The location of the hotel is perfect - just a few steps from the main attractions and the tram stop. It was pleasant to find some cookies and bottles of water in the room on arrival. Free water was always provided there. Individual breakfast portions consisted of local appetisers, fried potatoes and eggs. It was tasty and a bit different every morning. When guests asked for some more coffee or a croissant, they got it. There is a small lift which is really great, especially after the whole day of walking. Our room had a magnificent view on the mosque illuminated in the evening. Besides, we could hear the evening and morning prayer - perhaps, some people would complain that they were awoken by it at 5am , but we enjoyed it. Such prayers can be heard throughout the city all the day. The staff is polite and helpful - they do their best to answer the questions. It is advisable to get a Transportation Card which can be used to pay the fees not only for any of the city's public transportation systems, including buses, metrobuses, trams, the tunnel and ferries, but also for the restrooms run by the İstanbul Metropolitan Municipality - you just need to load money onto it in cash or by credit card using the machines on the tram stops. It is really safe to walk in the city; most people speak English and are eager to help you if you ask about something. Also, there are Tourist Police who are really helpful. The queues to the museums were not long at all - maybe because it is not a high season yet.

Blue Mosque

Constructed between 1609 and 1616, the striking Sultan Ahmed Mosqueo—or "Blue Mosque"—is still a place of worship today. With no war victories to fund it, this expensive structure had to be paid for straight from the treasury – angering the Ottoman legal scholars of the time. Non-Muslim visitors are encouraged to visit, but should be respectful of the strict dress code.

    The Blue Mosque — Sacred Stillness in a Lively World

    The Blue Mosque — Sacred Stillness in a Lively World Stepping into the courtyard of the Blue Mosque (Sultanahmet Camii) is like crossing into another time. Its towering minarets and sweeping domes echo with centuries of prayer, artistry, and devotion — a masterpiece of Ottoman architecture that still breathes with the spirit of Islam. Inside, the air is silent despite the buzz of tourists. Light filters through stained-glass windows, dancing across thousands of hand-painted blue Iznik tiles. There’s a deep reverence here — not only for faith, but for heritage itself. You feel it in every arch, every call to prayer, every quiet footstep across the carpeted floor. And yet, outside the mosque, life unfolds with its own charm: cats stretch lazily in sun-warmed corners, dogs nap peacefully under shady trees. Meanwhile, travelers from every corner of the world struggle for the perfect angle — clicking away hundreds of “crazy” photos, but always with a sense of wonder. Despite the crowds, the atmosphere remains remarkably friendly and trustworthy. Locals smile. Tourists help each other with photos. There's an unspoken agreement to respect the moment — and the place. This isn’t just a tourist stop. It’s a symbol — of culture that knows how to honor the past without shutting the present out. And it leaves you walking away with something more than just pictures.

    Ensure that you have clothing that covers your knees, apllicable to both men and women. Women additionally need to ensure that they have a headscarf to cover head and shoulders. They now charge for the coverings if you don't have

    As a Christian, first time in a mosque, I was impressed. The colors and architecture are impressive. I was lucky enough to have the accommodation 5min away so I could enjoy the beauty before going in, one night before. I recognize I was disguised by the non-Muslims that are not able to respect other people beliefs and gets in the prayer area just for pictures. Pity them. You should never put your pictures before the place you are, no matter what.

    One of the most sought after architectural wonders. It’s free. But dress appropriately. No bare shoulders, no bare knees and women need a scarf to cover their heads. Best to go prepared but you will also need given disposable covers at the entrance.

    Great breakfast, very close to public transport (2 stops down to Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque) and comfy bed. Staff super helpful. Easy walk to restaurants, shops etc. It is a longer ride to get across the river to other areas due to traffic, but true of any hotel in this area. The hotel restaurant is great as well.

    The property is in an amazing location. It's right near both the Blue Mosque and Haggia Sofia. The rooms are comfortable and are a decent size. The staff is wonderful- very helpful and friendly. And the view from the terrace where breakfast is served is so incredible. Breakfast is a very lovely buffet with quite a bit of variety. Coffee and tea are available at any time- we came up every night for a cup of tea and to see the gorgeous view! I would absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone that's visiting Istanbul.

    The room was clean and well decorated. The staff was excellent. Handled questions and concerns without hesitation. Talked with the owner during a marvelous breakfast on the top level that overlooked the river. She spoke English and chatted with us for quite awhile, wanting to know how we were doing, where we from and was very proud of her facility. We could walk to the major both the Blue Mosque and the Hagia Sophia as well as the bazaars. I would return to this hotel when coming back to Istanbul.

    The location of this hotel is the best part of the stay. It is just a 2–3 minute walk from the famous Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, and about a 10-minute walk from the Grand Bazaar. There are many restaurants nearby, and the environment around the hotel is lively. The staff were very friendly and arranged all our activities, tours, and taxis. Breakfast was wonderful, and the rooftop restaurant offers a breathtaking view of the entire city. I would definitely plan to book this hotel again if I travel to Istanbul.

    We stayed in the Standard Suite and it was an excellent experience. The room was exactly like the pictures – very neat, clean, modern, and well-renovated. Everything we needed was provided and well managed. The hotel is also in a perfect location, just a short walk from all the main attractions in Sultanahmet Old Town (Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Grand Bazaar, etc.). Overall, a comfortable and hassle-free stay – highly recommended for anyone visiting Istanbul.
