Liked: Room comfort
The hotel does not look much like a hotel, but the rooms are pretty comfortable. The staff is nice kind, but if you are a girl who travels alone, be ready to way too much attention to yourself. Also, there is no noise insulation, so you can hear every word your neighbors say. And breakfast is already served, you can not choose what would you like to eat. However, it costs pretty cheap for a hotel near Aya Sofia. :)

Best view in Sultanahmet

I booked last minute due to location and reviews. I honestly didn't believe the photos of the view until I arrived! I was on the top floor in the economy double room which took some stairs to reach (but it's Istanbul! Everywhere has stairs!) the view and room was worth the climb! One window faced the Sultanahmet (Blue) Mosque with the most incredible view I've ever seen and the second out to the Marmara Sea! The rooftop terrace was opposite my room and I seemed to be the only one who used it. Mehmet was a gracious host and helped carry my bags up upon arrival and offered advice and a smile each day. It's important to note, the hotel has a shop front downstairs and so the entrance is locked around midnight however if you discuss with Mehmet your plans he is accommodating in arranging a key for you to get in or he will come to open the door for you. Sultanahmet is an incredibly safe area with people around what seems like 24/7. As a solo female traveller I felt 100% safe regardless of the time and I think locals are mindful of that. If you're in the sultanahmet square (a 4 minute walk away) they'll politely offer you water or tea but will not harass you at all even at 2am! I would definitely recommend Lamp Hotel, especially if it's your first time in Istanbul!

Stay Away - Stay Away

Terrible Experience: they cheated us by advertising low price then increasing it once we started the reservation. They gave us a room below what we paid for!! They advertised a room with Blue Mosque view but gave us different one!! - I plan to deny the charges once I go back to the States. There awful odor in the toilet. There was no room services to clean or change towels. The towels are in very bad shap.This place used to be guest house then became 'hotel'. They called us at 11 to remind us about 11:30 chech-out!! There is no elevator. The stairs are too narrow.

Quaint hotel close to Ayasofia and Blue Mosque

Hotel was easy to find and is walking distance to key sights. A one block walk to the bazaar and two blocks to the Blue Mosque and Ayasofia. The hotel does not have many rooms and is the absolute best value. The AC is cold, wifi is fast, and it is well situated. Everyone is hospitable and welcoming, not something universally found in Istanbul. The hotel is perfect for a sleeping place or somewhere to rest during a day of long walks. Highly recommend this hotel. We will definitely be staying here on our return trips to Istanbul.
