We've stayed at four or five different hotels in the Sultanahmet area of Istanbul over the years. We found this hotel to be very comfortable. We decided to go with the jacuzzi room with a sea view, as the price for that room was less than we had paid in a room slightly closer to the Blue Mosque with no... more

We stayed at Sumengen Hotel on the last leg of our trip around Turkey, and it was the perfect way to end our travels. From the moment we walked in, the beautiful decor and friendly service made us feel welcome. The staff there was extremely helpful, even with special requests, like letting us check in early. Our rooms were beautiful,... more

Istanbul's Sultanhmet area can be a crazy place in the summer, especially if you arent familiar with it. I recently visited the Sumengen hotel for the first time on 2 occasions in June. The first was a single night to have access to the airport. The hotel manager Ibrahim and his staff, particularly Serdat Bey, arrnaged everything for the airport... more

Couple stayed at the Sumengen for second honeymoon. The location is very central, two minutes from the Blue Mosque and five from Aya Sophia. We stayed in the Jacuzzi Room for a great rate after an extended haggling with manager over the internet. The hotel is immaculate, kind of a small 4 stars as far as room and facilities are... more

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights. Good Location. Big Room. Comfortable Bed. 4 stars standard. Value for money (85euro per night). We both loved the breakfast and the restaurant on the 5th floor. Excellent Choice! more

We have just returned from a trip to istanbul and we stayed in the Sumengen hotel and I have to say that the hotel, location and people could not have been better. As soon as we arrived we were greeted by a very smiley young man that insisted on carrying our suitcases, check in was a breeze and the very... more

Just had a super few days at Hotel Sumengen - right in the heart of Sultanahmet and with fantastic views of the Bosphorous River (lovely way to start the day with breakfast on the terrace overlooking the river). Rooms (two doubles) were very spacious and had really comfy beds (but we did upgraded to rooms on 6th floor so not... more

We had a great stay at this hotel. The family room had a sliding door that could close off the little ones while they slept and we could keep our lights on- rare for European hotels. Our bed was pretty hard (my husband called it a padded door) but we we slept well after all our sight seeing. The kids... more

Sumegen Hotel is located just behind the Blue Mosque so it's very easy to walk to the main cultural attractions (ie, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi palace, the Grand Bazaar, etc) and if walking isn't what you want to do, you can easily hop on the metro or get a cab. The hotel staff are very pleasant and friendly, and answer any... more
