    Everything was amazing! We were staying with my mum and booked economy room but it was upgraded to room with balcony for free. Stuff was amazing, so nice and friendly. They were helping us throughout our stay at the hotel with any question. The room was clean and there is a restaurant with delicious food. We also got a discount for the first meal. The breakfast was included and it was a big variety of food and drinks.

    Our stay here was fantastic. The rooms are beautiful and clean. The staff is extremely friendly, you can ask Levent anything, he will be more than pleased to help with directions and transportation. Ramazan put all of our luggage in the room as there is no elevator. We were lucky and even got a free room upgrade! Breakfast was great and dinner, though a bit pricey, was delicious! Really nothing negative to say here, if you stay in sultanahmed, don't hesitate to make this your home base!

    Loved the hotel, I would return.
    • Leisure trip

    • Budget Double Room

    I am a solo traveller and felt I had to work a little bit harder than others to gain attention in the restaurant. Once I was seated at a table at the back of the inside restaurant but they did move me into the garden restaurant when I asked. The second time I was placed in a family room. Couples were served before me even though I arrived after them. The food is excellent and the service for others was very good. Accessibility - there is no lift at the hotel - this is stated clearly when booking. Also, the roads to the attractions are uphill and many are cobbled. It is difficult to walk on pavements and the kerbs can be high. This might be something to consider for mobility issues.

    Excellent location to all major attractions (walking distance). Quaint style. Friendly staff. Room was spacious with a good bathroom. Comfy bed, air conditioning and good wifi. Breakfast is included and the restaurant is open until 11 pm.

    Super located hotel with excellent restaurant

    The breakfast was lackluster. No fresh freshed juice, and the coffee was all made from instant coffee powder. Minor stuff: Some confusion arose where we were promised an upgrade, but it wasnt actually for us, and was then retracted. The associated leather store was predicatable tourist nonsense, and the bospherus boat tour promoted by the hotel is one of the bad over priced knockoffs , instead of one of the good boat tours.

    Extremely well located hotel in the old historic town. Co-located with a great (if quite pricy) restuarant that can serve great versions of the local dishes. The view is also good either to the garden or to to street with a view to the old hippodrome wall.

    In principle, we liked everything, but as they say, there is no limit to perfection.

    The staff was very polite and could answer all the questions I liked the hotel. The hotel is quiet, our room faced the street so it was a little noisy The breakfast is very good, although monotonous. Lots of fruits. Very tasty puff pastry The restaurant in the hotel is excellent. But it's quiet expensive.

    The hotel staff, especially Selcuk, were extremely helpful, and we were grateful to Ramazan for carrying our bags up and down the stairs to our garden room. Selcuk explained the benefits of and process for the Istanbulkart, which proved invaluable. The breakfast was excellent. The location was perfect for the sightseeing we wanted to do. The airport transfers were good and worth the 55€. The Garden Restaurant, located in the hotel, was an unexpected bonus - excellent food and exceptional service from Kadir. Friends joined us from England and we had a lovely reunion to celebrate my husband's 80th birthday. Thankyou.

    Several hours after checking in the hotel, while taking a walk, I fell and broke my ankle. People from the hotel came to my aid and called an ambulance. During the next few days, they were extraordinarily helpful to me and my husband in every way. The facility was wonderful but the staff was superb. I'll be forever grateful and can't praise them enough!
