and their exchange rate is not convenient, so bring euros to pay the stay. Other than that the hotel is good. The view from the terrace is awesome. Breakfast is good.
• 312jackieu (8/5): A suitable hotel in a great location for a large family group. - Twelve of us booked two small 'villas' for 3 nights. We arrived about 11:30pm. It was a little confusing because a young man, who spoke very little English, welcomed us and wanted to serve us food. We were exhausted and only wanted our beds. The hotel has a cafe open all hours. Soon the mgr. came and we got settled. The villas are former private homes that have been converted to rentals. Each villa had a kitchen area, including dishes. We didn't use the kitchens. The fridge had bottled water and a melon for us. The location was very walkable, using GPS on our phone. We were 15 minutes from the Hippodrome, so near most of the things we wanted to visit. The beds were comfie and hot water plentiful, once we figured out that we needed to turn it on in the kitchen! We had to be careful not to overflow our shower pan as it wasn't very deep. The cafe women served us breakfast in our larger villa - it had a table for 6 plus a small LR area. It wasn't included in the price of the room, but was inexpensive, about $5 each, and wonderful! We paid in cash and never could get a receipt. Overall this hotel accomodated us in a basic, not fancy way, and met our needs. It wasn't cheap but the price was ok and the people nice and eager to please.
• E. Michael (8/5): - The friendliness of the staff and the excellent location.
• Mehmood (4/5): - We booked two room - a double and a single. The major disappointment was that neither of them had a proper shower. What is sold in the name of a shower is a shower head installed in the toilet. The space was too small in case of the double room. The hotel has a very convenient location being within walking distance from attractions but this is slightly marred by its location on a busy tramway and therefore taxis cann
• Mehmood Hussein (4/5): My experience of Sultanahmet Hotel - The main advantage of the hotel is its central location although it is slightly overshadowed by the fact that it is on a busy tramway hence not accessible to taxis at the doorstep. This is however made up by the very courteous hotel staff who accompany you across the road to the taxi. Secondly, the hotel staff are very courteous and perform their duties efficiently and with a smile. Beyond this, I am afraid that there is very little to talk positively about. We had a double and a single room. The rooms are sold as non-smoking but clearly my room had been smoked in before I moved in. The rooms are small with a lot of dirt under the beds. There are no showers although the advert says otherwise. It is only a shower head installed over the toilet which in itself is quite small. This certainly does not a shower make. The breakfast was of good quality, freshly made and served with a smile but the much talked about view from the terrace is spoiled by the extension towards the front on the adjacent building. It is however possible to see part of the Blue Mosque. The major drawback during breakfast was guests smoking. Overall, my experience was disappointing, but some people will clearly see an advantage in the location of the hotel. I would like to say thanks to the hotel staff for their courtesy during our stay.
• Noor-ul-ann (10/5): - Book with them, you wont regret it at all. The service both brothers provided was impeccable. They taught me so much about Turkish history and made sure I was welcomed and safe throughout my trip. They are both also very handsome and Egemen made sure I booked the best tours. My flight had a 2 hour delay but Egemen asked the driver to wait for me for over two hours, they were very kind. The terrace is absolutely beautiful, and the breakfast is really good as well. The hotel was clean and very safe. Egemen and his brother were honestly the best. They will take care of you.
• Ihab (6/5): - Tiene lo basico y me ha tocado una habitacion con el baño afuera en el corridos
• Scottishgal5 (8/5): Great location - I was very happy about my stay in this hotel, particularly due to the fantastic location which is steps away from the tram stop and only a few minutes walk to Hagia Sophia and the Blue mosque. It is also walking distance (or you could take the tram) to Eminonou where you could shop. The room was clean and I felt good value for money. Was also handy that they had an iron that you could borrow. I never managed breakfast at the hotel as was always up and out too early to try and beat some of the crowds but the area where it is served has nice views of the blue mosque. I booked this stay through booking.com and had been corresponding with someone from the hotel via the site, will say though that the gentleman at the front desk seemed to know nothing of what I had previously arranged via correspondence with the person from the hotel on the booking website.
