Great stay in a really convenient location! Staff were very friendly in the hotel and at the restaurant, my room was clean and comfortable, and the location can’t be beat! 2 minutes walk to Hagia Sofia and other attractions in Sultanahmet. Very safe area to walk around at any time, would highly recommend staying here!

This charming little boutique hotel, locatef the the heart of the old city. Its an easy walk to many if the important sights in this part id Istanbul. The staff was warm and friendly, especially the kind Maitress'd on the roof top menu. I only had drinks and breakfast up there, but there are lovely views of the Bosphorus. I really enjoy my stay there. Note that I was as a solo female but felt very safe there and all throughout the city. The room may be a bit too small for 2 people.

All good except one thing.
The street noise, beeps from elevator , banging of luggage and or slamming of doors makes sleep impossible until around 2:30 am !
Everything else was fantastic. Sort out the noise and this place is a gem !!!

Terrible. Air conditioning was inoperable and multiple power outages during the night. Left after one night but paid for four.
Onto that you will listen to clanging dishes from below all night.

I'm so glad I picked this hotel for my family and I. I got 2 rooms and it was perfect. Rooms are small but doors to terrace open for fresh air. The staff is kind. The decor is beautiful. They check inventory when leaving so I appreciate that. They care for their property. I ate next door every day . Perfect place to stay while in istanbul I will be back

Great location in Sultanahmet. Right next door to the Four Seasobs Hotel at a fraction of the price. Beds are comfortable, but the rooms are on the smaller side. Clean, and a good place to rest after a full day of walking at the nearby attractions

Seven nights in Istanbul
We have just finished our stay at the Aya Sultanahmet and had a great time there, the staff are very friendly and helpful, we stayed there on three seperate times in September for a total of seven nights, it’s only a five minute walk to the Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace and Hagia Sophia and less to a wide range of restaurants.
We stayed in two different types of rooms both on the top floor with water views, both were a good size and modern and clean.
The main problems with both rooms was the restaurant above them moving chairs and tables making scrapping sounds. The other problem was the wifi speed was a bit slow and erratic at times.
Would I stay there again yes for sure the positives out way the negatives.
