Top Sultanahmet Hotel Reviews

Armada Istanbul Old City Hotel

4/10 Poor

"En ningún momento nos dieron status Gold ! No lo deberían promover con esa categoría por ello no lo toman en cuenta ; adicionalmente en el cuarto encontramos vasos sucios."

Kalyon Hotel Istanbul

10/10 Excellent

"When we arrived at the hotel, the room which we selected wasn't as ideal as possible, so the reception team pulled out all the stops to make our visit as special as possible. We found the hotel to be clean and well managed. The breakfast was lovely with plenty of choice to cater for various taste and the waitress staff were also very attentive."

Hotel Arcadia Blue Istanbul

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing time at the Arcadia Blue hotel at Sultanahmet. It’s a wonderful hotel and the staff were super helpful and accommodating. The location was fantastic, you could literally walk to every attractions in the area from Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia, Topkapi, Grand Bazaar, etc. the tram is just minutes away if you need to go other areas. Very kid friendly - we travelled with a toddler. The view from the hotel looking at the blue mosque is just unbelievable. And the rooftop breakfast area and the view is just stunningly gorgeous. Everything about the hotel is top notch from location, cleanliness, A/C, staff and all. We are already planning our next visit to this hotel in December. Keep up the great job."

Sultanhan Hotel - Special Class

10/10 Excellent

"This is a beautiful hotel. I highly recommend it for your stay in Istanbul. All the staff from the people at the front desk to the cleaning crew and the dining area staff are all so caring and friendly. It is conveniently located to the Tram stop, Grand Bazaar and shopping areas. We’ve stayed there multiple times and never a negative moment."

Sura Hagia Sophia Hotel

6/10 Okay

"Overall, we enjoyed our stay in Istanbul and the hotel’s location was excellent. However, our experience with the tea shop located inside the hotel was extremely disappointing. We purchased several tea products from the shop inside the hotel and later realized that the prices were extraordinarily high. The very next morning, I returned to the shop hoping to return part or all of the unused products, which were still in the same condition as when purchased. I was given a firm and immediate “no” without any effort to discuss a solution. I then attempted to speak with the hotel manager on three separate occasions. Each time I was told the manager was unavailable. I left messages and my contact information requesting a call back, but I never received any response. What disappointed me most was not only the amount of money spent, but the complete lack of follow-up and customer service. While I understand that the shop may have its own policies, I expected at least a conversation or acknowledgment from hotel management, especially since the shop is located within the hotel. My advice to future guests is to carefully ask for a detailed breakdown of prices before making any purchase from the tea shop. Turkey was a wonderful destination, and we truly enjoyed our trip, but this experience left a negative impression that could have been handled much more professionally."

GLK PREMIER Sea Mansion Suites & Spa - Special Class

8/10 Good

"The best feature of this quaint boutique hotel is the location. The next best thing is the staff in their diligent way of assisting every visitor to feel comfortable and welcome. The breakfast was more than adequate. I delight in Turkish breakfast and this one was lovely."
