Top Theodosius Cistern Hotel Reviews

Seven Hills Palace & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing customer service, attentive staff, and beautiful, spacious rooms! We were initially booked in the annex building, but the hotel graciously accommodated us with a room in a different building late at night, which we truly appreciated. The spa was delightful, and even our walk-in experience without a prior booking was fantastic. The spa staff were welcoming, respectful, and incredibly helpful, making the experience even more enjoyable. The hotel's central location is another huge plus, with easy access to major attractions, popular sites, and nightlife. You really can't go wrong staying here! Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would absolutely book this hotel again on our next visit to the city. Highly recommended!"

The Marmara Taksim

10/10 Excellent

"Great location Shopping and restaurants Very secure and safe Bar staff were great."

Sultanhan Hotel - Special Class

8/10 Good

"Perfect location, great authentic room (maybe needs a bit of TLC) esp. bathroom . Very clean and staff were all friendly, Breakfast was disappointing. Not huge not a huge choice We had a great deal through Expedia - wouldn’t pay the full prices I see online."

Carina Gold Hotel and Restaurant

8/10 Good

"Excellent location. Excellent breakfast"

Emerald Mansion Hotel – Special Class

10/10 Excellent

"Emerald Mansion Hotel is an absolutely wonderful place to stay, situated in a fantastic location in Istanbul! The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Honestly, I’d go beyond calling them friendly—they were amazing! The hospitality made my stay even more enjoyable, and I truly appreciated the care and kindness shown throughout my visit. When I return to Istanbul, Emerald Mansion Hotel will undoubtedly be at the top of my list of accommodations. I highly recommend it!"

Golden Royal Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"I will stay again in it"

AJWA Sultanahmet

10/10 Excellent

"The property was lovely and the staff were very helpful and made us feel like home. We had breakfast in the restaurant 3 times - but for the price I would have only gone there once. The room was beautiful and had everything we could want in it - only thing was I wish it had more natural light. Overall we were happy we stayed there the ambience exceeded our expectations."

Blue Gilroy Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was nicely decorated and very clean. Great shower too! Location is excellent for visiting the sights in the Sultanahmet area, but a few steps away from the most crowded areas. I have one complaint: 3 days into our 4 day stay, they told us that breakfast is not included and we would have to pay for breakfast going forward. I showed them the confirmation from hotels.com clearly said "breakfast included"; they showed me the printout from their system that said "room only". I pointed out that it's their responsibility to ensure the information on hotels.com is accurate, not mine. They never apologized. Otherwise I had a great stay. One other note: the hotel is probably not suitable for people with accessibility needs. Entering requires going down a flight of stairs. After that their is an elevator, but it is extremely small."