• didemk829 (10/5): thanks to everything - this hotel is in the center of the historical places. room is clean, they cleaned everyday. pillows and bed comfortable. I had very good sleep everyday. A. C working superb. wi-fi fast, connecting otomaticly. breakfast is on the terrace with breathtaking view. fresh pastry, bureks yummy. you can see blue mosque and bosphorus from terrace. staff helped me for all directions. everywhere is close to hotel and all on the walking distance. hagia sophia, blue mosque 2 mins. grand bazaar 5 mins.
• justin (10/5): - very fast internet. clean room and well working air conditioner. Very good location. Amazing sea and Blue Mosque view on the terrace and coffee pleasure.😄👍
• Alexandra (10/5): - 5 score hotel! Underrated on bookings! There should be 4 or 5 score for this hotel. I have travelled the world but sultanahmet hotel will have a special place in my heart. Located litetally at the heart of old city sultanahmet, is walking distance from all tourists spots in the area. Rooms were clean, cosy and comfortable. Breakfast is also nice. As a female solo traveller i felt extremely safe and very comfortable. Highly recommend this for solo travellers! Nese and the rest of the staff are extremely friendly, helpful and professional. In short i felt at home in a place where i knew no one. I loved everything about it and i will surely be coming to stay here again!
• Farheen (8/5): - Right in front of Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia
• Almira (10/5): - Location is fantastic, rooms are very small but very clean. It was my second to me in Istanbul and both times I chose this hotel
• Verified traveler (10/5): Most easiest and friendly place to be at… - This hotel is Closer to all of the most beautiful Masjids and tourist places.
• Adriana (10/5): - Excellent location, fantastic view, well appointed room, helpful and responsive staff! They went out of their way to help me print important documents. Thank you!
• Melanie (8/5): Excellent location - location was literally across the road from the major mosques and a short walk to the bazaars . room was clean and bed was comfortable, shower water was hot and the staff were friendly. a very basic room but the location was superb if wanting to be in the old city. image is from outside our window , blue mosque just behind this one .
• Hadi (2/5): Horrible experience - This is not a hotel. Super small room. Toilet and shower mixed area.
• Nomad32640753459 (10/5): Very kind host - Pcr테스트 프린트가 필요한데 여기묵지도않은 사람에게 무료로 프린트를 해줘서 너무 고마웠다. 그리고 공항에서 술탄갈때처럼 똑같이 350리라로 술탄에서 공항까지 택시를 불러줘서 바가지없이 편하게 공항까지 갔다. 그는 돈을 요구하지 않았지만 본인일인것처럼 끝까지 최선을 다해주었기에 나는 돈을 그에게 건넸다. 너무 감사했다. So thank you host at the hotel! I did need pcr test printed paper and aksed him to do. I didn't stay at this hotel but he tried to do his best for free. Also, he called a taxi to take me to airport as same price(airport>sultan)... he didn't want to get money but I was touched and gave some money for him.
• mostafa (2/5): Very very small room and towels not clean - The location is perfect but the room is terrible, the breakfast is not good, the room did not accommodate our bags, i asked to change it to a bigger room as was shown in the reservation but that didn't happen. We were two and the reservation should be comfort standard double bed room. The new towels had brown strains!! I do not recommend this hotel even if the location looks perfect on the map. They are showing false picture of the property on the internet. I will attach picture for the room, the toilet and the dirty new towel.
• Ivan (10/5): - Amazing location! Can’t beat the price.
• Andrew (8/5): Lovely and central - Lovely little hotel. Very clean and tidy. Staff helpful and friendly. Bathroom a little small with no cubicle for the shower but perfectly uesable.Right next to the Sultanhammet Park and Blue Mosque, which you can see from front rooms and the roof terrace. Right next to tram station. Easy for travelling around. Only down side was, lots of steps between the reception and roof terrace. Could do with a lift.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - When I open the Window the Mosquito came to my Bed and hear the sound while I was sleeping. The Bath room and the WC are too small together. But about the Location is Fantastic near in all places where to go. Service is also good. The lady in the information desk was very helpful. She arranged all what i need.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Location excellent. Rooms are small and run down. Bathroom and toalett together with no separation for shower. Rooms facing the street are noisy till midnight. Inner rooms are ok but without window. Staff very nice and helpful. Public transport is just right in front of the hotel which is walking distance from Istanbul main attraction.
• MIGUEL (8/5): - It’s a three star and it’s appropriate rating. Location is excellent as it’s steps away from all facilities. Note however that any vehicle-taxi, car, etc. can’t stop on the front as there are tram lines. Most outstanding is every single staff always provided very good service at all hours. Biggest bonus is the Breakfast Terrace offering fabulous views of the Blue Mosque.
