Stayed at the Sari Konak for 4 nights. Perfect location for walking to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia, the Grand Bazaar. Very clean. Pleasant and helpful front desk. Comfortable rooms and beds. Very nice breakfast in pleasant ground level room --- imagine in the summer it would be lovely to sit outside. Fabulous roof terrace with some of the best... More

One expects to see incredible historical sights when visiting Istanbul; full days of sightseeing and touring around town. By the way, the hotel is a five minute walk to the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. You can't beat that. That rich history is made much more memorable and enjoyable when you stay at a place like Sari Konak. The staff... More

I really liked the location of this hotel. Many people said, "Oh, you're staying in the tourist area." Well, yeah, that's what we were. The Sari Konak is located in the Old City in a building that was once, I imagine, a private town home for a wealthy citizen (though for the life of me, I can't find any history)... More

We have just returned from a 4 night stay at this gem of a hotel. A wonderful experience. As we have holiday apartments in Luxor, Egypt we know how important it is to keep your guests happy and to help them have an enjoyable holiday. The Sari Konak and the staff do just that. The hotel is only a few... More

A fantastic hotel. We visited in March 2013 with a family group of nine that took up four rooms. All rooms had character, comfortable beds and were clean. Location was walking distance to the sights and had a variety of restaurants close by. The breakfast included fresh fruit and local fare that pleased everyone - including my three year old... More

We had such a wonderful time in Istanbul and it was definitely helped by staying at the excellent Hotel Sari Konak. We booked late so only family suite 502 was available and I was nervous of what we might find since no pictures were available of these rooms. I needn’t have worried. We had a small but very nicely furnished... More

I have so many wonderful things to say about Hotel Sari Konak. The location is fantastic, the room was comfortable/clean and breakfast was lovely. My one complaint is that we were treated like true tourists which I didn't appreciate. In Istanbul you are constantly being approached by store-owners, restaurants, etc and it can be exhausting - not to mention having... More

We loved our stay in this small hotel. It was very clean, neat & tidy, well furnished & generally quiet (stayed 4 nights but did not hear the 5am call to prayer!). Breakfasts were good. The staff were friendly, efficient & very helpful. The location could not be bettered - pop up to the roof garden & see how near... More

The hotel is well located in the main tourist attractions (Sultanahmet Mosque, Hagia Sofia, Topkapi Palace and Mosaic Museum). It is also surrounded by a range of restaurants to choose from and a local grocery store nearby. The train/tram is 5-8 minutes away from the hotel. Hotel staffs were very friendly and accommodating. We arrived at the hotel early in... More
