This hotel has very good location and very good price. The rooms are beautiful and clean. All the staff are always ready to help you. We stayed here second time and if we come to Istanbul once more, we would stay here again. ..

The location of the hotel is excellent. It is just a few meters away from the Gulhane tram stop and a short walk to the heart of Sultanahmet and all major sights (Topkapi, Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia). We would definitely stay here again. As we were right next to the tram stop we even came and went to the... More

Make sure you have the correct address and details, as it's not easy to find for most taxi drivers (but once you find it, you shouldn't need a taxi as it's right in the middle of the old city) Excellent greeting, the people here can't do enough for you, pulling maps out and pointing out all the sites, smells and...

We recently stayed at the Modern Sultan Hotel for 2 nights for a weekend getaway. We've stayed in Sultanahmet many times with varying degrees of satisfaction. Price does not always equal quality and as this was just a quick trip we chose the Modern Sultan due to it's location and cheap room rate. The room was very small which in... More

This should be a very nice hotel, but we had two major problems. Our room was almost but not quite finished with a renovation, so the paint smelled, the radiators needed fixing, the curtains were missing and the floors were barely covered by the rugs. They probably should not have given us the room due to the unfinished work. They... More

The hotel was lovely, the staff ever so friendly and helpful. We stayed in an amazing, newly renovated room at the top and had excellent views of the Hagia Sophia on one side and over the roof-tops all the way to the Bosphorus on the other side! We have had excellent 3 days in Istanbul and the location allowed us... More

Great location for visiting the major sites of the old town, very convenient to the tram line as well to get to modern Istanbul and to the trips on the Bosphorus. Walk-up, no elevator. The place just changed owners, we were there during the transition.

First of all this hotel is in an excellent location in Sultanahmet area, close to all the main attractions yet tucked away in a quite alley that provides it with a relaxing and quite atmosphere. However, you will probably find many other hotels with similar location advantages in Sultanahmet. The difference for me was the atmosphere inside the hotel itself.... More
