The building is run-down, and the pictures are not representative of the actual property. Our room, despite being one of the suites, was near the elevator, which makes a jet engine noise day and night. The balcony had broken furniture, dying plants, and was covered in bird droppings. To access the "spa" area, you have to cross a dark laundry area, which is rather disconcerting. Considering the price of the room, this was a tremendous disappointment. The only positive point was the very friendly and helpful staff.

Highly recommended. The hotel is in a tree lined street and feels very safe even at night. They gave us a free room upgrade facing the street. The staff are very friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Free breakfast at the rooftop restaurant gives a clear view of the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia, and Bosphorus Strait!!' Excellent location with major sights and tram stations within 5-10min walk. Alot of dining options nearby. Ross Kebab House next door has delicious local food and gives free baklava and tea. Sur Doner Shawarma along the main road has delicious beef doner for $7.

Our family of seven stayed at Sultanhan Hotel and had an amazing experience. The location is unbeatable, just a short walk to Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and Topkapi Palace, yet the hotel feels quiet and relaxing. The rooms were clean, spacious, and very comfortable, and the rooftop terrace with its city views made breakfast each morning unforgettable. The staff went above and beyond to help with taxis, recommendations, and making sure our older parents were comfortable. If you are visiting Istanbul, this hotel is the perfect mix of convenience, comfort, and warm hospitality. We would definitely stay here again.

We stayed at the Sultanhan Hotel for 6 days to celebrate my sister’s 40th birthday, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. The hotel itself is beautiful — the decor is elegant and full of character, giving it a real sense of charm and comfort. Check-in was quick and easy, and the reception staff were fantastic — attentive and welcoming at all hours, both day and night. The food was very good, and the overall hospitality throughout our stay made us feel right at home. The location is ideal: just a 6-minute walk to the Blue Mosque, but still away from the crowds to feel calm and relaxing. A wonderful hotel in every way. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it for anyone visiting Istanbul!
