"Beautifully appointed room with view of Hagia Sophia. Ideal location to all the ancient archeological sites and restaurants. Friendly helpful staff. Easy to get to from airport: took the eleven bus to Sultan Ahmed stop (1 hr 13 min ride) to a 3 min walk to hotel. Highly recommend it"

"Hotel was clean, was in a wonderful location, and the staff was helpful (although English challenged). Hotel was quiet and very clean. Surrounded by wonderful restaurants. Breakfast was extensive and although not to OUR tastes was well liked by all other guests. Had a heating problem with our room which was fixed by the next night. Would certainly stay again. Suggestion: Do NOT book the night dinner cruise on the Bospherous. Bad food but good entertainment. Expensive. Take a day cruise instead. We booked an official Turkish guide through the hotel and were very satisfied with him and official Turkish guides are highly regulated and VERY knowledgable. In all of our travels on the Med. we liked Istanbul the best over Rome, Barcelona, Lisbon (although all of those are world class cities). NOTE: Change money in Turkey. Evidently everybody does and the exchange rates are MUCH better than we got with our bank and there appear to be currency exchange kiosks with 4 on every block. Almost everybody LOVES dollars or Euros but carefully note the exchange rate that merchants are giving. Turkey appears to be a bargaining culture and tips are appreciated although not expected. We found Turkish merchants to be persistent but NOT objectionable. Turkey is NOT a touching culture. Arrange airport pickup through the hotel. The "new" Istanbul airport is large and modern with a LOT of walking and poor English signage. Note that Turkey is not an EU country with significant passport procedure"

"Delightful experience. Use them every visit"

"Excellent hotel and great courteous service. My only peeve is that though it is a nice area but at 3/4 of a kilometer away from shopping areas. "

"Great staff, all of the front desk personnel were great, accommodating and excelled in communication. Service was fast, rooms clean and comfortable. Also in a perfect location. Would stay here again if I came back to Sultanahmet "

"Staff were excellent. Breakfast was phenomenal with lots of tasty local options. Room was very spacious and beds were very comfortable. Lots of hot water. Location is perfect for local attractions e.g blue mosque and hagia sophia"

"Amazing Ottoman era lounge welcomes you upon arrival with a Turkish tea and a small treat. The hotel is beautiful! Staff is friendly and give recommendations for your stay. Breakfast on the rooftop offers views of the city and water! You can spend time exploring the hotel just as much as the city. It’s located very near the train for ease of access to sites around the city. Highly recommend this hotel! "
