"My stay at The Bail Hotel Istanbul was truly outstanding. The hotel staff were extremely cooperative and went above and beyond to assist us at every step. They helped arrange our cruise and airport transfers, securing excellent prices and ensuring everything went smoothly. Their guidance throughout our stay was invaluable-always ready to answer questions and provide recommendations. The hotel itself was spotlessly clean, and the room cleaning service was excellent.

Top St. Mary's Cathedral Hotel Reviews

Sultanhan Hotel - Special Class

8/10 Good

"Beautiful hotel near many attractions, the morning breakfast is the most iconic as you get both view of Ayasofya and Blue Mosque. Rooms feel old but it’s the vibe that takes you back to the 1900s if you like that. Overall great experience."

Kare Hotel Sultanahmet

10/10 Excellent

"I had a pleasant stay overall. The location was convenient, with easy access to nearby attractions, shops, and restaurants. The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout my visit. There were a few minor areas that could be improved, but they didn't significantly affect my experience. The facilities were well maintained, and the atmosphere was relaxing. I'd recommend this place to travellers looking for a comfortable and convenient stay. My advice is to check the available amenities before booking to make sure they match your needs, and if you're visiting during peak season, book early to get the best room options."

Four - G Hotel Premium

10/10 Excellent

"My mom and I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Our room was spotless, and we appreciated the daily housekeeping that kept everything fresh throughout our stay. The breakfast was delicious and a great way to start each day. What stood out most was how friendly and genuinely warm everyone was. It’s rare to find a place that makes you feel so welcomed, and it really made our trip special. We will definitely be returning highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable, welcoming stay!"

Metrolux Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"the hotel is located in a very close proximity to the metro, bus stop, and the tram. you're in the middle of the city with all sorts of shops and restaurants around you. the staff were super friendly, helpful and amazing. one thing that i would comment on would be the breakfast. i stayed for 11 days, and i was having my own breakfast daily instead of the included one. other than that, if you're looking for a budget friendly, useful staff and centered hotel, Metrolux is your destination"

Lenus Hagia Sophia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Highly recommend this wonderful place! We had a fantastic stay here. The accommodation was spotless, beautifully designed, and felt completely new. What we loved most was the location—it was incredibly convenient and close to all the main sights, restaurants, and transport. Would definitely stay here again next time we are in Istanbul!"
