I stayed 10 days in this hotel. It is very well located near the main historical site: The Blue mosque, the Hagia Sophia and a 10 minute walk to the Grand Bazaar. Contrary to some of the other post I had excellent service from the people at the desk. They were friendly and helpful. Sorry but if I'm traveling and... More

Dirty, out dated, uncomfortable. Woman at front desk rude, unhelpful and disorganised. I find it hard to believe it would pass any safety standards or public health standard tests. Shower was cold, doors at toilets don't lock. No toilet paper.

The Sipahi Hotel is an excellent budget hotel in Istanbul. It is a hotel which has a very good position, very close to Istanbul's famous historical sites like the Sultan Ahmed Mosque or Hagia Sophia. Moreover, it is very close to the tram station "Cemberlitas" so the access is not a problem.The staff is very polite, helpful.

This was a great little place! The staff were the friendliest staff I've ever seen and were very welcoming. It's very close to all the main attractions and the rooms were clean and tidy.

I ended up at Sipahi Hotel in Istanbul after finding out that almost all hotels in Sultanahmet were full that weekend of September 2011. (In retrospective, there was a good reason Sipahi Hotel had rooms available when everyone else was full, as you''ll see below!) The location is not bad: the "hotel" (I place the word within quotes because this... More

Not a pleasant experience, dirty rooms, slack security, unhelpful staff, and truely filthy bathrooms. For the same price you can get much better hotels in the area, so don't choose this one!