• KevinS (8/5): - Great location, right by tram stop. Good rooftop restaurant and view. Very helpful staff. Narrow winding stairway and room is small.
• Ronnie (2/5): Look around at other deals before booking - Hotel was very disappointing, seemed more like a B & B. Very small entrance and very out dated. We had booked a double room with a queen sized bed and views of the city which was confirmed by e mail by the hotel. What we got was a small room with 3 single beds squashed in it, a view of a cluttered back yard and brick walls. The wardrobe was impossible to get into as a very tatty and dirty couch had been wedged against the wardrobe and a wall. The bathroom could fit one person in and was shabby & dirty. Our friends room didn’t even have a window so no view at all !!! The picture on the web site is very misleading it shows two ladies sat on the roof top terrace over looking the blue mosque. In fact it wasn’t in use when we went up there in the evening to have a drink and admire the view. All the tables were stacked away and not a chance of getting a drink as no one was around. The only good thing about this hotel is that the location was fantastic, easy walking distance to most of the attractions.
• traveler2019 (8/5): - great location. property is quite old and the room has no window!!!!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The. Location The. Staff. The. Breakfast. Was. No. So. Good
• Verified traveler (6/5): Good hotel - Good buffet breakfasts. Close to all major attractions and walking distance to the Grand Bazaar.
• Patricia (10/5): - Location was a paramount for selecting this hotel Everything is a walking distance to the main attractions and local restaurants. The breakfast is awsome and the staff very friendly and helpfl.
• ABDUL AZIZ (10/5): Great location - Everything is good
• Dahnyor (6/5): good location and central - staff tried their best to accommodate although language was a barrier
• Mark (8/5): Quiet, clean, convenient, cheap, with a View! - I had a 23-hour layover in Istanbul and wanted a convenient spot to see as much as I could in such a short period of time. Could have found nicer & more expensive if I wanted to stay farther out. Great choice for a solo traveler with low expectations. Quiet, clean, convenient, cheap. Sitting on the rooftop, enjoying a beer (that I bought elsewhere) contemplating the blue mosque was fantastic.
• simran (10/5): Can't get a better location in Istanbul - The people, the location and that view from the terrace - such an amazing place. Metro stop is right outside the hotel and so are most of the touristy spots.
• Celine (10/5): Nice hotel close to all the historical places - The hotel is next to all the places i wanted to see so the location is perfect. I walked approximately 5 minutes to see Hagia Sophia. Lobby wasn't very big but reseption lady was so helpful and friendly. She recommended me a one hour modern turkish dans show which was great ! My room was clean and bad was comfortable but i wish they will renew carpets one day. Most of all i liked the view from terrace that i could see the Marmara Sea and Blue Mosque with all its glory. And breakfast was so healthy, breakfast lady said it was Turkish traditional breakfast. If i will ever come to this city again im sure i will choose the same hotel.
• Faisal (8/5): Excellent location and friendly staff - Excellent location right next to Sultan Ahmed, Hagia Sofia, Topkapi. Friendly staff. Clean rooms and linen
• Cal (8/5): - Great views from the rooftop! Very good location. Close to all the major sights.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Thumbs up - Inexpensive, small with aged furniture but clean and neat, good location, walking distance to several attractions, courteous staff fluent in English.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Noisy and very small rooms, but close from my historical places.
• RODNEY (10/5): - It was very nice.
• Verified traveler (2/5): Avoid this hotel if you can - Hotel is overrated with 3 stars. There was no desk or table to set up my laptop. I had to use my suitcase as table ceiling was peeling due shower leak above my room.
• steve (10/5): best location in old city - this hotel's location was perfect.. you can not find another hotel for location better than here.. museums, restaurants, shops. hotel next to tram station. clean room, very good open buffet breakfast.. WI - FI superb.. who working there all was very helpful.. roof top view was breathtaking.. my room view over looking the mosque and sea.
• FAWZIA (4/5): - I stayed in this hotel five years ago, and it was just fine. It is run by a bunch of people who do not quite know what they are doing. For example, three days there was a major power cut, and the temps were +38C (high 90"s in F )! The management did nothing! No generators, no flash lights. The breakfast person decided not to come and serve breakfast one day! No explanation! I was fully charged for everything, and too tired to argue. They did provide the airport shuttle, however; and the location is perfect!
