Highly recommend this hotel in Sultanahmet area .

We had a small room on the first floor facing the street but it was quiet and comfortable for our needs . Very clean and good housekeeping . The breakfast was good and the young lady was attentive . I must compliment the front desk staff , Younis , Lokman and Zeki. Younis was so friendly and helped with arranging tours and giving information about the closest ATM etc. Lokman was there every night to greet us when we returned and ask about our day. Younis brought us a basket of fruit and wine due to our status with Hotels.com. This was not expected but very kind and thoughtful. If we are back in Istanbul we will definitely stay here again as the location is fantastic and the staff is very informative and friendly. On a rainy day we were given an umbrella too . Little things mean a lot when you travel . If you choose this hotel you will not be disappointed!

This hotel was amazing. Great and friendly staff. The room and bathroom is clean. Breakfast was ok, could have had more options, but still enough to fill you up and even go for round 2. Location is very good. Within walking distance of the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia, Grand Bazaar with close Tram links. I would recommend eating and dining near YusufPasa, as its half the price compared to where this hotel is situated.

We got a suite with 2 bedrooms connected which was very convenient for family of 4. Beds and bathrooms were very nice and clean. Location is walkable to many dining options and all the main siteseeing. The hotel staff stored our luggage for free from checkout to 430pm. The transfer cost to and from airport was comparable to other private shuttle but felt safer. Traditional breakfast was included and freshly made. Not many continental options. We could hear the prayers from the mosque at 430am which we didnt mind and you would hear it anywhere that close to the center. Overall, it was a great stay. Pricey but worth it as we got to enjoy terrace dining with view of blue mosque whi ch we wouldnt have done if we stayed far from center.

The Obelisk Hotel is situated in the heart of historical Istanbul. The location is perfect for access to all the major sites by walking. We were two minutes from the Blue Mosque, three from Haggia Sofia and five minutes from Topkapi Palace or the Basilica Cisterns. The Grand Bazaar is about 15 minutes walk and the Egyptian bazaar about 20 or 25 minutes. There are local tram stops and lots of taxis for longer journeys. The hotel itself is modern and well kept. The cleanliness and service are excellent. There is a restaurant on site, but it only serves breakfast. However, there are dozens of local restaurants where you can find lunch or dinner. There is no bar at the hotel , but several of the local restaurants offer bar-like service, if you just want a beer or wine. The restaurants want your trade and are not afraid of approaching you in the street with offers etc. Don't be afraid to say no. A polite refusal is well understood. The local Turkish people are keen traders and, again, offers will be made to take you to sweet shops or carpet salesrooms. All very interesting, but remember, you don't have to buy. Overall an excellent hotel in a prime position.

The front desk staff was very helpful and accommodating. The maid service was excellent. The breakfast was mediocre at best. One day the coffee machine did not work. The other day there was no bread available. Some days the fruit basket was not replenished, fruit was over ripe. The pastries were not good, the same cake slices left on the tray for a week. The food was not kept hot, the warming trays were not working adequately. The breakfast was the most disappointing aspect of the stay.

The area The obelisk hotel is located in Sultanahmet, where many of the historical attractions in Istanbul are - because of this, the prices in the area are a little higher. The eateries around Obelisk are the same, but they also have terrace seating with views of the Old City, which in itself is very nice. One thing to note is due to their proximity to tourist areas, some discretion should be exercised when shopping/dining in the area around the hotel. The hotel stay We were upgraded to the unit on the top floor, which has an adjoined terrace on the fourth floor. This gave us a nice view and a very cool space to enjoy dinner and some tea while soaking in the surroundings. The room was clean, spacious and well-maintained. Yunus at the reception wasvery helpful and gave us good food recommendations, and gave us useful suggestions of places to visit. The hotel helped us arrange a transfer to and from the airport for our stay before we arrived, which helped us avoid the hassle of securing transportation at the airport. Breakfast was included during our stay, and traditional Turkish fare was offered for breakfast. This was alright, but we did not check any options outside of the hotel, given what we mentioned about the area being slightly pricier.
