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.

The hotel is perfectly located, just a short walk from all the essential tourist sites and with a walk distance to the tram lines, yet on a peaceful street that allows for a restful stay. A perfect breakfast room with a view on the blue mosque . The staff is very friendly and readily available to help, always showing remarkable initiative. Our room for 4 person with two badrooms and two bathrooms was very comfortable, very clean, with all the amenities we needed. Mini bar was free. I was pleasantly surprised when the staff surprised me with a birthday cake during breakfast that made my visit truly memorable. Highly recomend and always ready to return and stay again.

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.

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.

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.

A lovely hotel in a bustling tourist area, close to the metro, tram station, and airport buses. The area is near Beyazit, the Blue Mosque, and Fatih; everything you could want is right next to the hotel. The staff were very helpful, especially Mudar, Muhammad, and Ahmad; they were truly very polite. The rooms are somewhat small but comfortable and clean.

The location and value for money are great. A 10 minute walk to the Bosphorus and ferries and there are some great alleyways for eating. It's walking distance to the metro which will take you to the blue mosque and the surrounding area which are popular with tourists. Moses, Baha and Isa were excellent. I recommend this hotel and area for solo travellers. I felt safe and a part of the local culture

Hotel Fehmi Bey has a perfect location – just a short walk from all the main historical sites like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. The breakfast, served on the top floor with a stunning view of the Blue Mosque, was delicious and varied every morning. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The only small thing to note is that the bathrooms, especially the showers, could use a little renovation, as they look a bit dated. Overall, a very pleasant and memorable stay – highly recommended!

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.

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.
