GLK Premier the Home Suites & Spa

Sultan Ahmed Mosque Istanbul|0.12km from Little Hagia Sophia
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 …
Mula Hotel

Mula Hotel

Sultan Ahmed Mosque Istanbul|0.26km from Little Hagia Sophia
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.

Ajwa Sultanahmet - a Member of Preferred Hotels & Resorts

Beyazit Istanbul|0.48km from Little Hagia Sophia
I had an amazing stay here on June 11 2023. Arrived and was greeted with friendly employees who was willing to assist me with my luggage and with a bright smile too! Met Omer from concierge and we spoke for a brief period of time with him explaining to me about the whereabouts in Istanbul. Also, Kubra showed me to my room and explained in detail about the room amenities. Before checking out, when I had my breakfast ( great selection) Kubra showed up, asked about my stay, whether everything was alright and my experience visiting Istanbul. She and the rest of the bellman team even send me off. So sweet of them! Room was cosy and I like the ambience of it. Location was great since it is near all the attractions. My stay was for two nights. If you want a hotel that is not too busy and crazy, i would suggest this hotel. Shoutout to Kubra and Omer! Hope to see the both of you when I am back in Istanbul!
Seven Hills Palace & Spa
4.3/5130 Reviews

Seven Hills Palace & Spa

Sultan Ahmed Mosque Istanbul|0.54km from Little Hagia Sophia
Seven Hills Palace & Spa is a wonderful hotel! The service is personal and attentive, and the facilities are very beautiful. We booked a Deluxe Sea View room overlooking the Bosphorous and the outdoor pool on the ground floor, which was very nice. They also have a sauna and steam room available to guests at no charge for 30 minutes each day. Do remember to pre-book. The restaurant on the property is called Vitale and you will not get a better meal in Istanbul! The breakfast is also expansive and includes traditional Turkish breakfast dishes. The only reason I am giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that I feel the hotel is a bit over-priced for the accommodations. Our room was quite small and I had hoped for a balcony after paying a lot more for a Deluxe Sea View room. We stayed at another hotel in Istanbul that was half the price with same level of service and arguably better facilities, and also closer to the attractions in Sultanahmet. Again, I cannot fault Seven Hills for anything during our stay, but the price is very high considering the facilities.
Hagia Sofia Mansions Istanbul, Curio Collection by Hilton

Hagia Sofia Mansions Istanbul, Curio Collection by Hilton

Sultan Ahmed Mosque Istanbul|0.72km from Little Hagia Sophia
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.

GLK PREMIER Regency Suites & Spa

Sultan Ahmed Mosque Istanbul|0.73km from Little Hagia Sophia
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

Fors Hotel

Beyazit Istanbul|0.43km from Little Hagia Sophia
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.

I have stayed in this hotel for ten days, and the location is really great! I can see the Sea of Marmara while lying on the bed. Listening to the calls of seagulls and crows, the admiration from the mosque downstairs is the most pleasant time I feel. The rooms are extremely clean and tidy, the service is in place, the owner is enthusiastic and patient, and the location is excellent!

Sultanahmet Inn Hotel

Sultan Ahmed Mosque Istanbul|0.1km from Little Hagia Sophia
Good location, five minutes walk to the mosque. Hygiene is OK, basically clean, but both the ground and the bedside table have long hair. Breakfast is relatively simple, but it is quite mouthful. There is no parking lot and it is a very small hotel. Double rooms can not be used for extra beds, you need to choose a triple room. I finally know that Istanbul is full of gold. The bathroom in the double room is very small. The hotel does not allow laundry, everyone should pay attention to it.

Sultan Ahmed Mosque
Initially, I prefer small boutique hotels over large ones with international standards, it helps to immerse yourself in the local culture. Basileus hotel fully describes this type of place - vintage style decor make you feel like you are at grandma’s🤍 Btw, the hotel really surprised me with its low price for all amenities they provide! We’ve stayed for four nights,- cleaning was done every day, water was supplied free of charge. There is no elevator, but the kind receptionist helped us with our bags- many thanks to him🙏🏻 As for its location - it’s only in 10 mins from Hagia Sofia and other sightseeings; plenty of cozy restaurants and bars nearby.

The staff, the manager, the helper, the cleaning lady and the cook are so kind and nice and helpful beyond imagination. The free buffet is super yummy. ONE OF THE BEST HOTELS ever

Sultan Ahmed Mosque
A small family boutique hotel with traditional style. The first impression was great, the receptionist definitely tried to help with everything. The room is cozy, not all new but doesn’t matter. Small details and nice gestures, like the owner making me a cup of coffee to share after checking out, made my experience even better. Feels like home after only a few days! The location is great for all the attractions, 7mins walk from Agia Sofia. Breakfast is simple, not too much variety but in the hotel next door.
