The hotel is in the Fatih district, across from Şehzadebaşı Mosque; despite the 'Sultanahmet' in its name, it is about 1.5-2 km from Sultanahmet Square, a 20-25 minute walk. The Grand Bazaar and Süleymaniye Mosque are about 500 m. Vezneciler metro station and the Laleli-İstanbul Ü. tram stop are within walking distance, making Taksim, airport connections and the rest of the city easy to reach with a transfer.

The stay

Editor's notes

Breakfast & dining

Breakfast is an open buffet; guest reviews generally find the variety positive. The rooftop restaurant with Istanbul views serves Turkish and European cuisine, and the à la carte restaurant serves Russian and Turkish cuisine; there are also 3 bars and a café.

Noise & sound insulation

Sound insulation is one of the hotel's most criticized aspects: traffic in avenue-facing rooms, sounds from neighboring rooms and upper floors, and loud music in the common areas are frequently mentioned in reviews. Light sleepers should request an inner-facing room.

Extra fees & things to know

Massage, hammam scrub-foam and hairdresser services are paid. Airport transfer is offered for a fee. Minibar is extra. Some reviews report that cash payment was requested for services such as laundry; clarify payment terms in advance.
