Sultanhan Hotel - Special Class

10/10 Excellent
"Brilliant location to stay The staff were great and friendly The proximity of the hotel to the main strip with the Grand Bazaar on one side to the Aya Sofia, Blue Mosque and the Basillica Cistern. The metro stop is very close to the hotel. I stayed in this hotel last year in 2025 and now again in 2026. If I return to Istanbul, I will be staying at this hotel again. It nice and clean, and a brilliant hotel to come back to after a busy day in Istanbul!"
