The Hotel was amazing. The views, food and staff were exceptional but the location was over the top in the middle of the Sultanahmet district. The Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern , Hagia Sophia , Hippodrome, Topkapi Palace and shopping were all within walking distance. Would highly recommend it, the staff will even arrange tours and transportation!

This hotel was perfect for my visit. The staff was exceptional- very friendly and helpful. The location is perfect - so close to the Blue Mosque, shops, even small grocery stores, etc. The breakfast was great and in their 5th floor restaurant with a fantastic view. It was so nice to just go upstairs for dinner, an enclosed rooftop restaurant open year round. Don’t miss seeing the Blue Mosque lit up at night. I had the best view from my 4th floor room with a balcony overlooking the sea. I would definitely stay there again!

We loved this hotel! The staff were all so very friendly, accommodating, and responsive. The place is very centrally located to all of the major attractions so if you’re short on time you can literally get the Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern, and Hagia Sophia in one day — granted we were in the shoulder season and not high-season. The rooftop was incredible! I only rated it lower because there is no AC or temperature control in the room and it got HOT, it was fine with the sliding door open, but you lose a star from me for no unit temp control.

It’s a great location. Our room was small but it did have a patio with sea view which was great. We were on the 4th floor room 405 underneath the restaurant which was noisy when the chairs were moved. The comforter was for a twin bed not queen so I had to request an extra blanket. The staff were wonderful and helpful. They arranged our transportation whether to the airport or location not in the area. They offered suggestions for dinner. If you not traveling with a lot of luggage it’s perfect for a few days in the Sultanachmut area.
