Comfortable respite from the heat and close to the sights
Pros:

Well located and fairly easy to get to by taxi (there’s a taxi stand right outside) notwithstanding the narrow streets of Sultanahmet, it’s a short (uphill) walk to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and Topkapi Palace. The hotel is slightly quirky. Breakfast is downstairs with fresh handmade gozleme and a range of bread, cereals and hot options. It’s not a typical western breakfast and can provide some challenges if you’re expecting standard fare. The reception is very friendly with excellent English and very helpful. There is a small elevator. The rooms are a decent size but ageing, but comfortable enough, but with a very old TV. The hotel gives you 2 one litre bottles of water a day which is great and the daily room service is quick and efficient. You are quite close to the Little Sophia mosque so you do get the call to prayer reasonably clearly. The rooftop terrace has some excellent views. We enjoyed our stay here well enough and definitely needed the A/C after extremely hot summer days in Istanbul. If we came back to Sultanahmet we would consider staying again, but there are also other great parts of Istanbul to stay in. All in all we were pretty happy with this option.

Avoid. Not worth the price, not even half of the price
Pros:

Location was good and staff very helpful and friendly

Cons:

Room very dated, paint peels off the ceiling. Wallpaper also tarnished. Flush in the toilet needs daily adjustments to work. All in all - old dirty place. Breakfast poor and basic. Finally half- night of chairs scratching floor on rooftop bar - each movement perfectly resonating in the room - no way to sleep well.

Ideal hotel location in Sultanahmet and well run.
Pros:

Brilliant location. We almost got a Marriott property on points. Really glad we picked Amira’s location instead. It’s incredibly close to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Cistern, Grand Bazaar, Topkapi Palace.

Cons:

Beds could use a bit of an upgrade sometime soon. Bedding is fine. Mattresses were just fair.

Bom mas distante do agito de Istambul
Pros:

Fica na parte com menos agito em Istambul, muito agradável o rooftop com uma bela vista para o mar.
Funcionários muito prestativos sempre dispostos a ajudar ponto forte do lugar.
Café da manhã excelente, preparam os pães turcos na hora, uma senhora muito simpática e prestativa.

Cons:

Falta acessibilidade para pessoas com deficiência, nossos quartos ficaram no subsolo e tinha apenas um basculhante de frente para rua

Lo recomiendo, y subir a su terraza según va anocheciendo no tiene desperdicio.
Pros:

La amabilidad del personal de recepción que nos invitaron a desayunar el día que llegamos cuando no tocaba desayunar hasta el día siguiente. Nos cambiaron la cama de la niña porque no era muy grande al instante que se lo dijimos.

Cons:

Quizá echamos de menos en el desayuno algo de cacao para mi hija y tomate triturado para desayuno con aceite.

Great location, amazing staff, clean rooms
Pros:

Hotel Amira always lives up to its standards. This is our second stay and this hotel never fails to impress. The location is always so central to everything, the staff is so helpful and don’t say no to anything you ask for and the rooms are always comfortable and spotless.

Cons:

Some rooms could use a little bit of a face lift, but this will always be one of my favourite hotels
