About this place Hotel Sultanahmet

Hotel Sultanahmet is a mainstream hotel on Divan Yolu, the main street of Istanbul's old city, where the tram runs. Google rates it 3.9 from about 350 reviews. The location is the selling point: Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and the Grand Bazaar are all within walking distance. The trade-off is tram and street noise, and an area that goes quiet at night. Istanbul's gay bars are across the Golden Horn around Beyoğlu and Cihangir, a short tram and funicular ride away. Pride marches have been banned since 2015, so stay discreet in public.

I can tell you this hotel is the worst hotel in my life. I've never stayed the hotel like that. I made a booking because of the lovely view. But when I open the windows in my room, I can see only wall. And the toilet is the worst. They even didnt check the toilet when they offer the room for my family. We have to endure these situation for a day. The hotel is old and doesn't have a lift. If you want to see a view, I want to recommend you roof top restaurant or other hotel not here.

I stayed in October-November 2025. It is located in the most prestigious place in the center. Price 70€ The rooms are a bit small. Averagely renovated. The terrace has a view of Sultanahmet. Breakfast is normal. The reception and staff are friendly. The view of Sultanahmet from the rooms with windows on the 3rd floor is more magnificent

The location is fantastic. Very close to everything. The room was warm and cozy. The radiators were like fire. The Wi-Fi was very fast. My favorite thing about this hotel is the terrace. It has a wonderful, amazing view, and you have breakfast on the terrace. The room is only needed for sleeping and showering, but the terrace view is unforgettable. Also, the hotel was very close to the tram stop. The staff were very helpful.
