Great hotel location in the old town. All popular places are nearby, within walking distance. Great breakfast. The hotel has a sauna and swimming pool, you can order a hammam. You can climb the roof with a good view of the city. Good service. You can leave bags for free after eviction.

I loved the Sapphire hotel! It was perfectly located near all the major tourist sites and surrounded by shops, cafes, restaurants, hamams, and anything else you could need. The hotel itself was spotless, the breakfast was fresh and amazing (and yes, the same thing is served every day but there are so much to choose from that you'd have to stay here a month to get bored with the choices), there are lifts (this was a big concern for me as I had a family member who needed it), and even the sauna and pool downstairs were a beautiful distraction from the cold and rainy days in Istanbul. I would say the staff was the best part of my experience at this hotel, everyone was so nice, cheery, and helpful- it sets a positive tone for your day to be greeted with a smile and kind words. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone.

Great location, great staff, they gave us a free breakfast because we came a little early for the chick in and we had to wait for the room to be ready.

Location is PERFECT for those who are travelling on their own. 1 stop away from Sultanahmet (the airport shuttle and other touristic places), 2 min from the tram station (Gulhane), 4 min from Marmaray metro station (which will take you almost everywhere in istanbul), and 5 min away from Eminönü (thus the ferries to Kadıköy, Adalar and other places). The staff is super friendly, budget is very good comparing to the quality.

Very friendly staff - they greeted us with refreshments upon arrival, the check in was smooth and fast, and they organized a return airport shuttle for us. We also got a little farewell gift which was a nice touch. The room was well equipped, the bathroom was newly renovated. Good breakfast. Fast wifi. Location is perfect - fast access to tram station, the ferries and lots of shops and restaurants within a short walk. Also, most tourist attractions in this area are within walking distance, 10-15 minutes away. Recommend this place if you are on a city break and need an affordable yet reliable hotel.

This was the 4th time I'd been to Istanbul and I had never (up until this experience) found a hotel that I would wish to repeat. The staff was exceptionally helpful and accommodating. The desk clerks also went above and beyond as they helped sort out a tour mix-up. A special thank you to Ovgur (sorry about the spelling) who carried our heavy bags needlessly numerous times, as well as brought me the phone while waiting in the lobby on several occasions during the said mix-up. The breakfast had a vast number of options with a long serving time. The location was close to sites without being in the thick of it. A small store to buy snacks and water, plus restaurants were right next door. I am so relieved to have finally found an automatic place to stay in Istanbul. I will certainly be back!
