First of all, a huge thank you to Engin, Hussein, Murat and everyone at Emerald Mansion Hotel for being such wonderful hosts! They were warm, pleasant and welcoming from the moment I arrived at the hotel and Engin was more than happy to help plan my itinerary on days I made few plans. Hussein was equally as hospitable when booking my itinerary.
I really cannot fault my stay at Emerald Mansion Hotel; it’s clean, new, comfortable and within striking distance to Sultanahmet Square where you can visit the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and Basilica Cistern. Emerald Mansion Hotel is close to Çemberlıtaş tram station also so you can travel to Topkapi and Dolmabahçe Palaces easily.
The hospitality here is amazing and it really made my stay in Istanbul special. A huge thank you to Hussein who gave me bottles of water when there was a disruption to the water supply to the old city, and to Murat who helped out with my Istanbulkart and payments when I had a bit of a mini-meltdown. Not only was he a calm in the situation, he was empathetic - I will never forget his generosity!
I highly recommend the Emerald Mansion Hotel if you want the boutique hotel experience in Sultanahmet. Once again, thank you all for the wonderful stay and it was such a pleasure meeting you all!!
