Do not go here, total scam.

It was horrible. First no parking even though it says it has parking. We were charged extra for parking twice for 1 night lol. These people are straight liers and they argue to the end. Free breakfast wasn’t good but roof top is beautiful. Our air condition did not work and room was too small.

The room had so many issues, no working phones to contact room service, the bathroom had a small window that did not have a mosquito screen, and you can’t close it so we were fighting mosquitoes all night. And to top all this, the staff was so unprofessional in dealing or lack of with those problems.

Nothing unique. The whole area of the room, bathroom/ shower is too small, even for me, and I am a petite person. The first room had a leakage in the shower. We were transferred to the 2nd room which was the same size (very small) with no Iron and a cheap facility. Sorry, but I wouldn't recommend this place.

Lovely stay - highly recommend

We stayed here for 4 nights. The staff are lovely and welcoming, especially Mr. Faysal and Mr. Ramazan "Rambo", who took the time to have tea with us and make us feel welcome during our stay. Location is superb, 5 mins away from Hagia Sofia so great if you want to get there early to line up for tickets. We really enjoyed breakfast and the view from the breakfast area is nice - you either see Hagia Sofia or the strait. Highly recommend this hotel if you're considering where to stay in the Sultanahmet area. We would return here if we are in Istanbul again.

I absolutely loved my stay at Valide Sultan Konağı in Istanbul. It’s such a wonderful hotel with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The cleanliness stood out from the moment we arrived—everything was spotless and well-maintained. A huge thank you to Ramazan, who made our stay extra special. He went out of his way to arrange a thoughtful birthday gift for my son, which was such a kind and memorable gesture. Breakfast was another highlight, especially with Ramazan’s special eggs—cooked to perfection and a great way to start the day. The location couldn’t be better—just a 3-minute walk to Aya Sofya and situated right behind Topkapi Palace. It made exploring Istanbul so easy and convenient. With its amazing staff, perfect location, and welcoming atmosphere, I can’t recommend Valide Sultan Konağı enough. It’s the ideal place to stay in Istanbul!

Great Boutique hotel in Great Location

On arrival offered a room with a sea view but advised it was smaller than standard. It did offer a good view and although on the smallish side was good enough for our requirements. All the staff were really friendly and helpful offering good advice re where to eat and how to get around Istanbul. Breakfast was ok, not your typical “full enhlish” and was on the top floor with great views. Rambo who organised the breakfast, and made a large omelette on request, is a real character who really looked after the guests. Location was great as many of the places to visit are close by and only a short walk to a tram stop if going further afield. Would highly recommend.

The hotel is lovely and more traditional Turkish style and nice size rooms, they treat everyone like family. All the staff are warm and embracing, really helpful. Highly recommend this property for you stay, right next to Haigha Sofiya and Topkapi Palace. Arasta Bazaar is a short walk and Blue Mosque, everything is a short distance. I would definitely stay at this hotel on my next visit to Istanbul.
