Top Sultanahmet Hotel Reviews

Hotel Rose Bouquets

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, pleasant and friendly staff. Nice shower. Good position for Sultanahmet sightseeing. "

Hotel Amira Istanbul

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was friendly and welcoming and helpful. I arrived very early and was offered breakfast even though i just got fed on the flight. It was nice to have a place to sit and relax and have coffee, and I was notified via whatsapp before 11 that my room was ready while I was out sightseeing. Breakfast was nice as well with some hot items changed from day to day. All in all, the place was low key and efficient and very comfortable - not to mention the location that allows you to walk to most of the major sites. Uber comes very fast if you need one. There are taxis which double as uber sitting outside all the time. "

Hotel Arcadia Blue Istanbul

10/10 Excellent

"Great sized room, comfy bed and excellent location. Perfect for exploring all the sights by foot. Hotel staff were friendly and breakfast was excellent with plenty of options with a breathtaking view. Only slight negative was the duvet was not quite big enough to cover 2 People, a larger duvet or 2 single duvets would have been better. A blanket was provided in the room so this didn't spoil our stay "

Sura Hagia Sophia Hotel
