Mula Hotel
4.6/545 Reviews

Mula Hotel

Sultan Ahmed Mosque Istanbul|0.28km from Sultanahmet District
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.
Hagia Sofia Mansions Istanbul, Curio Collection by Hilton
4.6/554 Reviews

Hagia Sofia Mansions Istanbul, Curio Collection by Hilton

Sultan Ahmed Mosque Istanbul|0.29km from Sultanahmet District
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|0.34km from Sultanahmet District
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
Sura Hagia Sophia Hotel

Sura Hagia Sophia Hotel

Sultan Ahmed Mosque Istanbul|0.38km from Sultanahmet District
The hotel location and accessibility to the old town are enormous. But the noise from the hallway is not soundproof at all. And the hotel staff didn't solve the request to call a taxi, so I waited for an hour and solved the transportation by myself.
Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul at Sultanahmet

Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul at Sultanahmet

Sultan Ahmed Mosque Istanbul|0.38km from Sultanahmet District
The room is not big, but the location is super good. The hotel's garden is also very nice, and it's quite nice to take photos. Just 2 minutes after going out, turn right and you will see the Blue Mosque and Sophia Cathedral. There are two Egyptian monuments and a snake-headed staff on the square. The starting point of the sightseeing tour bus is right on the square. It is very convenient to get there. To exit the square, go left. Going out is Victory Street, which is very lively and has trams running through it, which is also very unique. Go down (right) on Victory Street and you will go to the Old Palace. If you look at the mosque on the left and Sophia Cathedral on the right, the Basilica Cistern is on the right side of the square. The entrance to the Basilica Cistern is where people are queuing across the road. We stayed for 5 nights and walked around every day. It was very atmospheric. In Muslim countries, prayers are held five times a day. When the loudspeaker sounds, it is most disturbing in the early morning. However, they seem to be very conscious, and the volume is slightly lower in the morning and the duration is shorter. The rest of the time, just enjoy listening to music when praying. Every time, there is a live broadcast of prayers in every mosque, playing a long tune as if singing, which is very exotic. Basically, you have to negotiate the price of a taxi, and Grab also negotiates the price. They all charge extortionate prices, so you must negotiate before getting in the car.

Fors Hotel

Fors Hotel

Beyazit Istanbul|0.6km from Sultanahmet District
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.

Hotel SultanHill

Sultan Ahmed Mosque Istanbul|0.06km from Sultanahmet District
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.

Sarnic Premier Hotel & Spa

Sultan Ahmed Mosque Istanbul|0.15km from Sultanahmet District
In the old town, a bit of a homestay meaning. No elevator, small rooms, old buildings, poor sound insulation. But the service is good and the breakfast is also rich. Very close to the Blue Mosque, it is very convenient to go to the airport bus stop. The price is very beautiful and worth recommending. Note: Ctrip's picture is completely unrelated to the hotel. Google Maps is not in the right position, on the other side of the corner.
Turkoman Hotel
4.1/513 Reviews

Turkoman Hotel

Sultan Ahmed Mosque Istanbul|0.16km from Sultanahmet District
The Hotel Turkoman really was the centre of our fantastic family holiday to Istanbul. Even before we arrived the correspondence was prompt and accomodating. We arrived way before check-in to find that our room was ready and we were even offered breakfast (8am-10:30am) which was very much appreciated after flying from Australia. Breakfast was a highlight of each day with a changing array of cakes, hot food, fruit, vegetables, cereal, breads and cheeses. The lady serving would also teach us Turkish words and customs while feeding the trained seagulls. We stayed in the Bergama family room with a queen sized bed, separated by a bathroom and two single beds. This worked well for our family of 4 although climbing the stairs is challenging after a long day exploring. The room boasted a big window which we left open at night for the breeze but the A/C in the main room did work well, a TV which we never turned on, a tiny mini-fridge to cool bottled water and an over bath shower with good supply of hot water. The downside to the room is that it’s a bit dated and there were things like the exhaust fan being noisy and some lights not working. Street noise is a bit of a problem if you’re a light sleeper, there are no blockout blinds and the flip-side to being ridiculously close to the Blue Mosque is that the Call to Prayer is really loud but by our 4th night I was sleeping through it. Other than the location and price, it’s the staff which make this hotel a great experience. They are helpful, welcoming and were tirelessly tidying and cleaning while we were there. Speaking of location this hotel is so close to a lot of attractions and the tram stop that we would come back during the day just for showers to cool off and rest before heading out again. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who can look past a few defects to stay right in the heart of Sultanahmet for a great price.

Sultan Ahmed Mosque
We stayed at the Spectra Hotel in Sultanahmet for four nights at the end of December 2021, right beside the obelisks and Hippodrome, and only a few minutes walk to the Blue Mosque, Metro and restaurants. It is a charming small hotel with comfortable, clean rooms, a small restaurant/ breakfast area/bar downstairs and a beautiful view of the blue mosque from the covered balcony upstairs. The atmosphere was cosy and the vibes were positive. Mr Mitten and the other staff were welcoming and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. We would certainly stay there again.
