Wonderful hotel. I originally booked another hotel but had to cancel because it was not at all livable. I randomly came across this hotel and I am very happy I did. This hotel is on a lovely quiet street, close to all the attractions/ restaurants and shops, has an amazing friendly receptionist, and the room was clean with a large bathroom. The price is also perfect. I would definitely recommend staying at this hotel. Thank you for a lovely stay.

We had a great stay at Yilsam Sultanahmet Hotel in Istanbul. The location is at a walking distance to the most beautiful tourist sites like Haya Sophia and Blue Mosque. The room is comfortable, the breakfast is a delicious buffet with choices for every taste, and all the staff were very friendly and welcoming!

It was wonderful! The view from the room was beautiful, the breakfast was very good, with a variety of options. The staff is incredible! Especially the reception staff and the bellboys (especially the blue-eyed guy who even made an effort to speak Portuguese) were polite, kind, and helpful. I hope to return one day, and it would definitely be here.
