Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul at Sultanahmet

Sultan Ahmed Mosque Istanbul|0.38km from Sultanahmet Square
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.
Mula Hotel

Mula Hotel

Sultan Ahmed Mosque Istanbul|0.38km from Sultanahmet Square
I recently had the pleasure of staying at Mula Hotel in Istanbul with my family, including two toddlers, and it was an experience I won’t soon forget. Nestled in the heart of the old Sultanahmet area, the location couldn’t be more ideal. It’s within walking distance of all the major attractions, offering a perfect blend of convenience and cultural immersion. The surrounding area is a food lover’s paradise, with an array of great restaurants offering local and international cuisine. Plus, the easy access to the tram makes exploring the city a breeze. The hotel itself is a gem. My room was not only beautifully appointed but also boasted a stunning sea view that added a special touch to our family stay. Waking up to the serene vista of the sea was truly a highlight. The hotel’s family-friendly atmosphere made our stay with toddlers smooth and enjoyable. However, what really sets Mula Hotel apart is its exceptional service. Every staff member I encountered was not just professional but genuinely warm and welcoming. Their constant smiles and readiness to assist at any hour truly made me feel valued and taken care of. From getting a bottle of water in the middle of the night to personal touches like waiters remembering my omelette preferences after just one day - every detail was noticed and appreciated. I must give special mentions to Ercan at the restaurant and Ilknur at the front desk. Their outstanding service and personal attention significantly enhanced my stay. Their professionalism and kindness reflect the hotel’s commitment to guest satisfaction. Coming from someone who travels significantly and has stayed in several fantastic properties across the world, I can confidently say that Mula is right up at the top, and a rarity among hotels. In conclusion, Mula Hotel is more than just a place to stay; it’s a destination that offers a memorable experience. Whether it’s the prime location, the beautiful rooms, the delicious food, or the unparalleled service, this hotel ticks all the boxes for an exceptional stay in Istanbul. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city, especially those traveling with family.

Turkoman Hotel

Turkoman Hotel

Sultan Ahmed Mosque Istanbul|0.13km from Sultanahmet Square
The Hotel Turkoman really was the centre of our fantastic family holiday to Istanbul. Even before we arrived the correspondence was prompt and accomodating. We arrived way before check-in to find that our room was ready and we were even offered breakfast (8am-10:30am) which was very much appreciated after flying from Australia. Breakfast was a highlight of each day with a changing array of cakes, hot food, fruit, vegetables, cereal, breads and cheeses. The lady serving would also teach us Turkish words and customs while feeding the trained seagulls. We stayed in the Bergama family room with a queen sized bed, separated by a bathroom and two single beds. This worked well for our family of 4 although climbing the stairs is challenging after a long day exploring. The room boasted a big window which we left open at night for the breeze but the A/C in the main room did work well, a TV which we never turned on, a tiny mini-fridge to cool bottled water and an over bath shower with good supply of hot water. The downside to the room is that it’s a bit dated and there were things like the exhaust fan being noisy and some lights not working. Street noise is a bit of a problem if you’re a light sleeper, there are no blockout blinds and the flip-side to being ridiculously close to the Blue Mosque is that the Call to Prayer is really loud but by our 4th night I was sleeping through it. Other than the location and price, it’s the staff which make this hotel a great experience. They are helpful, welcoming and were tirelessly tidying and cleaning while we were there. Speaking of location this hotel is so close to a lot of attractions and the tram stop that we would come back during the day just for showers to cool off and rest before heading out again. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who can look past a few defects to stay right in the heart of Sultanahmet for a great price.

Hotel Ibrahim Pasha
4.6/5107 Reviews
Sultan Ahmed Mosque
The location is excellent. You can see the Blue Mosque and the sea from the roof. The sunrise and sunset are great viewing spots. It is within ten minutes away from several major attractions, which is very convenient. Family hotel, breakfast is not many choices but very fresh and delicious, the service staff are both warm and authentic, we have been familiar with them for a few days, we talked a lot and it is very interesting, the room is relatively small, but enough, The bathroom is also very small, there is no five-piece set, toothpaste and toothbrushes are all self-provided, there is no hot water kettle, it is recommended to bring your own, shower gel and other spare parts will not be updated, you have to ask the hotel after you use it. Overall it is a wonderful experience, I will choose if I have the opportunity!

Hotel SultanHill
4.3/542 Reviews
Sultan Ahmed Mosque
Hotel location is very good, very close to the Sofia Cathedral, the Blue Mosque. Do the airport bus ist20 line (16 lira per person), get off the big plaza of the Blue Mosque, walk 5, 6 minutes! Sitting on the rooftop just in time to enjoy the Blue Mosque (unfortunately has been repairing). The boss is very enthusiastic and will be enthusiastic about introducing fun places. The breakfast is quite rich: coffee, black tea, juice, boiled eggs, all kinds of nuts, fruits, bread... It is very comfortable for three days. If you want to visit the old town well, recommend it here.
