"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."
"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."
"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!"

"Adjacent to Sophia Hagia and Blue Mosques allows an early start to visit them when quiet in the morning.
Perfectly located for other attractions and public transport by tram. "

Breakfast is perfectly Turkish simple, basic and delicious. The whole boutique hotel is decorated with antiques. Thank you Rafa for everything!!!"

"Great location, clean rooms, friendly staff. Perfect stay near all major sites in Istanbul."
"It’s always a pleasure being in Sultanhan Hotel.
The luxurious amenities, exemplary services, and prime location are what this hotel makes it special.
Overall outstanding experience, especially with their friendly staff."
"People in the hotel, including front desk receptionists, house keepers and its restaurant waiters, are all friendly, nice and accessible. We checked out at 3 am and surprised to find the receptionist and concierge were there. The concierge even accompanied us to the Uber taxi that we reserved earlier. We felt we were protected. "

10/10 Excellent
"Couldn’t have hoped for a better location: Literally between the Theodossian Wall and the Hagia Sofia. Had a view of both from our room and from breakfast every morning.
The Hurrem Sultan Mansion was an incredible surprise. Booked it due to large square footage for the price and the need to accommodate my family. Turned out to be a standalone house on three floors WITH its own kitchen and massage studio. Top floor bathroom is set up for private Hamam.
A bit compartmentalized for the square footage, but the separate rooms and nooks turned out to be a Godsend for travel-weary family.
Concierge service very helpful in getting reservations with reputable tour providers. Breakfast buffet options top notch. Dinner menu / on-site restaurant was nice given the multitude of options out on the street.
Highly recommended."
"My stay at GLK premium Acropol suite and spa was exceptional the hotel is located in an amazing area in Sultanahmet where you can enjoy exploring within minutes from the hotel it was very clean and nice I really enjoyed my stay there for one week couldn’t complain about anything and the best for last! The staff were extremely nice very sweet and they are all very welcoming and well spoken and respectful very recommended "
