Sultanahmet Palace Hotel

Cannot beat the location, staff.

The ambiance of the hotel was amazing in addition to its location. The staff was attentive and supportive. I will definitely stay here again.

Very convenient location. It was a walking distance from the blue mosque and other tourism spots. Staff were nice too.

Location is phenomenal, which will be helpful for short stays in Istanbul. Within walking distance to the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. Public transportation was right around the corner. The hotel is unique and beautiful. The room was comfortable enough, but the bathroom was very small; we had to squeeze through the door to get in the bathroom and then close it to wash hands. Breakfast is good, but not great.

Amazing location just in front of Blue Mosque, close to shops and restaurants. The room was clean and the service here was on the highest level. People working in the reception and the restaurant are very polite, friendly and professional.

We stayed five nights and we absolutely loved our experience. The hotel itself is an Ottoman era mansion with beautiful antique architecture, lovely grounds, and a great view of the Sea of Marmara from its back terrace and restaurant. You cannot beat the location right behind the Blue Mosque, and minutes away from the Hagia Sophia and Topkapi Palace. The staff were super helpful, polite and attentive. Our room was comfy and just what we needed for two people. After six days exploring the surrounding area, in my humble opinion this is the best hotel option in the area by far. My only super minor critique would be the food, especially the eggs at breakfast could be a bit tastier, nevertheless we loved our breakfast experience every morning watching the sun rise over the sea. Thank you!!

Everything and everyone at the hotel was great. The room was clean with plenty of space , the bed was comfortable and the pillows not to soft or hard. The front desk was extremely courtesy and helpful. They helped take my luggage up to my room for me and in the early morning when I had to leave in the early hours check out was fast and they kept an eye out for my ride back to the airport. The restaurant in the back was priced ok with the portions of food. Overall a great experience and if I were to visit Istanbul again for whatever reason I would definitely stay here again.

I had the best time in Istanbul with this hotel. Breakfast was especially amazing. I want to thank for the staff and all the kindness.

Loved this place. It did not disappoint. Absolutely THE best view of the Blue Mosque from their beautiful court yard. I could have sat in the court yard all day. Excellent, attentive staff made great recommendations. Breakfast with an unbeatable water view. Great value. Utilized their private transport from airport per reviewer suggest and glad we did (worth the extra $). Bazaar just across the street was a fun bonus. Everything you want to see is very walkable from this hotel and easy to find!

This was an OUTSTANDING place to stay. Really, I can’t say enough good things about it.

First, the design/decor in the Ottoman motif is beautiful in every detail. We felt like we stepped back in time.

The service was also par excellence. Every request was met quickly and pleasantly. The front desk team was careful to make sure all our arrangements were in place and on time.

The onsite restaurant was also a big plus. A great buffet was ready for us every morning, with a pleasant view looking over the ocean.

Finally, the location directly across from the Blue Mosque was super-convenient for access to all of old town İstanbul.

Edit: it is highly advisable to accept the offer of shuttle driving to/from this hotel as arranged by the hotel staff. It is well worth the cost!
