We stayed here with kids. Location is perfect, one can easily walk to the blue and hagia Sophia mosque. In fact the grand bazaar is also 5-9min away. Hotel staff was very helpful and accommodating with late checkout and also helping us with booking cabs. The restaurant here has an amazing 360 degree view of Istanbul and nearby mosque. This was definitely a nice perk. Would recommend this place if you are short on time or looking to stay in the heart of old town. I would return to this hotel and recommend

We recently stayed at the Sultanhan Hotel in Istanbul as a family of four, including two younger children, and had a wonderful experience. The hotel is ideally situated in the heart of the Sultanahmet area, making it a perfect choice for those wanting to explore Istanbul’s top tourist attractions. The location is truly unbeatable — Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, the Basilica Cistern, and Topkapi Palace are all within easy walking distance. The tram stop is also nearby, making it convenient to explore other parts of the city. The hotel itself was clean, comfortable, and well-suited for families. Our room was spacious enough for all four of us, and the staff were friendly and accommodating, ensuring our stay was pleasant. The atmosphere of the hotel felt warm and welcoming, with a touch of traditional charm that complements the historic area. Overall, the Sultanhan Hotel is a fantastic choice for families or anyone looking for a comfortable base to explore Istanbul’s iconic landmarks. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely consider returning on our next visit to this beautiful city.

Fantastic Experience in Hotel Sultanhan
The service and atmosphere of this hotel is fantastic, nevertheless, our highlight is always the breakfast. The restaurant offers an amazing view of the city of Istanbul and the service is always friendly and great! You could feed the seagulls on a good day and the owner /manager was kind enough to open the glass window for us to take photos without the glare of the indoor lights. It is a wonderful way to start the day.

Amazing!
Our stay at Sulthan Hotel added to the amazing family trip to Istanbul. The customer service was excellent throughout our stay. The managers helped arrange our airport pickup and drop off and we payed $130 total- the airport is 45min away from the hotel. The boutique-style hotel is in the main location and walking distance from the Grand Bazaar, Mosques, and other main attractions. The rooms are clean and well maintained, and are bigger than I had expected from the pictures. The hotel has a Turkish Bath on site and the roof top views over the Bosporus are stunning to look at during breakfast time. Overall, the stay was amazing and well worth the price.
