I really appreciate the management and this hotel is charming with breakfast included it is a really great value. It's walking distance to all the special sites like the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and Basilica Cistern. I was really taken care of by the management and my room was adorable. Very happy with this stay! ❤️☺️
Great area, close to everything. Breakfast was fresh and very tasty. Hotel Staff, especially Idris, went out of their way to help out with any plans, and itinerary for the immediate area. Their recommendations were on point and we had a wonderful time. Restaurants and Cafes in the area were delicious.
This is an older hotel so no lift but it's right next to everything! Walking distance to blue Mosque, topkapi palace, you can see the Hagia Sophia from your windows. The T1 tram stop at gulhane is 1 minute walk as is gulhane park. Easy access to public transit you can be anywhere in the city in around an hour and a half (yes even the airports)
Friendly and helpful staff who are knowledgeable of Istanbul. They gave loads of tips and advice regarding best mode of travel. I was shocked at how close the main tourist attractions are. The tram is only 2 mins away and there are many local convenient stores and eateries available on foot. Breakfast was ok but we had no time to enjoy it as there's so much to do. Towels were changed daily, hot water always available. We were on the top floor with a view of the Hagia Sophia which was amazing, there's no lift so be aware. Fridge in the room was handy to store water bottles. The call to prayer can be heard clearly from the room, the night was quiet, some music can be heard from next door but all quiet after midnight. My stay in Istanbul was magical and the hotel were part of that.
This is a small hotel right next to the Hagia Sophia you can actually see it from your window. So it's super convenient and walkable to all the major sites: blue mosque, Hagia Sophia, topkapi palace, Bsilica cisterns, grand Bazaar you name it. Staff is helpful and goes out if their way to care for you. They helped set me up with a sim card for my older phone.
I like this hotel and I go every time I’m in Istanbul.
Staff are extremely friendly, respectful and kind.
Mr Atakan, special thanks to you! Mr Sabri you are a good man, 👍
The Modern Sultan Hotel is in a great central spot for a great price. It is boutique, has a lot of character yet has the amenities you need. A large shower, good working AC, and very walkable. I see the Aya Sofia outside our window. The staff are exceptionally friendly, and the free breakfast is exactly enough to start the day. 24 hour coffee and tea is also available at your service, and they have a nice front porch to sit and enjoy it! I would recommend if you are looking for something different than the typical hotel; a unique experience for sure.

It was hard to find because it was in the back of an alley, and I was tired from walking all day, and it was hard because it was located in a high place and the room was the highest, so I couldn't rest quickly
The rooms are large, and ornate, but lacking in maintenance. The air conditioning did not work, fittings were loose, or did not work. The staff were lazy, on their phones all the time. Breakfast poor, a cling flim covered plate of cheese, tomato, pink meat of some kind, but plenty of bread.
The staff was amazing. They treated us like part of their family. They were very helpful in finding us private transportation as I was traveling with elderly parents. One of the family rooms we had booked was being renovated, so they gave us an additional room for 2 nights for free. It is a very small place but very cozy and comfortable. This place is very close to all the places we wanted to visit.

The staff was helpful, breakfast full of variety and location ideal for the travellers
Excellent location, very near to all the main attractions. Was 5 mins from the main square and first stop for the hop on hop off bus. Staff very friendly, room was clean and shower very hot. Clean towels each day. Heating in room which was great. Breakfast each morning and the kind lady offered to make me an omelette. Safe in room and I felt safe at all times. Great shops nearby.
