I wanted a small hotel in a good location, close to attractions, and naturally, at a reasonable price. The Hippodrome had everything I wanted. I chose a less expensive room, without much of a view, because I was never in my room, and there is an awesome view from the restaurant at the Obelisk where enormous breakfasts are served. As...

Amazing location! 5min walk to Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. Very friendly and helpful staff. Room on small side with limited storage and somewhat eccentric plumbing. Very clean indeed and would be happy to come back. Breakfast was just across the street on rooftop terrace (fantastic view of Bosphorus) and very pleasant. More

We stayed at the Hippodrome for a week in November, 2011. The location is perfectly situated in the historic area and close to the major sites. We didn't stay in the main hotel, but had 3 rooms across the street at the Apt. The rooms were just fine, although the wifi was down the last 2 days. The staff at... More

My husband and I stayed at the Hippodrome Hotel for 2 nights prior to a cruise. We were in the room shown on the TripAdvisor page - very spacious, quiet, comfortable, and clean, with a modern bathroom and windows that overlooked the street scene below. The staff was extremely helpful and dedicated to making our visit easy and memorable. The... More

I stayed in a triple bedroom at the Hippodrome apart in the second half of september 2011, on the corner of akbayik and mimar mehmet aga streets (actually the room was a overlooking the corner on the first floor), and although the stairs didn't give any positive first impression, the room was much better than expected, very clean, and an...

Very convenient Sultanahmet location. I stayed for 4 or 5 nights and felt very much at home. They have two properties for Hippodrome. I stayed a couple of nights in the apartments and then moved to the main location a few doors down. Main difference seemed to be no AC in the apartments and slightly nicer decor in the main... More

This was our first time in Istanbul and we stayed for 4 nights at the Hippodrome Hotel with friends.We were not sure of the location, but found that it was close to the main attractions in Sultanahmet Area, all within walking distance. The staff(Caner,Sumer,Arzu) were very helpful and breakfast was more than adequate. More

The Hippodrome Hotel accommodated our needs perfectly. Our 1st impressions were very positive thanks to the friendly and helpful person at reception; Samir (Summer). Samir not only provided a very good “walk off the street” 1 night price but stored our large pieces of luggage while we spent 3 days on the Gallipoli Peninsular. On our return the luggage was...

We just spent a week exploring this amazing city and this hotel as home base was perfect! The staff was friendly, helpful and English speaking. My husband was wise enough to book a triple room, which gave us an extra twin bedroom to store our clothes and use as a dressing room. This is a must have, as the main... More
