I really like the hotel staff (Murat, Arda and Sinan) who have been kindly and patiently helping me with all my tour questions/requests. They carried my luggage and showed me how to use the room facilities. They truly showed me how warm hearted Turkish people are 😊 Besides the restaurant ladies are kind and helpful too and I've enjoyed my Turkish breakfast every morning! I'm especially grateful to Murat, Arda and Sinan, they have saved me from personal situation as I'm the solo traveller. I'm sure you will be taken good care of by them too :)

Phenomenal property with opportunities to take memorable pictures everywhere. Nice finishing in units. Wonderful breakfast included. Gorgeous rooftop area to take pictures of Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. PERFECT LOCATION within walking distance to all the sites. Most memorable part (on top of all this!) was however the staff . Staff where there to help with any and all questions and even support us with taxi arrangements. Owner Ali was a truly exceptional host. When we return, we won’t think of going anywhere else!

Great location, this hotel is a gem in the heart of Istanbul and just 2-3 min walk to St Sophia, Top Kapi Palace and the Blue Mosque . The Old Cisterns are even closer to the hotel. I loved the breakfast, there is a big choice and a variety of tasty foods . The stuff at reception and in the restaurant are very friendly and helpful. We got an excellent service during our short stay, will be back for sure for a longer stay next year 😁

Hagia Sophia

In 537 AD, Hagia Sophia began life as a church, before becoming an Ottoman mosque in 1453. The largest cathedral in the world for almost a thousand years, this majestic building is considered one of the finest surviving examples of Byzantine architecture. Today, you can go inside and explore both the colossal structure as well as its museum.

    This was the most incredible part of Istanbul.

    This was the most incredible part of Istanbul. Again ensure proper attire or you have to pay for covering. The interplay of Christianity and the Muslim faith, and neither chose to desicrate the other. Just be aware that you will only be able to visit the upper section unless you're a practising muslim.

    Its a pity that such an UNESCO monument was turned into a Muslim Cami. And it is discrimination that all non Muslims cannot visit the whole area. As a Greek and orthodox I felt very sorry of the destructions of all the inside ( almost). This should be a museum open for all ,independent on their beliefs. Civilization is not looking into beliefs. Should be respected within centuries.

    Oh, what a delight.

    Oh, what a delight. I’m an open minded Christian so I appreciate such a wonderful and special place is still in place. You have to admitted if it wasn’t the Muslims it (probably) shared the fate of Acropolis. Is a wonder it does not crumble during times. Really. I was not able to take two straight pictures in a row, such a marvel of architecture is it, patch after patch. Is not the Pantheon, is not Basilica di San Pietro, but is still there. I also have to appreciate they respect the history and prior faith and do not cover part of the old (Christinas) paintings.

    The history is stunning and the main room is beautiful as well as the mosaics. However, I was underwhelmed considering they now charge to go in and you cannot go on the main floor (a result of it being turned into a mosque). Also the carpet choice doesn't help with the overall site. I think the other mosques were better. Also, there are LONG queues to buy a ticket and then queues to go in. I would recommend going to the Hagia Sophia experience museum (across the Obelisk) and buy tickets there.

    Insanely long lines deterred us, although you can take great shot elsewhere. Whether you are a man or woman, you need to cover up. Ladies with shawl, long sleeves, and down to ankles. Men with pants and at least a t-shirt (no tank tops). Otherwise, no entry.

    Once the seat of Christianity under Constantine the Great where Istanbul's original name came from (Constantinople) Still a very spiritual place where Christianity and Islam combine Worth a visit but go early many, many want to go. Take your time and view the murials on the upper floor

    I would especially like to appreciate to Ms. Şevval the way she provided support in a professional manner, both at the hotel and throughout our stay. She cooperated fully, even with tourist destinations. She is doing her job exceptionally well and is a great asset to the hotel. The hotel itself was clean, and the location was fantastic, with easy access to metro stations and famous destinations like the blue mosque, Hagia Sophia Grand Mosque and G grand bazaar Istanbul

    The hotel located close to tram stations and major attractions like the cruise pier, Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, and Grand Bazaar, all reachable within 10 -20 minutes by taking tunnel trai and tram. The facilities offered great value, and I loved the delicious breakfast. The staff were attentive and helpful, enhancing my stay. The hot water in the shower was a nice comfort. I faced a minor issue with the linens, but the staff resolved it promptly, showcasing their commitment to guest satisfaction.

    The hotel is in a very convenient location. Close to important tram stops, Sirkeci Train Station and near to Topkapi palace and Hagia Sophia. And it is not right on the main street which is quite busy, so you don't hear the noise from it very much. The breakfast is rich and varied enough every day, and the staff is extremely kind and responsive.

    The location of this hotel is the best part of the stay. It is just a 2–3 minute walk from the famous Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, and about a 10-minute walk from the Grand Bazaar. There are many restaurants nearby, and the environment around the hotel is lively. The staff were very friendly and arranged all our activities, tours, and taxis. Breakfast was wonderful, and the rooftop restaurant offers a breathtaking view of the entire city. I would definitely plan to book this hotel again if I travel to Istanbul.

    A very well located hotel in a busy environment. Very friendly and helpful staff. We were recommended to have breakfast at a bakery just opposite the hotel -- excellent price-quality relationship, definitely recommendable. From the hotel, you can walk in a couple of minutes to Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque or a Tram Station that brings you everywhere.

    We stayed in the Standard Suite and it was an excellent experience. The room was exactly like the pictures – very neat, clean, modern, and well-renovated. Everything we needed was provided and well managed. The hotel is also in a perfect location, just a short walk from all the main attractions in Sultanahmet Old Town (Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Grand Bazaar, etc.). Overall, a comfortable and hassle-free stay – highly recommended for anyone visiting Istanbul.

Everything was superlative, from the hotel's location near Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, to the cleanliness of the room, amenities, modern elevator and last but not least the friendliness of the staff (Met, Ahmet, Recep, the breakfast guys and the cleaning ladies). I will gladly return every time I come to Istanbul. Thank You Hotel is the perfect place for a comfortable and carefree stay in the heart of the famous Sultanahmet.
