Mula Hotel

Sultan Ahmed Mosque Istanbul|0.06km from Bukoleon Palace
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|0.2km from Bukoleon Palace
We stayed at the glk home suites for 5 days. The location is close to everything just the hill to walk up to the main blue mosque square was a killer but well worth it. THE MAIN GUY AT RECEPTIONIST IS THE BEST ! I don’t even know his name but so helpful and honestly the best I’ve ever meet to help with everything. The breakfast is ok I won’t say it’s a 5 star hotel breakfast though it was the same things everyday (no fried eggs) only scrambled or boiled no cucumber so I won’t rate the breakfast highly but it’s ok to keep you going. Our room was small not to big but we was still ok with it the bath is not exactly big so if your skinny and short perfect tall and big built your legs will hang out on top :) CLEANERS EVERYDAY EVEN SUNDAY they did a fantastic job thank you.. the main thing is anything you buy in the hotel you pay more for including Turkish coffee came to about 45tl each 3 euros when outside just on the corner of the hotel you could have it for 25tl that was the only downside it’s very expensive inside the hotel. All together we had a great time there was some negative parts like breakfast been same things missing. Bath been very small rooms small a bit but other then that it was a great stay.. I don’t think I’ll ever stay there again because of that hill walk to go up was very steep if you have a pushchair or wheel chair it is very hard. The hotel offers pcr test for 200tl each person you could have it done around the corner for 119tl per person. One more positive note I ordered things online which was delivered to the hotel they always collected it for me not every hotel will except this thank you. We enjoyed our stay thank you GLK especially main guy at reception if we do ever come up it will be because of your great hospitality thank you guys …

Sultan Ahmed Mosque Istanbul|0.07km from Bukoleon Palace
We’d originally booked this hotel pre pandemic and when the trip was cancelled we were told that we could rebook and only pay the seasonal difference. Fetullah was brilliant in responding to my emails and rebooking with the discount applied plus an extra room for our children We stayed here for 4 nights and everything from the service, location and the staff especially were superb. We arrived at 1.30am, everyone was hungry and Saleh who was working at the time arranged for a fresh meal to be cooked which was greatly appreciated 😊 Rooms were a very good size, housekeeping came every day and staff were very attentive and extremely helpful We had an early morning flight back to the uk and somehow my daughter left her iPad in the room. We didn’t notice until we were on the plane. I called the hotel, they hadn’t been in the room yet but quickly checked and thankfully the iPad was there. Again Fetullah to the rescue!! Assured me that it was safe and once we got back to the UK they’d make arrangements to have it shipped over to us As it happened a friend of a friend was in Istanbul at the time and kindly picked it up from the hotel to bring back. Throughout the stressful days of trying to arrange shipping the staff were so helpful and responsive to my messages I would most definitely recommend this hotel (even without the iPad incident!!) as I could find no fault, location is definitely spot on, under 10 minutes walk to Blue mosque in one direction and under 10 minutes to sea front in the other direction. Lots of little cafes and shops nearby but also nice and quiet. Staff were just brilliant I’d like to say a massive thank you to all the staff especially Fetullah who is just nicest and most helpful person Thank you 😊

Artefes Hotel Old City

Sultan Ahmed Mosque Istanbul|0.08km from Bukoleon Palace
I wholeheartedly believe that you would solely regret you decision to visit this hotel which you hopefully do not chose as did I. Initially, I was greeted with no Wi-Fi which was a reoccurring issue throughout my stay and a situation which has been very strange to me in all my years of traveling across the globe (mostly Pakistan) and one which I have never thought I would ever see to be so prominent in this extremely technology advanced day and age. Soon after I decided to freshen up, however much to my dismay the overhead shower was not operable and I was forced to use an extremely miniature shower head which looked much better as a bidet/lota. In addition to these problems me a regular human trying to enjoy my holiday realised that as described the hotel had neither ironing facilities nor the fitness suite they claimed to provide which was apparently closed due to covid 19 which seems to have disappeared in the UK (and around the world) since the very peculiar work events (parties) of Boris Johnson who has also disappeared. But this is not the case in this particular hotel. Lastly, the washing facilities were terrible and my laundry came back with a very bizarre smell which leaves me bewildered as I never apprehended this to be possible in the case of a laundry that had just been ‘washed’. To conclude I as you ancestor in this situation and trip advisor am advising you to not ever stay at this hotel even as the last resort in the entire of Istanbul. You’d much rather buy at tent and follow in Ottoman tradition.

Sur Hotel Sultanahmet
3.7/541 Reviews
Sultan Ahmed Mosque
We booked a room at the Sur Hotel. When we arrived, the administrator told us that there were no rooms and took us to another hotel, just as tiny. The next day we were told to check out of this hotel (before lunch) We thought we would check into Sur. But that was not the case: we were told that they would check into another hotel, but later, after lunch. As a result, we did not spend a single day at Sure. We only came there for breakfast. As already written, breakfast is the same every day, modest, but quite nutritious, on the top floor, on a glass terrace, overlooking the Sea of ​​Marmara. The staff is helpful and friendly. In general, we were satisfied with everything.
La Vista Hotel
3.4/53 Reviews
Sultan Ahmed Mosque
We stayed 5 nights in this hotel. The location of the hotel is very good! The museums are within walking distance of the Grand Bazaar, tram and other touristic areas. The rooms were clean, comfortable and the breakfast was very good. Staff are also very helpful and friendly. We will definitely prefer the fos hermanos family on our next visit. See you again 👋
