    Cons -

    • Place looks old
    • We went away early (at 5am) and instead of breakfast received only packed croissants. That was said because for this day breakfast was included but because of the early hour we couldn’t be there. BUT ITS TOTALLY FINE

    Small but very cost hotel, good and tasty breakfast. You have a feeling that you are with family if you are staying more than for couple of nights. ITS SAFE PLACE because I read a lot of reviews that there hotels where ppl don’t feel safe - that is NOT place like this. Very polite management, super clean and new spacious room.

    Amazing hotel!! The staff is so friendly and the location is prime! Will stay every time I’m in Istanbul. No accommodation was too much for them. They took care of laundry, food, and transportation. they even allowed us to leave our luggage there for a few days while we traveled to a different city. they are great.

    Very clean, spacious, delicious breakfast

    No comments! I loved it all

    9KeelyPosted on: 10-28-2025

    The location was perfect for a two day tour. We walked everywhere. Very easy and felt safe in the area. The morning breakfast was delicious, no need to go out. The shuttle arranged by the hotel to and from the airport was seamless. The recommendations for everything from restaurants to tours was fabulous! The staff took care of all our issues with respect and dignity. With the exception of a lost laundry bag everything was perfect. Thank you ?

    10MikhailPosted on: 9-1-2025

    If you want to stay close to most of the city’s historical landmarks, spend your days exploring on foot, and just use the hotel for a good night’s sleep, this is a great option. Tram and metro lines run near the hotel, making it easy to reach almost any part of the city. The staff are polite and always ready to help. Breakfast is tasty, and the menu changes daily. The Wi-Fi is fast and works flawlessly.

    The only thing I could see from this window was the wall of the neighboring building, about 10 meters away.

    The Sultans Royal Hotel in Istanbul is located in the Old Town, making it easy to walk to the main sites. The hotel has air conditioning, a lift, and clean, comfortable rooms with adequate space for luggage.While staying in the Old Town is practical for sightseeing, there is a direct tram line to the European side, where hotels tend to be more modern and may offer facilities such as swimming pools, which would have been useful in the hot weather. This hotel does not have an outdoor seating area, though there are many nearby restaurants. Staff were helpful and attentive, and the hotel provided a suitable base for exploring the city.

    7EricPosted on: 5-8-2025

    The location was a very close walk to historic sights and overall good area to be in for close proximity to restaurants and cafe's. Everyone from reception at check in to breakfast staff was very accommodating. Reception helped with booking excursions and arranging transportation and overall very attentive.

    The property is cozy and could use an update or upgrades. There are closely properties that are updated and more beautiful (but did not show up on booking . com that were on google and less $$ and stunningly beautiful.

    We really enjoyed our stay at Sultans Royal Hotel. Staff was friendly and helpful. The transfer from the airport to the hotel and back was organized by the hotel. The location is ideal for visiting Istanbul; very central and close to the main attractions. With a public transport card, you can also take the tram nearby. Very easy.Breakfast was excellent, and Sonia did her utmost best to make you feel at home. She communicated with us via an app on her phone, which was funny.We can highly recommend this hotel!

    This is a small hotel right in the heart of Sulthanamet. It is in an old building but has been nicely renovated. It has a lift to the upper floors and vehicle access to the front door (THis is real bonus, in the older parts of Istanbul, last time we visited the taxi was unable to drop us at the door, so we had to manage our luggagealong uneven footpaths a fair way to the hotel!)The staff were all delightful and extremely helpful. The room was spotlessly clean and comfy. Good shower pressure. Breakfast was a delightful spread of a wide variety of hot and cold food, overseen by the lovely Sonia, who would make you anything you fancied.

    Not much desk space for a computer, but other than that the room was very comfy.

    9DiegoPosted on: 4-19-2025

    The hotel is very well located. Just 6 minutes walking to the blue mosque. The guys at the reception are very helpful as well as Sonya who was in charge of the breakfast. Very nice lady! She was unbelievably helpful, giving us many things to try: pastries, salads, sweets... Just perfect!

    The Bosporus cruise dinner that they recommended is a tourist trap. Very bad food, very very bad quality, and also super expensive (45 Euro per person). The salmon fish was a complete joke. Avoid a headache and instead take the public ferry to Kadiköy (just 30 lira per ticket) . A very nice romantic evening got spoiled by this very bad experience. (Check the pictures)The generator / ventilation engine was a bit loud during nighttime. We stayed in room 203 and sometimes the noise was too loud! We woke up once in the middle of the night! it goes on and off constantly.

    The property is dated and the carpets are stained and not clean. Although the hotel is clean and in a great location, for the value the hotel is not worth it

    10MaríaPosted on: 4-3-2025

    All the members of staff were very helpful at all times. Even before we arrived in Turkey, they organised our transfer from the airport very kindly and professionally. Mahmut, Muhammed and Rashid were very welcoming, polite and friendly. They also provided us with very useful and really interesting information about Istanbul and the Turkish culture. Moreover, breakfast was amazing every day. We want to thank Sonja for cooking the most wonderful food. She is such a lovely, kind and professional cook. She expertly and very quickly uses an app to communicate with the guests in any language. We also have to highlight the fact that she was very understanding and thoughtful with any medical dietary requirements guests may have. As I am celiac, she informed me about all the ingredients, and she made sure there were lots of gluten-free options. She even had gluten-free bread for me, which I really appreciated. She made us feel like at home, and every morning, we left the breakfast room with a smile! The bedroom was very clean, spacious, and quiet. The location was ideal. At the reception, they also lent us a public transport card, which we found very helpful to take the ferry. We (Roz from England and Maria from Spain) would highly recommend this extraordinary hotel.

    We loved everything and as I have explained, the staff members go above and beyond to help guests and make their stay in Istanbul truly special.

    10CrystalPosted on: 3-22-2025

    Hotel was extremely clean and comfortable. Very accessible location, only 5min away from Hagia Sophia and the rest of the main attractions. Best part of our stay was the cook from the hotel kitchen who was constantly looking out for us and gave us delicious pampushki. Would definitely stay here again!

    10BiagiPosted on: 3-16-2025

    I traveled with a friend, and we were both absolutely happy with the hotel's location and overall condition—it exceeded our expectations!Everything was exceptionally comfortable, and we truly enjoyed our stay. A huge appreciation to the incredible staff, who took outstanding care of us and made us feel genuinely welcome. Without us even asking, they generously upgraded our double room to a suite, arranged airport pickup and drop-off, recommended great local restaurants, a Bosphorus cruise, and a traditional hammam experience, and efficiently handled all the logistics.Also the breakfast was delicious, offering a diverse selection of local dishes. A special mention goes to the Russian chef, who delighted us daily with new flavors to try.A particularly convenient perk: the reception also sells local SIM cards at very reasonable prices.

    Nothing, was all very good really. If I travel again to Istanbul, I'll stay here again
