Pros:

I booked and paid in advance for 6 nights at Hotel Sultan Hill. On arrival they couldn't find my booking. Eventually they gave me a room. It was a super hot day and after a long journey I wanted a shower. There was no water. Even the toilet wouldn't flush. This was not the fault of the hotel, I was advised plumbing works were in progress in the street. Ok. However the staff really didn't care and offered no solution.
One night I was out late with friends, the receptionist called my personal mobile phone to ask where I was!?
In the afternoon of day 3, after my room had not been cleaned once yet I requested new towels.
Another morning the owner proceeded to scold me for going out late and coming back early. I am a 50 year old woman! His reasoning, after I suggested he was not my father was they were waiting for me to return to clean my room. What?! You wait for the guest to be insitu to clean? They did not then clean my room.
On the morning of check out I was getting myself ready. Thankfully I was already dressed. I hear my door unlock. I go to greet whom I expect to be housekeeping, marvelling that they come on my last morning. No, it was another guest. She stared at me, bewildered that I was in "her" room. Turns out she confused which floor she was on and went to her door on autopilot. No problem except that HER ROOM KEY OPENED MY DOOR!!! We proceeded to have surprise and concern. Both our keys opened all doors. Do not stay here. You and your property are not safe!

Pros:

I stayed here only for one night for an overnight transfer, not expecting much other than the hotel near the Blue Mosque, which I failed to visit the last time. It turned out to be that the stay here was the best memory I had in Istanbul - memorable with the help of wonderful Ali the Concierge. I will come back this year, Ali, no matter what! You opened up my mind and rekindled my passion for travel. But of course, I won't forget leaving the key with you next time I come back. Please excuse me for that...

I felt safe always, the room was clean and tidy, breakfast was great, and the hotel services were made easy through the team. I would pay any price just to stay here again. Ali if you ever read this, a BIG BIG THANK YOU for an awesome experience. I look forward to staying at this hotel again, and very much look forward to seeing you again. Thanks, M.K.O.

Pros:

Fabulous location. Unbelievable view of Blue Mosque from rooftop terrace. It is not a five-star hotel, so obviously not modernised and glamorous. Breakfast was great. Staff were friendly and helpful. The rooftop terrace is such an incredible space, but a bit dirty and unkept. It would be easily upgraded with a few potplants and umbrellas :) The breakfast area was lovely with a little outside garden.

Pros:

A well located property right in the tourist area, around the corner from all the main attractions. Very easy walk to tram transport for access to other parts of the city. Room was adequate but small. Facilities were dated,but in saying this… we weren’t in our room often. Bed was too hard for me. Management were great, so helpful… especially Ali who speaks perfect English…thanks for a lovely couple of days

Good stay~
Pros:

A quaint lodging in the heart of the old town. It is an old building but very well maintained.
Right behind the Blue Mosque. Sofia, the museum, and the T1 stop are very close, so it's convenient.
The main square with the obelisk is always guarded by the police so it is safe and very quiet at night.
From the roof of this hotel you can see the sea and the roof of the Blue Mosque.
The staff are also very friendly.

The only downside is that the shower head in the bathroom is fixed, so it's inconvenient to have to wash your hair always.

Pros:

I stayed for one week at the Sultan Hill Hotel, we were a family of 6 people. I have to say it was one of best hotels I’ve stayed in thus far. The hotel staff were absolutely amazing, friendly and hospitable, especially the owner Ali. The facilities were above expectation, including very good wifi and good cleaning service. Our rooms were cleaned to a very high standard every day and very good air conditioning. We had a tasty complementary breakfast everyday. The best feature is the location of the hotel, it is a 5 minute walk to Hagia Sophia and 10 minutes walk to the Blue Mosque, nearby to the grand bazar. You will be situated at the heart of Istanbul - this is a unbelievable deal for the price !!! Will definitely be visiting again.
