Palacete a los pies de la mezquita azul.
Pros:

La ubicación, la limpieza, el jardín con sus terrazas, el personal y la terraza de la habitación con vistas increíbles a la mezquita azul y al Bósforo.

Cons:

Desayuno buffet, pero bastante flojo a mí modo de ver. Cenar en el hotel resultó caro y no muy satisfactorio.

I would recommend and stay at this hidden gem again!
Pros:

I loved location, tranquility, the garden and feeling of staying in a property that was designed with attention to ottoman era. It provided sense of uniqueness. Hamam style bathroom was truly a touch we did not expect.

Cons:

I was expecting more traditional Turkish breakfast.

Come sultani a Sultanahmet
Pros:

La location è fantastica, una vista spettacolare sulla Moschea Blu che da sola varrebbe la pena di pernottare in questo hotel. Come se non bastasse invece hanno anche una meravigliosa vista sul Bosforo che la mattina è magica. La camera grande, bella e comoda come anche il bagno. Il personale sempre attento e gentilissimo, quando siamo andati era il compleanno del mio compagno e a sorpresa la mattina del suo compleanno gli hanno portato una fetta di torta con le candeline per festeggiare. Colazione buona e varia. Io lo consiglio senza alcun ombra di dubbio. Perfetto.

Cons:

Non c'è niente che non mi sia piaciuto. Uno dei migliori hotel in cui sia mai stata.

Staff were excellent and extremely helpful, location was next to almost everything, the views were incredible, courtyard
Pros:

This property is so beautiful and had the most gorgeous view of the blue mosque (which is right in front of it) as well as an amazing sea view in the back. I could not be more pleased with my stay here!

Highly enjoyed our stay and few days exploring Istanbul
Pros:

Located within a very short walking distance of the Blue Mosque, Sultanahmet Sarayi Hotel was certainly a delight to stay in.
Staff were very welcoming and helpful with information and brochures at the ready. A short walk to Sultanahmet Square where you can also find Hagia Sophia and Topkapi Palace along with the Blue Mosque. Even the Grand Bazaar is short walking distance.
Tram stop centrally located here also gives easy access to harbour.
Breakfast was a good variety and more importantly coffee was available.
Great views from restaurant area over Marmara Sea.
Highly recommend

Cons:

Not that we didn't like but found bathroom a tad small and took a day to realize needed to move shower head if not intending to have a turkish bath. But this wasn't a game changer, just a word of warning to others.