• Steve (6/5): Sutanahmet Istanbul - Hotel is located in the Sultanamet district of the old city within walking of many of the major sites in a very vibrant neighborhood. The staff were very helpful and accommodating. The rooms could have used some updating particularly the bathrooms that were the old-style bathrooms that had a shower with no stall/curtain making it a rather awkward situation for those not used to this. The room service could've paid a bit more attention to detail and the location was problematic only because it was quite noisy at night as it was the beginning of Ramadan and people were celebrating in the street and in the parks across the way and being so close to the mosques that put out the call to prayer before dawn. It served my purpose for the week I was there as a first time visitor. I will probably make another choice for future visits.
• Pauline (6/5): Position Position Position - If position and friendliness are what you want than this is it, a stone's throw to the Blue Mosque and the Grand Bazaar. Unfortunately the hotel's facilities and condition do not match up but it is definitely cleaned every day which is important to me. When I booked I was not aware of which room I was getting and it was the one which looked onto a wall with the smallest combined bathroom and toilet I have ever seen - probably 0.75m x 1.25m. I complained and was upgraded with no cost to myself after a few days to a room overlooking the main street which was fantastic. The manager said that he wanted happy customers and I definitely was then. Make sure you get the street view!
• atef (10/5): Loved it - Room may be dated, but what it lacks in modernity is made up for in staff, location, breakfast & WiFi. I am in awe for the help rendered by Ms Cigdem, she answered my emails prior to arrival, arranged for airport transport & was a charming host. She recommended a one day trip, which turned up to be the best day of my stay. Faith, who works the night shift is courteous & very helpful. Location is the best, Blue Mosque, Topkapi & Ayasofia are a short walk away. The tramway station is right outside the door, and the street is full of eateries & money changers, tour agencies ... Etc. The view from the terrace , where breakfast is served, is just breathtaking. But don't just think about the view, the breakfast was varied, delicious & served with a smile daily. This is my first visit to Istanbul & I loved it thanks to the hotel staff. Excellent work, thank you.
• Shirley Smith (8/5): Excellent situation with great views. - We stayed for 3 nights which is right at the Sultanahmet tram stop, service excellent but the twin room was very small. The breakfast was lovely and even had a hot newly baked cheese roll included.
• Tom (8/5): Beautiful Istanbul - 5 nights stay at hotel, convenice to reach by tram. Great shopping and tourist sites within walking distance. Good view of Blue Mosque from breakfast room terrace. Helpful and friendly staffs. Expect small room in city.
• jaz (2/5): Not worth penny - I booked in this hotel 5 nights from 13/4/15 Till 18/4/15 I paid for double room and 1 double bed. But they just give me 2 singles for 3 nights I just could not sleep there. So on 16th I really need to changed hotel So 1st time I had good Sleep. I will not use this hotel for free and I will Naver use (Expidea.co.uk) So I needed to pay twice for hotels paid full
• Ali (8/5): Good location - we stayed here for 3 days and we enjoyed our stay.
• Tatiana (10/5): Perfect spot to explore Istanbul - This is a small and welcoming hotel in a perfect location. Easy to get to: I got there by metro from the airport (with 1 change) and the hotel is right across from the station. They also offer airport shuttle at a very good price (twice less than most hotels I've seen). And its within walking distance to a must see Istanbul's attractions. The room was tiny but clean and comfortable. Hotel staff was friendly and helpful. Overall, a great experience!
• tiggy (10/5): Great stay & great value - I really enjoyed the this hotel. They gave me a room with view to the blue mosque on the 3. floor. Room was clean and every day sheets changed and they cleaned the bathroom and took the garbage. Breakfast was amazing with the greatest view from the roof top. They served cheese rolled and scramble eggs every day with the fresh fruits. Staff was awesome and they were very helpful to me. They know everywhere. One of the staff gave me an istanbul card for the transportation, it was very useful. Thank you for great stay in this hotel and highly recommended this hotel to everyone.
• Verified traveler (4/5): - Disappointing time as the room and most of the hotel smelt of sewerage and the staff seemed unable to address the issue . the desk staff did not understand basic English so it was difficult . We were promised a change of room and then told it was not possible . The room was dark , had no ventilation and was very small with low door ways so a problem for a tall person . The bathroom drain was blocked and did not drain while the shower was running. They have a great view from the roof top and this could be a good place to stay .
