Отличное расположение, тихо, сытные завтраки
Pros:

В целом пребывание было комфортно, расположение отличное, завтраки сытные
Понравилось · Номер дали выше категории, спасибо!Расположение отеля отличное, пешком до Айя -Софии 10 минут. Угловой делюкс-номер большой, просторный и светлый, тихо, уютно , в номере тепло, хороший напор воды. Питьевую воду, чай, кофе пополняют ежедневно. Чисто, полотенца меняют ежедневно . Завтраки хорошие, но немного однообразны и совсем не было зелени. Женщина которая печет лепёшки очень приятная. Парень, который помогал отнести сумки, отзывчив и приходит на помощь, молодец!

Cons:

Серьёзных замечаний нет, только ванная под уставшая. И персонал кухни не очень приветлив, не всегда здороваются. Также на ресепшен, когда мы узнавали о возможности продлить пребывание, у них не было единого решения. Один сотрудник сказал, что возможно за ту же плату, но с заменой комнаты. Второй сказал что можем остаться в той же комнате , но уже немного дороже.

Wonderful Hotel in Quiet Location
Pros:

My family and I had a wonderful stay at Hotel Amira! The staff was polite and very attentive to our needs. A wide variety of quality food choices were available for breakfast and we highly recommend the gozleme flatbread that a woman baked fresh for us each morning.

We chose this hotel in part because its location is relatively quiet in an otherwise busy tourist section of Istanbul. In 5 minutes, you can walk down to the waterfront and catch the sunset. You are only about a 10 minute walk from Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Grand Bazaar and countless stores and restaurants. There is an awesome rooftop restaurant that's worth checking out just steps down the street.

The rooms were reasonably sized by European standards. When we needed room to just hang out, the staff allowed us to use the breakfast area. We also used the hotel to arrange airport transport which helped simplify our journey, especially as we arrived at IST well after midnight.

I would highly recommend Hotel Amira when visiting this part of Istanbul.

perfect for a short stay
Pros:

I was on my way to Ankara for a conference and decided to spend two nights in Istanbul for a quick tour. My flight got in very early, and the gentleman at the reception offered me breakfast. It was a very nice gesture even though I just got fed on the plane. I was happy to have a place to sit down for coffee before places open. And I received a text on whatsapp before 1am that my room was ready while I was out touring.

The hotel staff spoke perfect English and was helpful in every way.

I enjoy the breakfast very much as well - turned our to be better than a much ‘fancier’ hotel i stayed in later on the trip in Ankara; where very few people spoke any English.

The room was a bit on the ‘old and rundown’ side but perfectly clean and sufficient and comfortable.

It was a perfect stay all in all. Most of the major sights were within walking distance, Uber worked just fine when I ventured beyond the ‘neighborhood’ or decided that I needed a break from walking.

Warm Hospitality Above Expectations. A True 5-Star Stay at Hotel Amira Istanbul
Pros:

An outstanding 5-star experience at Hotel Amira Istanbul. From the moment we arrived early, the team welcomed us with genuine warmth by offering complimentary breakfast and assisting with an early check-in that made a long travel day instantly easier.

The hospitality felt personal and sincere, not just professional, creating a sense of comfort throughout our stay. Located perfectly in Sultanahmet, the hotel made it effortless to explore the city while always providing a calm place to return to.

Every detail, from attentive service to the friendly atmosphere, reflected true Turkish hospitality.

A highly recommended stay for anyone looking for a warm, personal, and memorable Istanbul experience.

A Perfect Couples’ Stay at Hotel Amira Istanbul – Exceptional Hospitality & Delicious Breakfast
Pros:

We had the most beautiful stay at Hotel Amira Istanbul as a couple. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed — the hospitality here is truly outstanding. The staff made us feel at home and taken care of in every possible way. It’s rare to find a place where you feel this comfortable and valued.

The location is absolutely top — everything is within walking distance, which made exploring Istanbul so easy and enjoyable. After long days of sightseeing, it was such a pleasure to return to a hotel that felt calm, cozy, and inviting.

Their breakfast is delicious. A highlight of our mornings! The variety was amazing, everything fresh and beautifully presented. You must try the Turkish flatbread gözleme — it was one of our favorites and tasted incredible.

If you’re visiting Istanbul as a couple (or even solo), we highly recommend Hotel Amira.

Location, Price, and Comfort! A+
Pros:

This was my first visit to Istanbul, so I did not know what to expect. The Hotel Amira staff was warm and genuinely friendly from beginning to end, and at any time of day or night (my airport transfer was at 1am). They took time to answer every question fully and even add their own personal advice. I felt like a welcome guest.

The hotel itself is in a fantastic location, very close walking distance to important sights. Both taxis and public transportation are immediately available. Tucked into a quiet corner, the building is cozy, beautifully decorated, and spotlessly clean. The breakfast (included with my room) was the best I’ve seen. Hot and cold options, lovely cheeses and sliced meats, eggs in a variety of presentations, fresh fruits and vegetables. Flatbread made to order was the icing on the cake.

My room (standard) was on the smaller side, but well equipped and comfortable. I especially enjoyed the jacuzzi tub in the bath. My friends were traveling with children, and their triple rooms were much more spacious — both families said they were very comfortable. The red velvet curtains you see in the photos are effective blackout curtains… a welcome perk when fighting jetlag!

In short, this is a great choice at a good price.
