Hagia Sofia Mansions Istanbul, Curio Collection by Hilton

Hagia Sofia Mansions Istanbul, Curio Collection by Hilton

Sultan Ahmed Mosque Istanbul|0.24km from The Blue Mosque
There are more pros than cons, but there are cons. The hotel is composed of a number of independent houses, located on a public street, i.e., to go from one room to another or to the reception/restaurant, you have to go out to the street and go into another building. It is not cozy at all. The hotel is located at a stone's throw from the Topkapi Palace, the Hagia Sofia Mosque, the Blue Mosque and the Water Cistern. You walk less than 3 minutes to get to any of them. On the other hand, amid Istanbul’s traffic, the worst I have ever seen in my life, the traffic near the hotel is the worst of the worst. Very easy to get to the places I mentioned, a nightmare to get in and out of an extremely bad location traffic wise to the generally very bad traffic elsewhere in town. Rooms are decorated in Turkish style, spacious and modern. All convenience you would expect from an hotel of this category are available. Were it not for the location, it would not have been the best choice in my opinion.

Sultan Ahmed Mosque Istanbul|0.28km from The Blue Mosque
Very central location, very close to Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque and Topkapi Palace. Very kind and helpful staff. When we arrived in our room the radiator broke and they changed our room to a more expensive one with a sea view at no extra charge. Although we didn't use it, the hotel also has a SPA. Highly recommended

Mula Hotel

Sultan Ahmed Mosque Istanbul|0.31km from The Blue Mosque
I recently had the pleasure of staying at Mula Hotel in Istanbul with my family, including two toddlers, and it was an experience I won’t soon forget. Nestled in the heart of the old Sultanahmet area, the location couldn’t be more ideal. It’s within walking distance of all the major attractions, offering a perfect blend of convenience and cultural immersion. The surrounding area is a food lover’s paradise, with an array of great restaurants offering local and international cuisine. Plus, the easy access to the tram makes exploring the city a breeze. The hotel itself is a gem. My room was not only beautifully appointed but also boasted a stunning sea view that added a special touch to our family stay. Waking up to the serene vista of the sea was truly a highlight. The hotel’s family-friendly atmosphere made our stay with toddlers smooth and enjoyable. However, what really sets Mula Hotel apart is its exceptional service. Every staff member I encountered was not just professional but genuinely warm and welcoming. Their constant smiles and readiness to assist at any hour truly made me feel valued and taken care of. From getting a bottle of water in the middle of the night to personal touches like waiters remembering my omelette preferences after just one day - every detail was noticed and appreciated. I must give special mentions to Ercan at the restaurant and Ilknur at the front desk. Their outstanding service and personal attention significantly enhanced my stay. Their professionalism and kindness reflect the hotel’s commitment to guest satisfaction. Coming from someone who travels significantly and has stayed in several fantastic properties across the world, I can confidently say that Mula is right up at the top, and a rarity among hotels. In conclusion, Mula Hotel is more than just a place to stay; it’s a destination that offers a memorable experience. Whether it’s the prime location, the beautiful rooms, the delicious food, or the unparalleled service, this hotel ticks all the boxes for an exceptional stay in Istanbul. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city, especially those traveling with family.

Sultan Ahmed Mosque Istanbul|0.31km from The Blue Mosque
Super super super great experience. A gem worth 5 points. The female duty manager handles the problem very well, and each employee knows the arrangement of each guest. The atmosphere of the hotel is not stingy. Adjusting the room was quick. Very polite and polite. When I was cheated on the price by the taxi driver, he came forward to help me coordinate in Turkish. The training of the Four Seasons Hotel is very good, and it deserves to be the first place in Turkey

Sultan Ahmed Mosque Istanbul|0.32km from The Blue Mosque
Absolutely great place to stay! The hotel is placed on the heart of the city, all main sightseeing’s in walking distance, a lot of restaurants around so it’s easy to find nice place for lunch or dinner or just for cup of Turkish tea. The hotel is not big, with very stylish local design and absolutely warm atmosphere inside: a lot of respect and care about the guests. The rooms are clean and have nice design, small balconies with street view or sea view on other side. In nice cafe on the first floor good breakfast are served. Especially would like to thank Kenan from reception for his hospitality, help in every question we had, stories and recommendations about the city. It was pleasant stay :) Thank you

Fors Hotel

Beyazit Istanbul|0.67km from The Blue Mosque
Key points, key points: His family can call you the nucleic acid test personnel to the room for nucleic acid test. You don't need to go to the airport and you don't need to go to the airport, which saves worry, money and time. I stayed at this hotel during the epidemic. I personally think that the location of this hotel is particularly good. It is safe and quiet. The key is that it is very close to the famous scenic spots, the Grand Bazaar, the Blue Mosque, and the Sophia Cathedral. There is no scenic spot to eat around. Expensive over there. Both the hotel staff and the people around are very friendly and welcoming. During my stay at the hotel, the staff provided warm and thoughtful service and helped me contact the vehicles to the airport. I took a taxi myself to 204 lire at his door), helped me print out the documents I needed, and called the nucleic acid test staff to the hotel for me to do the test. The key is that the price is the same as the airport, and I did not overcharge me. Breakfast is not an optional mode, but is made directly on the plate. Although it is a bit simple, it is full. As far as the price of the hotel is concerned, it is very affordable. Highly recommend this hotel, I hope you all have a pleasant journey and have fun.

Sultan Ahmed Mosque Istanbul|0.11km from The Blue Mosque
Hotel location is very good, very close to the Sofia Cathedral, the Blue Mosque. Do the airport bus ist20 line (16 lira per person), get off the big plaza of the Blue Mosque, walk 5, 6 minutes! Sitting on the rooftop just in time to enjoy the Blue Mosque (unfortunately has been repairing). The boss is very enthusiastic and will be enthusiastic about introducing fun places. The breakfast is quite rich: coffee, black tea, juice, boiled eggs, all kinds of nuts, fruits, bread... It is very comfortable for three days. If you want to visit the old town well, recommend it here.

Sultan Ahmed Mosque Istanbul|0.14km from The Blue Mosque
The location was excellent, directly across from the Blue Mosque. Our room was adequate in size, but the room itself and definitely the bathroom needs refreshing, as there were areas of chipped paint, etc. Had a little difficulty with working the AC. Towels were very thin and some were stained. The restaurant was almost always empty every time we went, for drinks, and also for dinner. Breakfast in the morning was served late every day, but was OK. Coffee was good.

Sultan Ahmed Mosque Istanbul|0.18km from The Blue Mosque
Obelisk Hotel was a fantastic choice. Starting with its awesome location, right beneath Sultanahmet Mosque, it is a must pick for those who want to avoid up and downhills and get a comfortable walk to the top turistic attractions. The hotel services were top. My family and I were super satisfied with the staff's friendly and professional approach, the hotel rooms and the food. Reception was so professional and helpful in any case we had an inquiry. The cleaning service was quite good, everyday cleaning entailed a comfortable stay indeed. We admired the quality of breakfast service and the range of food choice. Having breakfast in the half open space was so calming. Likewise, rooms were bright, comfy and user friendly; no issues whatsoever with shower or any other bathroom facilities. The neighborhood is quite good, both calm and safe. Highly recommended!
