This is a nice and conveniently located hotel. The rooms are however very small. We only stayed here for a night, which was ok, but for longer stays they seem too crammed.

This is an older character hotel in an outstanding location with beautiful views of both the sea and the Blue Mosque. They serve very good and varied breakfasts in their dining room with a view of the sea. Everything was clean. The shower is a bit weird with the hammam bowl in the middle of it and the bathroom in our 3rd floor side room was pretty cramped. But the views are unbeatable!

Lovely authentic Turkish Hotel very close to the Blue Mosque. Nice breakfast with a good view. Needed a little TLC but it was so authentic and close to everything it didn’t matter.

This could be an exceptional hotel if simple upgrades were provided like better quality bed pillows, linens and towels. The Ottoman style bathroom is unique but poorly functional. This style belongs in a hammam not a little hotel room. The coffee and lentil soup is dismal. Breakfast is good. This hotel is in a wonderful location, walking distance to all the old city attractions! Sumptuous decoration but rooms are somewhat shabby.

Perfect location for main tourist attractions in Istanbul - Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern and Hagia Sofia all within short walking distance. Cafes, restaurants and public transport all within easy reach. Helpful reception staff - nothing too much trouble. Breakfast - a wide variety of local and traditional food, again with friendly, helpful, courteous staff.

Property has a great location with great view to the Blue Mosque as well as Bosphorus. Breakfast is ordinary and so is the upkeep. Access to Hagia Sofia, shopping and other eateries makes it a good compromise. The other hotels in the area (besides Four Seasons and Hilton Suites, Curio Collection) are less impressive.

I stayed at the Sultanahmet palace hotel for a long weekend with my mum. The location is great - in the heart of Sultanahmet and near the tram too. The staff are super welcoming and polite. The hotel was really good value for money - our room was huge and looked out on the Blue Mosque.

I loved my stay at this hotel! It was close to almost everything. Even if not close, the metro was 5 mins away and so easy to access. I loved the view of the Bosphorus on one side and the view the Blue Mosque on the other side. The room was a little small but it felt nice to be in a more old Turkish style room. Also the bathroom was also a traditional hamam style. The staff was very helpful and kind!
