Charming in a great location
Pros:

Location directly behind the Blue Mosque can’t be beat. But the best thing about the hotel is its staff - very kind, professional and helpful to a weary traveler. The hotel is a short walk to the tram line, spice market, bazaar and a lot in between. And did I mention charming and my room had a nice view of the water. I arrived early and was treated to breakfast!

Cons:

Just a few minor things like ceiling paint peeling but that can be ignored with all the positives.

Our stay was memorable and perfect! Thank you yo the staff at Sultanahmet Palace hotel.
Pros:

The location is absolutely amazing with a backdrop of the Blue Mosque on one aspect and the Bosforus from the other. It is central to the bazaar and yo many great eateries and walking distance to the tram. So central and yet perfectly quiet.
The call to prayer was a magical soundtrack to our experience.

Cons:

The Seaview and mosque view room had a priceless view from the balcony but the room was very small with little room for 2 suitcases.
