9.6/10 Exceptional! (8 reviews)

Quite new clean and very helpful staff. Stayed in two different rooms, both have sea view, clean, and quite. This place is also close to the major mosques and a train station. Highly recommended!

8.4/10 Very Good! (1,003 reviews)

The hotel was average. I chose to upgrade to a ground floor room, which was nice, but dark with very little sunlight. It was quiet for the most part, except for the neighbours who kept slamming the shared door to the main area.

9/10 Wonderful! (706 reviews)

This is my favorite place to stay in Sultanahment. Wonderful location, great restaurant with amazing view, and very delicious famous breakfast. The service is very professional, rooms are clean and quiet. The restaurant on the 5th floor is very convenient for late dinner or early breakfast. And I love the adhans, and Ayasofia view is amazing!

I always go here when I visit. It's one of my favourite buildings in Istanbul. The harmony and respect between Islam and Christianity is touching but the architecture is spectacular when you consider how old it actually is. Don't forget to touch the lucky spot on the weeping column (to the right as you exit the main mosque).
