We stayed in this hotel for our first trip to Istanbul in April 2009. Its location was absolutely excellent - right behind the Blue Mosque (yes you could hear the Muezzins call very distinctly but we felt this added to our experience) and we walked to all the major 'attractions' Topkapi, Sultanahmet Square, Hagia Sophia, local Turkish Bath Haman -... more

It has an excellent location, write behind the Blue Mosque, with fantastic views, especially from our penthouse deluxe room (309), on the Marmara Sea and the Bosphorous. Excellent bed, linen. Very good service. A minus on heating (it was winter and the heating was only through air conditioning, which went either very hot, or at all). Breakfast poor, low quality... more

I selected the Sultanahmet Palace for a four night stay after reading about it on Frommers' online guide. I've found this a reliable source in the past and it didn't fail me on this occasion. I did question my selection in the days leading up to my stay because of some of the things I read on Trip Advisor but... more

The Sultanahmet Palace is located in the heart of the tourist district of Istanbul, very close to the Blue Mosque. The location is convenient to most major site-seeing attractions. We stayed at this hotel three years ago, were pleased with the location, and satisfied enough with the hotel to try it again on our May 2008 visit to Istanbul. When... more

Note - my wife and I got a great deal online for one of the suites during off season (New Years day). Excellent location, fabulous view (We were looking at the Blue Mosque out our window), room size - middlish considering it was a suite. Breakfast buffet was fabulous. Never ate any other meal there. (turkish food is great). I... more

This fine hotel is absoutly one of the most charming boutique hotels in all of Istanbul. All of the furnishings and bed clothes were in excellent and updated condition contrary to previous reviews. I found the cleanliness and upkeep exceeded standards in smilar properties in Europe and America. I stayed for four nights in room 202, It was quite a... more

this was a truely turkish delight experience. i am so grateful to the taxi driver who pointed me to this hotel . i have enjoyed everything about it, especially the hamam bath. it was spotlessly clean, beautifly decorated and most importantly the staff were very useful friendly and professional without wanting to gain anything !!! the front garden was heavenly.... more

Always difficult to find a simple, cheap, nice hotel in Istanbul and I have been there many times. I found this one by accident just about 100 yards up from the Cistern as you follow the tram lines. Right opposite the Blue Mosque. It is very clean and used mainly by Turks from what I could see, which is a... more

You come to this hotel for the location and pleasant gardens where you can relax after sightseeing and shopping until you drop! We also found the bathrooms ridiculously small and in general the hotel rooms are poorly soundproofed. The restaurant offers very well presented and good value dinners. Much better than breakfast! The deluxe rooms are worth the extra especially... more
