This hotel was much better than expected. I stayed here for three nights, and enjoyed the beautiful view of the Hagia Sofia from my room. The rooms were really nice, with a nice size bathroom, sitting chair, lots of amenities. The breakfast was so good, I would go back just for that. The staff was very nice. I didn't see... More

What has been described in previous comments is true: outstanding position, clean rooms and good breakfast. I would also add friendly staff, available to solve any inconvinience. On the other hand, there is no elevator and rooms are acutally not that big. Also materases could be renewed. There is the possibility of some small noise, being in the Sulthanamet.

If you have a lack of sleep, I would not recommend this hotel though. Our bed was terrible. One could feel the springs in the back when turning over. Besides a restless night, we were awakened by the imam calling for prayer, there was a minaret just about 100m away... We booked Modern Sultan Hotel based on location and pricing.... More

Very friendly and helpful staff. Great location. It's very difficult to find a hotel in Europe that can accommodate a family of 5 and this hotel was a great find. The rooms are very clean, however, the bed should be replaced soon. The beds are very hard and you can feel the springs, but this is my only complaint.

This is the 2nd time I stayed in Modern Sultan Hotel and the 2nd time I write a review. There is no more words to describe but excellent. I stayed there for 6 days, made the reservation by email. My room was small but very clean and has a nice view of Gulhane park and the city. During the night,... More

Down a charming side street near the Hagia Sophia, we had no problem finding this hotel from the airport and tram. It's a close walk to everything including the Blue Mosque and even the Grand Bazaar (although the tram is just a hop on/off too). Tarek our receptionist was very helpful and helped us check out very early so we... More

As you may have read from other reviews Hotel is indeed located in a great location. 5 mins walk to the nearest tram, 10-15 mins walk to the embakment and most famous museums and places to visit are within 5-7 mins reach. Restaurants, money-exchange offices are all closer than you thinl. The main advantage in my opinion is that Hotel... More

The staff were most helpful people! Went out of their way to help us connect with a local friend when our cell phone wouldn't work. Breakfast offerings very simple and delicious. Nice atmosphere. Very clean and simple. Loved the location - close to everything and the tram.

This lovely little hotel (10 rooms) lies in the heart of old Istanbul, within ten minutes' walk of the Blue Mosque, Aya Sofia, the Topkapi Palace and the Grand Bazaar. With an exceptional manager, Mehmet, on site we were given valuable information of what to do, how to get there, etc. Breakfast was simple but tasty. If you are looking... More
