The Hotel Zeynep Sultan is very conveniently located and walkable to the major historical sites eg. Hagia Sofia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, the Basilica Cistern, etc. The housekeeping is immaculate. The staff couldn't be nicer or more accommodating. They were very helpful. Breakfast is in a lovely roof top area. However, the rooms can be very small by American standards. My first room didn't have a closet or wardrobe. To enter the bathroom, I had to turn sideways (see photo). My second visit was in a better and slightly larger room. I would try for larger quarters the next time.

This small and cozy property was tucked in an alley way just behind the Hagia Sophia. The breakfast offered was a pleasant variety. It is a 5-10 minute walk from the grand area of the Hagia Sophia and Sultanahmet mosques. There is a small convenience shop just around the corner. It is steps away from the city tram, bus stops, shopping and restaurants.

Small boutique hotel strategically located near the most famous attractions and walkable distance from most places. Good breakfast on a nice terrace with nice views. Couple of things to improve: air con wasn’t efficient and hot water at busy periods was like dripping our (lack of pressure, a pump should be installed). Other than that, free coffee and biscuits offered between 5-7pm Would definitely recommend

Fantastic location for main attractions, Less than ten minutes from blue mosque, Hagia Sophia and Topkapi. Very clean, helpful and courteous staff.

Within five min walk of two tram station s Gulhane and Sultanahmet. Room service everyday and tea coffee making facility in room. Would definitely return.

Great Place To Stay.

The only slight complaint that I could have, is that the bed was a bit hard for my taste. But I had the same issue in Athens. So maybe a firmer bed is a thing in this part of the world. But other than that, this place is awesome! Great room with coffee, A/C and refrigerator/mini-bar. A/C worked great. Breakfast was very good. Inside and outside seating for breakfast. (Buffet style) If you chose to eat outside, DON'T leave your plate of food unattended, even for a moment. Those seagulls are not sitting around there for no reason. I found out the hard way! The staff was wonderful. Just nice folks! You will be near all the main tourist attractions. Finally watch some YouTube regarding scammers in Istanbul. I did, and a few of them were tried on me. This place is shopping heaven! The place to buy gold!

We booked a triple room for 4 nights at this hotel. We had a comfortable stay, the rooms were clean, beautifully decorated and furnished in neutral colours. The hotel is located on a side street leading to the tram stops. It’s in a convenient location within walking distance to famous land marks of Sultanahmet area, shops and restaurants. The breakfast was enjoyable with a large selection of hot and cold options. The reception staff were friendly and helpful. A big thank you to Suleyman. I would recommend this hotel.