• Mansour (2/5): Disappointing: - We did the reservation based on the review and location of the hotel. Pictures which were in the site looked decent. Lobby, is the first place you enter; we could not believe how old and uncomfortable the furniture’s were (Two sofas). Hotel has four floors with windy stairs, to our surprise no elevator, which it would be very hard for old people. The view of our room was to the wall. the carpet were old and stained, walls were spackled for repair , TV was so old hardly showing anything.And other rooms open to very busy and noisy street. Breakfast was what it was, it was not that great. They did not have any services like tea or coffee, small refrigerator or even water. For drinking water, they have one water cooler down in the “lobby” with horrible cups. The guy, who works at night, did not speak English and when we were leaving early morning, did not help us with our luggages. We never ever go back to that hotel again and not recommend it to anyone.,
• Mary V (8/5): perfect locale - Amazing location just across from Blue Mosque; lovely and helpful staff especially Chidam; great breakfasts on the roof deck with the view. But rooms are tiny/bath is like a closet and many stairs with no elevator. I would recommend if you can do stairs and don't mind a tiny room/bath.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Quaint rooms, great location - This hotel is in a great location for visiting Istanbul's most popular tourist destinations, such as Hagia Sofia and Blue Mosque. It is also steps from the tram which makes it easy to get around the city. Rooms are basic but quaint. The bathrooms are small (read: shower is integrated into bathroom, not a separate stall) but there is hot water and the room didn't feel the least bit damp as most hotels rooms with this type of bathroom typically do. The view from the rooftop terrace is amazing! And the included breakfast was delish! All in all, I think the rooms are a little overpriced for what they are but you can't really beat the location.
• pat (4/5): - Without doubt, the worst accommodation we have ever seen. The double room was tiny with no space for a wardrobe or cupboard. There was a wall hook for a few clothes - everything else had to be left on the floor. There was a window but it only looked out on to an internal spiral fire escape. Therefore, there was no light nor fresh air, There was a tv on the wall but it was old and only had Turkish channels. The plasterwork around the door was falling away and the room had obviously not been decorated for years. The "en suite" was a tiny loo (with no handbasin) and a showerhead on the wall. All you could do to have a shower was to sit on the toilet and hold the showerhead above you. The only things which prevent us from giving the lowest mark possible was that the staff were very friendly and breakfast on a nice roof terrace looking out at The Blue Mosque was ok. I really could not recommend this hotel to anyone who wants any degree of comfort.
• Wayne (6/5): Great Location - Worlds Smallest Bathroom - The bathroom is the ultimate efficiency and there is a slight weird smell so bring some febreeze or candles. Breakfast is awesome and the location is the best in the city. Its up to you if you are looking for luxury or location. Best location and good breakfast. But again the bathroom is small and there is a smell.
• Manju (10/5): LOCATION :)) LOCATION :)) & CLEAN HOTEL - Great location , very close to sightseeing 1-2 minutes wolking. Blue Mosque , Hagia Sophia,Grand Bazaar etc...

• Susie (8/5): Great location - Wonderful breakfasts overlooking Istanbul
• Suzy (8/5): Great Location for visiting sights - Everything was great except for the bathroom... and the fact that the water quit running while I was in the shower... it happens...
• Verified traveler (2/5): The hotel is bad - This hotel is very bad. I don´t understand how in expedia this hotel is classified as 3 starts. In my opinion the hotel is 1 start. The only advantage os the hotel is its location that is very good.
• Ana (2/5): Misleading - My husband checked in two days before my arrival ( (I was at a conference at another part of town) and the next day he checked out and moved to another hotel. We are used to travelling in Europe where hotel rooms are usually smaller than US standards but , according to him, this room was the size of our walk in closet. There was no space for anything let alone for two adults to share the room. The room pictured on your site is the only one which is of a reasonable size but it is more expensive and was not available when he checked in. The service was also not good at all. He moved our reservation to a few doors down and we were quite happy with it. Do not reccomend this place at all.
• NAdia (10/5): SultanAhmet Hotel - this place is awesome. close to everything and the lady at the front desk is the best. she will arrange everything for you if you need it. will def come here again.
