Convenient location in the Sultanhamet
It classifies itself as a "special category" but we felt that it fell to just above a 3 star. It is conveniently placed for all the usual sights and the rooftop restaurant had a spectacular views over the Blue Mosque and the Hagia Sophia. The staff were extremely helpful - ranging from the reception staff to the cleaning ladies. The brekfast sets you up for the day.

Great Experience at SULTANHAN Hotel
Our stay was absolutely amazing. The hotel itself is beautiful, but the staff is what makes this place special. Every staff member is so nice and very helpful. We just loved our dinners at the rooftop restaurant-Ali, the restaurant manager was phenomenal! He was friendly, funny and loved sharing info about this wonderful city. We looked forward to seeing him each night of our stay.
