If somebody asks me, which is my favorite hotel in Istanbul, I will answer without a moment's hesitation – this is the Sapphire Hotel. It offers not only convenient location, right in the historical center of the city, but also the best services combined with the best price. And these are not mere words, but facts within my own experience.... More

For the price, this hotel was excellent. The location was perfect for exploring Old Town. Every morning they had an incredible, huge breakfast buffet, perfect for starting the day.

The hotel staff were very welcoming and obviously wanted guests to enjoy the hotel and the city. They were responsive by email in advance of our arrival in arranging transportation from... More

Hotel Sapphire has a real Turkish feel to it and we were really impressed with the style and quality of the room decorations. Think gold cornices, inlaid timbers doors and dresser.
