Great hotel in an excellent location just a 5 minute walk from major attractions like Hagia Sophia, the Grand Bazaar, and many other landmarks. The surrounding area is lively, full of restaurants including Nusr-Et and many others, yet the hotel itself remains very quiet and peaceful. The service was excellent, making the stay even more enjoyable.

Disliked: Amenities
Staff was friendly, the hotel is located in a good area easy to walk to almost all the main tourist areas in Istanbul. Breakfast options are limited. The transportation was good, they have spacious vans and in good conditions however, the drivers are careless when driving, over the speed limit and not slowing down in curves etc. we were very scared both times on our way from the airport to the hotel and on our way back to the airport.

A small, cozy hotel conveniently located near the Metro M4 line (from the airport) and close to the city center. Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque are just a 5–6 minute walk away. The rooms are quite small but sufficient for a comfortable night’s rest. The hotel is right next to a busy street, which might bother some guests, especially during the summer when it would be nice to keep the window open. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Serdar and Inga are true hosts, always ready to share useful tips and recommendations. The breakfast could be a bit more varied, but you definitely won’t go hungry. Overall, it’s good value for the price.

Hotel Sultanahmet is located perfectly, only a few minute walk from Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. Tons of restaurants in the area and s grocery store on the same block. Very clean, good AC, VERY good breakfast! The staff is the friendliest i've seen in any hotel! Inga (the room service lady) helped us with everything we needed, she gave us an outlet adapter, corkscrew, and a public transport card free of charge, that was so nice of her! Thank you so much Inga! Will definitely be back!
