Pros:

L'hôtel est bien situé par rapport aux transports et pas loin de certaines activités à faire. Tout était à disposition et le personnel et l'accueil que j'ai reçu était top ! Je remercie encore Fatih pour son aide et sa gentillesse lors de mon séjour :)

Hotel umiestnený v centre starej časti Istanbulu. Dostupný na pešo všade.
Pros:

Výber na raňajkách nebol obrovský, ale dalo sa vybrať tak, aby človek nebol hladný. Všetko ale bolo chutné a pani, ktorá to pripravovala ponúkala rôzne druhy káv, alebo čaju.

I would be happy to stay here again!
Pros:

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The location is excellent — just a short walk from Hagia Sophia. The front desk service was outstanding, and thanks to Fatih, I truly felt welcomed and well taken care of. He was incredibly helpful, friendly, and attentive.

The rooms are small, but very cozy and, thanks to Elena, exceptionally clean. The breakfast was also very good.

Another thing that was especially important and convenient for me was the hotel shuttle service at a very reasonable price. It made my transportation so much easier.

Thank you, Fatih, and thank you, Elena, for making my stay so pleasant and comfortable.

Pros:

We visited Modern Sultan Hotel on our first trip to Istanbul and we couldn't have asked for a better place! Right next to Hagia Sofia and the Blue Mosque (only 5 minutes on foot), and next to plenty of options for coffee, food and several means of transportation to move around.
The stuff of the hotel was very polite, kind and helpful, especially Fatih, who was always available to help us with any question we had!
The breakfast was pretty nice, traditional, with enough options to start a busy day!
I recommend it!

Cons:

As it is located in a small traditional alley, where the buildings follow a specific architecture, the hotel has no elevator. In case you are assigned in a room on the 3rd floor or higher, get ready for a few stairs!
One more thing. The bathroom could have been cleaned a little bit more thoroughly. There were left bottles of shampoo previously used, for sure.

Come a casa
Pros:

Un piccolo e affascinante hotel boutique in un edificio tradizionale, con un'atmosfera molto intima e con uno stile molto lontano dai grandi e impersonali complessi alberghieri.

Camera pulita, piccola ma accogliente, l'essenziale non mancava! Aria condizionata, cambio asciugamani quotidiano. La nostra camera matrimoniale aveva una vista mozzafiato sulla Basilica di Santa Sofia. Letto comodo, zona tranquilla nonostante la vicinanza al centro, era quel tanto che basta defilato dal traffico e abbiamo sempre riposato bene.

Colazione a buffet con vasta scelta e molto buona.

La posizione dell'hotel è sicuramente un punto di forza eccezionale: si trova a pochi minuti a piedi dalle attrazioni principali e dalla fermata del tram. La posizione ha sicuramente reso comodissimo spostarsi e godere appieno della città senza perdere tempo prezioso.

Ma la vera magia di questo hotel risiede nelle persone che ci lavorano. I ragazzi della reception sono semplicemente fantastici: sempre sorridenti,
a disposizione in ogni momento per offrirci una tazza di tè, per darci i migliori consigli su come esplorare la città, come muoverci, dove gustare sapori autentici e si sono resi disponibili a prenotare per noi degli spettacoli che desideravamo vedere.

Ci hanno fatto sentire davvero come a casa.

Tra i ricordi più cari che conserveremo di questa città ci sono sicuramente le piacevoli chiacchierate che scambiavamo con i ragazzi della reception, sorseggiando cay nella suggestiva veranda dell' hotel.

Znakomita miejscówka w Stambule z pięknym widokiem na Hagia Sofia i przyjazną i troskliwą obsługą!
Pros:

Obiekt jest świetnie położony w dzielnicy Sultanahmet blisko najważniejszych atrakcji, jednak przy zbiegu spokojnych trzech uliczek, więc nie ma hałasu i zgiełku większych ulic. Najważniejszym plusem poza położeniem jest hotelowa obsługa, w szczególności Fatih - przyjazny, troskliwy i pomocny, oferujący herbatę z uśmiechem na twarzy - wielkie dzięki! Część pokoi ma przepiękny widok na Hagia Sofia i dla tego widoku wróciłem do tego hotelu po kilkunastu latach i zdecydowanie warto te pokoje rezerwować. Śniadanie o dość podstawowym wyborze, ale wystarczające, również mile serwowane przez obsługującą panią.

Cons:

Nie jest tak, że mi się nie podobało, bo byłem już tam wcześniej i wróciłem co samo w sobie coś znaczy, ale warto wiedzieć, ze hotel jest mały, dość stary, zatem bez windy, pokoje są raczej niewielkie z dobrym wyposażeniem, ale mającym już swoje lata. Jest oczywiście klima, duża szafa, ładny wystrój, ale rozmiar pokoi na zdjęciach jest przesadzony, minusem jest też brak lodówki w pokoju. Jak więc ktoś lubi duże powierzchnie tam takich nie znajdzie. To wszystko nie zmienia faktu, że obsługa, położenie i widok z okna z nawiązką nadrabiają wszelkie niedoskonałości wynikające z wieku obiektu, wszystko co jest potrzebne do pobytu w Stambule tam jest a nic nie zastąpi uśmiechu na twarzy recepcjonisty.
