Top Sultanahmet Hotel Reviews

Carina Gold Hotel and Restaurant

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was amazing, ready to help whenever needed. Breakfast was a great variety… and rooms were very clean and well maintained. It’s a very central location and close to Metro."

Seven Hills Palace & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Room was excellent and a great size. Location fantastic with the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia Mosque, Grand Bazaar and Topkapi palace all within easy walking distance. We arrived slightly late and taken to a restaurant nearby for some food by a very helpful porter. Breakfast options were very good with lots to choose from! We would love to return !!"

Four - G Hotel Premium

10/10 Excellent

"We had the most amazing 4 nights stay. We were on the 6th floor with incredible views. The room was modern and the hotel staff were all extremely friendly. Breakfast was delicious. The location you can beat as it was very close to all the major attractions. I would definitely recommend this hotel."

Hotel Arcadia Blue Istanbul

8/10 Good

"We stayed at this hotel in 2023 and had a much better experience than this time. During our recent 10-night stay, the overall cleanliness was disappointing. The floors were dirty and were not cleaned even once during our stay, and the rooms had noticeable stains. A lot seems to have changed since 2023, unfortunately not for the better. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful, which we appreciated. However, the breakfast buffet manager was quite rude—not directly to us, but we overheard him speaking harshly, saying he “only has two hands” and showing attitude toward guests. The location is great, which is a big plus. Still, due to the cleanliness issues and overall decline in service, we would not choose to stay here again."

Sura Hagia Sophia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in late January earlier this year and the hotel was just perfect. Located close to all the major sites, everything was in walking distance including a plethora of restaurants. The hotel itself was welcoming with complimentary treats in the room which was a pleasant surprise and overall staff were helpful. Breakfast was brilliant, offering a wide selection and staff were attentive including Rehmatullah who took his time every morning to check in with us, absolutely lovely gentleman. Can't fault our stay and am looking to book my second stay with them!"
