Recital Hotel
So pleased with the hotel. Fantastic location: within 5 mins walk of all ‘attractions’ but also did not feel overly ‘touristy’. Located very close to lots of restaurants. Staff very helpful. Suggest you go for a room with a sea view. The 5th floor terrace bar is AMAZING. Better than all other views ...

Kare Hotel Sultanahmet
Decent hotel at a good price. Very helpful staff in all departments; e.g. Reception and Restaurant. Good location; walking distance to most points of interest and reasonable restaurants. Recommend Ozi Pizza (they do more than pizzas and pasta).
