Great hotel in the heart of Sultanahmet with super friendly staff

A lovely quiet, affordable place to stay close to the sites with a family vibe and a lift.

Pros: My room overlooked the Topkapi palace. On the other side of the hotel you can see Hagia Sophia a block away. The breakfast is incredible. The view on one side is Hagia Sophia, on the other is Topkapi palace, and on the other is the Bosphorus!! Mezze of several cheeses, dips, pickles, fresh veges and fruits, continental cereal, yogurt, juices, scrambled eggs, yummy feta pastries not sure what they are called. So so good.

Cons: hmm. nothing.

Historic Istanbul

Pros: A friendly and familiar welcome as always. Definitely my favourite hotel in Istanbul. Great views of Hagia Sofia from our window. Lovely breakfast and a very comfortable room.

Pros: Really lovely hotel in a great location in the old part of town, just beside topkapi, sofia etc. It is very clean, has a good buffet breakfast, and the people working are really nice and helpful. I would definitely return there and recommend it.

Amazing staff, location, and experience overall.

Pros: Amazing staff, incredibly helpful, friendly, dedicated, especially Ramazan. Excellent location, right next to main attractions and with a nice sea view. Nice room, clean and very well equipped. Good breakfast, same thing every day, but delicious.

Cons: It is described that the location has free parking, however there are only a few spots on the sidewalk in front of the hotel, and I received a fine for parking there(the fine is not big, it was probably still worth it considering the location, but still...)

Strait and Castle, a good old-fashioned hotel in Istanbul Old town

Pros: Best location of Sultanahmet district, ideal for visiting Topkapi, Ayasofia and Blue Mosque by foot. From our room, we enjoyed a view of Ayasofia all night! Classic yet warm family-running atmosphere. We were touched by hospitality of old Ramazan and his family in three-generation. Also we loved the view from top floor of breakfast terrace, which was just amazing, facing Bosphorus strait and glittering Asia side.

Cons: Just a taxi was a bit pricey, that we asked hotel to call when we left. It's a normal yellow cab and hotel's nothing to do with the taxi, though.
