Sultanhan Hotel - Special Class

Sultanhan Hotel - Special Class

10/10 Excellent
"Not a large variety of drinks ,rooms were very clean and the. Sheets and towels were changed daily. Everyone was very friendly and the person in charge of the front desk on the day shift was extremely helpful, going out of his way to give us information and advice on where to go and find activities for every day we spent in Istanbul. The location was also ideal because we were at walking distance of most of the attractions that are recommended to see on a trip to this pintoresco city. The Gran Bazar is a few blocks away ad well as dozens of nice restaurants and shops 👍"
