"Stayed in December
Staff are excellent and lean over backwards to help.
Accommodation I was everything required and was qyiet even though it’s a busy location with lots of good bars and restaurants to choose from.
Location is fantastic for all the big tourist sites, no more than 15 minutes even for pier for Bosporus cruises or the Topkapi palace.
Would be my first choice when I return to Istanbul."
"The hotel was really nice, clean and almost brand-new. The most comfiest beds, best staff members, very nice environment with cats, and a delicious breakfast by Melahat.
Mert took care of any need and so did Ahmet & Eren, no matter what time of the day or night it was. Go to this hotel, it is SOO worth it."
"Great hotel and staff!
The room has a great location, with 10% discount at the restaurant and free bottles of water, tea, coffee and baclava is definitely a plus on the staying.
Totally recommend!"

Sultanhan Hotel - Special Class
10/10 Excellent
"Perfect location, lovely rooms and very friendly and helpful staff. "
"Enjoyable stay and very convenient to many of the main attractions. Shopping and many eateries nearby.
Arrived to a room which overlooked a building site so was offered a couple of choices for a room change which was very comfortable. Breakfast was very pleasant especially as there’s the option to sit outside on the restaurant terrace with sea views.
Hope to return soon."

"This hotel is very close to everything to visit the mesquites and chopping around allot of restaurants around and the breakfast menu is very good I recommend 100%"
"Sura Hagia Sophia Hotel is simply superb for an Istanbul getaway. Its location is unbeatable, literally steps from the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, with countless restaurants nearby. We easily walked to all major sites – highly recommended!
The pool and spa are fantastic for unwinding. While breakfast was just "okay," the rooms were great, offering stunning views of both the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia.
For comfort, convenience, and those incredible views, this hotel is a top choice in Sultanahmet."
