It was a bed, and located close to the main attractions, and the hot water cylinder was good for drying washing. This hotel is grossly overpriced!! My room was a tiny garret,in a building detached from the main office. Where breakfast was I never found out and I never saw a staff member the length of my stay except when I checked out. The room was not serviced on the second day and the tiny toilet roll had run out. Fortunately the door to the stores was broken off (possibly by another irate guest??) and I was able to help myself. The hotel offers aiorport transfers at twice the price of whatyoucan get on line. Also they demanded payment at the the start of your stay, in cash, in Euros or Pounds, and want to charge an extra seven percent if you pay by visa. Avoid.

The neighbourhood was very interesting - small local shops, not too touristy. The website was extremely misleading. The size of the suites was far smaller than stated, and far less equipped than stated. We were disappointed when we arrived, and felt as if the hotel had promoted itself far beyond what it really is. More honesty on the website would be preferable, regarding both facilities and room size!

Sultanahmet suites are very suitable for people, who like home style residence by travels. We had a refrigerator, electric kettle, electric cooker with 2 plates, microwave, dishes and pots. Near to the suits there was a big supermarket so that we could by cheap all things we needed for cook. I generally was satisfied about reserving a suite by Sultanahmet. The bathroom and wc were very small. The mentioned standard suite was describd as a 50 square meters, but it was definitively less than this maybe 35 meters or in the best case 40 sqm.

Good location, main sites in walking distance. The beds were comfortable. Nice little shops and kebab places around the hotel. Kids playing ground 50 metres from entrance. Nice and helpful staff. They have 4 locations, I stayed in their Gold building, so it may be different in other locations. The water is heated with gas, and for some reason the temperature is changing from ice cold to very hot -- hard to take shower and wash kids. There is a minaret across the street and each morning at 5 you hear VERY LOUD call to prayer. The kitchen equipment is very limited, though the manager took some extra plates after request. The street to reach hotel is very narrow, pay extra attention to cars, as you have to manage to move somehow to move between the traffic and street vendors.

Suites size were good for my family and were well organized and clean. They were not fair with me when I changed my travelling plan from 5th Nov. To 1st Nov, they gave me small suties first and then they gave me large suites. And they charged me the same price for both suites.

We arrived at the address given to find out it was office address. We were then told to go to the actual place where we were staying thru some really dirty alley! The walk was discouraging in the sense that wen thought we booked a horrible place, however the actual apartment was nicely furnished and v clean. It was close to Blue Mosque. Overall OK with a B +

The location of the appartment was great, only a 5min walk from Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia, also the Grand Basar could be reached by foot. The appartment self was nicely equipped with all needed stuff in the kitchen and overall very clean. I would definitely choose this appartment again when traveling with more than 2 people. When staying with Sultanahmet you need to know they have 3 houses, on my booking was the wrong address and I arrived after midnight, so I was standing in front of one house while nobody was opening. After calling the reception somebody came and picked us up to the correct house. Also for taxi drivers it is not as easy to find but worked out somehow.

Sultanahmet Suites comprise of 4 different properties in Sultanahmet province of old Istanbul. The first few days we stayed near Kadirga Park, the location was great for kids and shoppers, though the rooms were a bit small. Later we were moved to a different property due to plumbing works in the building, the staff took care of moving all our luggages to the new place. It was very spacious, located in a very quiet neightbourhood away from alley traffic. Both places were nice, and were fully equiped with cookingware. The staff was very friendly and cooperative. Would stay there again. I'd recommend this for all families looking for comfort and value for price. The shower drains needed some flushing - I bought a bottle of acid jel and poured it in, solved the problem. Didn't wanna contact the admin for this. Also, some items were not available but were given upon request such as clothes iron, extra bed sheets, pillows & blankets, and there wasn't any washing machines as advertised. Our terrace was good for smoking, but was blocked by neighbouring buildings.

We stayed in the Standard Suite at the Gold Building. The suite is fabulous, it was very neat, very well-maintained, spacious, clean and comfortable. Flat-wise, it was excellent for us! I probably have to say that it actually looked better than the pictures! The service was relatively good, they even did some helpful favors for us, and Mehmet, one of the guys at the Reception is our favorite, he is basically very responsive and nice. Would recommend this! We expect a location that is a little closer to the main attractions of Sultan Ahmet (such as to Blue Mosque or Aya Sophia). Well, it is not far, a 10-15 minutes walking distance. But for lazy feet like me, I do expect a closer location for me to go and back, especially to save time. But this is totally not a problem if u enjoy more walk in the neighborhood. Other than location-wise, I would expect a more friendly price. But overally, this is a good apartment/hotel, especially if you're looking for a decent room :)

The room was fantastic and the service excellent. Cannot ask for more. It should be mentioned that this is a "diffuse" hotel, and rooms are spreaded over several locations. My location was very fine, but due to being in the middle of the city also noisy. For me was ok since i want to visit the city, but not the best for who wants to sleep up to midday.

It was located in a genuine Turkish neighborhood where you would see more locals than tourists, while still being very close to all the tourist spots. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. The apartments were very clean, nicely decorated, and functional if you wanted to store food or cook at home. Very good value for the money. I really enjoyed my stay!!! Because the apartments are in a bit of an "off the beaten path", you do need to navigate some very narrow streets with a lot of traffic on them every morning to access the major sites of interest.

The Staff of Sultanahmet Suites were very friendly, the location of the hotel is very convenient for the Sultanahmet region, room was small but well kept and clean. We had booked a double bedroom and were initially given a two single bedroom. Obviously we requested the change which was taken care of immediately.

What a great place! We would definitely stay there again. We were stuck in a pokey room without a window at first but later moved to a great two room suite. Sound insulation between the floors is poor which means you are better off being on a top floor.

One very friendly receptionist, giving good tips for a succesfull evening in the downtown. People which are very friendly (sometimes excessively) and willing to help if see you unsure. Rooms are spacious for 4 persons, dormitory bed has a fabulous matress, I slept like a child. Very hard to find the adress of the hotel at arrival, even for a taxidriver was difficult to find it. The soroundings are quite insalubrious.

This was a very nice place for us to stay while visiting Istanbul. We stayed in room 27, a clean and comfortable one-bedroom apartment nicely updated with a décor keeping with an Asia Minor theme. If you want to “experience” Istanbul this is the place. It’s in a great old section of the city with very narrow streets, lots of interesting shops, teahouses and a park right across the street to sit and blend in with the locals. Just about everything is in walking distance, historic and tourist sites along with authentic bakeries and restaurants. The management took good care of us and was very helpful with directions and recommendations. Wow, we loved this place and we’ll miss the locals and neighbors that befriended us. The rectangular toilet seat didn’t fit my behind so, I didn’t read in there.
