Top Sultanahmet Hotel Reviews

Senatus Hotel - Special Class

10/10 Excellent

"This is a great place to stay in Istanbul. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The breakfast had a good variety and was tasty. The location is superb close to all of the major sites in Sultanhamet. The only weakness was that the Wi-Fi blocked my VPN but that is typical of many places in Turkey due to the authoritarian government. Overall I had a great stay and would definitely stay here again."

Fer Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Extremely lovely little gem in the heart of old town, Istanbul. A beautifully designed hotel around a well lit courtyard. The staff is very courteous, the breakfast buffet is extensive and the location of this hotel is picture perfect being a five minute walk from the great mosques, the grand bazaar and tons of shopping and restaurants. Although the hotel has been open for many years, the maintenance and upkeep is amazing and it looks brand new. We had a suite that was large sized and perfect for our family."

Sultanahmet Palace Hotel - Special Class

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful situated hotel, close to all the sights, giving an authentic feel. The staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly. The breakfast was very varied, catering for all tastes and I would strongly recommend the omelettes which are freshly made to order. I would definitely recommend Sultanahmet Palace Hotel "

Recital Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We were impressed with the staff, very friendly and helpful, the cleanliness of the room and lobby. Comfortable beds, good breakfast selection and great location with lots of restaurants. It is no more than 10 minutes to many of the sites and the tram line T1 is 5 minutes away that takes you to the sites abit farther away as well as to the other side of the Golden Horn!! This hotel is great value for the money! We highly recommend!"
