Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul at Sultanahmet

Sultan Ahmed Mosque Istanbul|0.55km from Whirling Dervishes
The room is not big, but the location is super good. The hotel's garden is also very nice, and it's quite nice to take photos. Just 2 minutes after going out, turn right and you will see the Blue Mosque and Sophia Cathedral. There are two Egyptian monuments and a snake-headed staff on the square. The starting point of the sightseeing tour bus is right on the square. It is very convenient to get there. To exit the square, go left. Going out is Victory Street, which is very lively and has trams running through it, which is also very unique. Go down (right) on Victory Street and you will go to the Old Palace. If you look at the mosque on the left and Sophia Cathedral on the right, the Basilica Cistern is on the right side of the square. The entrance to the Basilica Cistern is where people are queuing across the road. We stayed for 5 nights and walked around every day. It was very atmospheric. In Muslim countries, prayers are held five times a day. When the loudspeaker sounds, it is most disturbing in the early morning. However, they seem to be very conscious, and the volume is slightly lower in the morning and the duration is shorter. The rest of the time, just enjoy listening to music when praying. Every time, there is a live broadcast of prayers in every mosque, playing a long tune as if singing, which is very exotic. Basically, you have to negotiate the price of a taxi, and Grab also negotiates the price. They all charge extortionate prices, so you must negotiate before getting in the car.

Arife Sultan Hotel

Sultan Ahmed Mosque Istanbul|0.03km from Whirling Dervishes
First of all, it was easy to arrange for a shuttle to pick me up from the airport via booking.com. The cost is reasonable, considering it was later at night I finally got there, due to a long delay of my flight. The gentleman who met me was/is very funny. Quite the the jokester. Kinda like me. 😁 The room was super nice and clean and modern. The toilet actually worked well, which was a very nice change after trekking in Nepal for a month. The bed and pillow were very comfortable. I absolutely LOVED the breakfast, with cherry juice and orange juice, cheese unique to Turkey, sausage for crackers and a lot of other super healthy options in relation to making salads. LOVED the cherry juice. The location is great!!! It is near everything you might want to see on the European side: Topkapi Palace, Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Grand Bazaar, Basilica Cistern, Theodosius Cistern, Theodosius Obelisk, the serpent column, taken from the Roman Hippodrome and brought to the Hippodrome in Constantinople, now Istanbul, as I’m sure most of you are aware. It’s about a twenty minute walk to the beautiful Süleymaniye mosque (nicer in my opinion than the Blue mosque). Maybe a ten to fifteen minute walk to the dock for the Bosporus River cruise port. Istanbul has some of the oldest buildings in the world, a totally worthwhile city to spend a few days in. Incredible history here!!! In conclusion, due to the super nice hotel, with a super friendly working staff, reasonable prices and great location, I recommend this hotel to anyone. You can’t go wrong here. Thanks for reading.

The location is very good. Just behind the Blue Mosque. The room was very light and there was no obstruction. Also very clean. The bathroom facilities are general, there is a shower and there is no bathtub.

Faros Hotel Old City - Special Category
4.4/575 Reviews
Sultan Ahmed Mosque
The location is the best to be, close to all the historical area. All the stuff was very kind and helpful. We had the roof room (5th floor) but the elevator didn’t work properly so they changed our room after 3 nights - and it was fixed only one day before our departure. The rooms are fully equipped and clean, however, there are quite some things to fix/renovate/maintain. Nothing that could really affect our stay though. The breakfast was basic but good. The hotel restaurant had some great choices if you decide to dine there as well. Overall it was a pleasant accommodation.
Aldem Hotel

Sultan Ahmed Mosque
Can't beat the location of this hotel. Small room size aside, the staff and service was great. Rooms are cleaned everyday with fresh towels provided everyday, breakfast is a delicious selection and the view from the terrace is just amazing. We dealt directly with the hotel for our booking, no agents and Erdal at reception was amazing arranging eveything, transfers and even offered an upgrade to a bigger room. Turkish hamam was also recommended and arranged with an authentic hamam dating back to 1800s. Shops, restaurants, tram and attractions literally a stone throw away. We felt very happy with our choice to stay here and highly recommend it.
Hotel Esve Istanbul
4.6/51 Reviews
Old City Sultanahmet
Clean rooms and linens, but a small closet for two, if for a few days, no problem. Decent breakfasts, coffee from the machine, which is not often the case in small hotels in the old city. The only problem is soundproofing, but all hotels in the old city in this price segment suffer from this. The price-quality ratio is acceptable if you catch a good offer. For us, this is the 7th hotel in the Sultanahmet area and we have something to compare with)) At the reception, Russian-speaking staff are very responsive. For the first visit, it is ideal to always have help and support.
