Sultanahmet Palace is ideally located close to major historical buildings and markets, shops and restaurants are all walkable. Staff are helpful, kind and very knowledgeable about local attractions. Rooms are immaculately clean with excellent views. Restaurant food could be a little better.

Great location and property

Amazing location. We walked out the front door of the hotel and saw a stunning view of the Blue Mosque. Easy walking distance to many historical sites and restaurants. Clean, comfortable rooms with a good, included breakfast and excellent, attentive service. Would definitely stay here again.

Does not honour offer from Hotels.com

Overall very good but they refuse to honour the offer from Hotels.com on food and beverage 20% off unless you tell the restaurant when your order so beware. They would not honour at checkout or after communication from Hotels.com . This is not good business and for that reason after 2 bookings I will not go back or recommend to friends.

Great service in a good hotel

Beautiful Ottoman old building with great view of the sea from the restaurant. Unfortunately the room is quite small and the hotel needs renovation. Alex at the reception was very helpful with his advice and is one of the main reasons for the overall rating we gave. Thank you Alex!

The bathroom was small in the ocean view room, the one in which I stayed. There is no escalator. However, the staff are friendly and helpful. The staff heled with taking luggage to upstairs room and helped with reservations for sight visits and Hamam. The breakfast was very good and the room ad excellent sea view!

The location is brilliant. It’s between the Sofia Hag and the blue mosque and if you follow the tram line down you can walk it to the grand bazaar. The hotel is quite simple in design - the bathroom was clean. The shower was unique with a hamam bowl in it - wasn’t too sure what to do there. My only negative point was that the pillows were awful. It’s not a luxurious hotel - the location is why you stay there. I found the staff very friendly. It’s simple- if you greet them with kindness and happiness they’ll be the same with you . Breakfast was a simple affair and did the job- but a lovely view over the water . I’d stay there again but would take my own pillow next time.
