The interior is decorated in traditional Turkish style. The breakfast was outstanding and delicious (something for everyone..please don’t expect breakfast sausages and bacon like some people are use to in the USA!!!) this is a wonderful breakfast with three types of eggs and other great Turkish additions:))), the dinning room was very cozy. The location is amazing! Great for exploring and if you get tired you can come back and have a nap:)) I can’t wait to come back and stay longer!
United States of AmericaHotel Empress Zoe is in the perfect location in the historic Sultanahmet District. The staff was delightful and extremely helpful. Our two bedroom suite also included a lovely sitting room and kitchenette and two balconies overlooking the Bosphorus Straits on one side and the Blue Mosque on the other. We can't wait to return to Istanbul and the Empress Zoe!
United States of AmericaLovely hotel in an excellent location. Our room for four had a little kitchenette. Breakfast was excellent - a lot of variety and all tasty served in a little breakfast room with a fire and two cats. The hotel is just around the corner from Aya Sofía and many restaurants. Staff was helpful.
CanadaIt’s a very beautiful hotel with amazing staff, nicely designed and very comfortable rooms with such a nice furniture! Good breakfast. Very friendly staff and the cats (who joined us for breakfast and that made us so happy). It has been our second time in this hotel and we will definitely return again.
United States of AmericaI loved the location as it is close to the "must see" while in Istanbul, yet it was very quiet at night. The style of the guesthouse is tastefully done with the garden being an extra bonus. The staff was caring, present, and friendly from the lady who served breakfast to the man who took my bags and the office people, not forgetting Sophie the cat who kept a close eye on the entire place.
United States of AmericaSuperb hotel! It's located very close to Ayasofya so you can visit most place by feet. Stuff is very nice as well as the cats in restaurants, there is a terrace on the top and the view is pretty good.
United States of AmericaOne of a kind boutique hotel with a lovely garden where a good breakfast was served. The location if perfect; a short walk to the Blue Mosque and Ayasofia.
United States of AmericaLoved the local character of the hotel, the friendly and helpful staff and the views from our room. It was a quick stopover between flights and so the location was perfect for us to just wander.
United States of AmericaWe love everything in the hotel. We love our beautiful and tasty breakfast. The room itself was big and light. You feel so comfortable and cozy.
United Arab EmiratesBreakfast was fabulous! So many choices and authentic Turkish cuisine.
