VERY quiet. Clean. Linens looked brand new. Room is a little small, but it was fine for me. Centrally located. Great breakfast. Looking forward to returning in a few days.
The hotel was lovely, looks like they dont clean under the beds though. The man at the counter charged us 60 eur for airport transfer when there was a sign stating 50 eur. Overall, very nice place. Breakfast was delish, and very close to all the attractions. I would def stay there again, but I would be clear on the airport transfer, as I feel we were over charged 10 eur.
Liked Location, breakfast lots of options to choose from complimentary tea and biscuits in evening Mr Murat was very helpful and friendly he offered me his signature plum juice!! and so do Manager who made special spread for my daughter.
I would like to see bit more effort on cleaning room floor i.e sweeping and mopping on daily basis also cleaning w.c

I used this hotel for my guests. They liked very much.
Very good location.
Hotel is near everything- Topkapi palace, Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, shopping, tram, restaurants, etc. Hotel was clean, safe, and friendly staff - Cute Turkish vibe.
For the price this hotel is very well located to the main sights and tram stops. Despite being located in a very busy area, the hotel itself is on a little quiet road and it was peaceful all night.
Inexpensive hotel right down the street from the Hagie Sophia. Hotel was clean, breakfast was good, staff was very friendly. At that price point I was expecting less, so I was very happy with this hotel. Would stay here again.
The terrace for breakfast and afternoon tea is wonderful – view of the Zeynep Sultan mosque directly adjoining and the Hagia Sophia behind it. Wonderful place to relax before/after spending time in a busy city. The very friendly staff made me feel very welcome and my stay was especially enjoyable.
Such a cute room in the heart of Istanbul. It was cozy size but perfect for my solo travel. Rooftop breakfast area was a beautiful view and was delicious. Staff helped me arrange for transportation and having the mini bar was also a nice convenience.
Very friendly staff, clean room, really good AC, delicious breakfast, and the hotel is at the heart of Istanbul. They have transfers from the hotel to wherever you wanted to go. We will definitely come back!
Small boutique hotel strategically located near the most famous attractions and walkable distance from most places.
Good breakfast on a nice terrace with nice views.
Couple of things to improve: air con wasn’t efficient and hot water at busy periods was like dripping our (lack of pressure, a pump should be installed).
Other than that, free coffee and biscuits offered between 5-7pm
Would definitely recommend
Fantastic location for main attractions, Less than ten minutes from blue mosque, Hagia Sophia and Topkapi. Very clean, helpful and courteous staff. Good variety at breakfast, tea, coffee, hot and cold buffet style.
Nice touch with tea, coffee between 5 and 7 every day. Can see Hagia Sophia from breakfast area which is on roof. Within five min walk of two tram station s Gulhane and Sultanahmet. Room service everyday and tea coffee making facility in room. Would definitely return.
We booked a triple room for 4 nights at this hotel. We had a comfortable stay, the rooms were clean, beautifully decorated and furnished in neutral colours. The hotel is located on a side street leading to the tram stops. It’s in a convenient location within walking distance to famous land marks of Sultanahmet area, shops and restaurants. The breakfast was enjoyable with a large selection of hot and cold options. The reception staff were friendly and helpful. A big thank you to Suleyman. I would recommend this hotel.
For parking, you have to leave the car keys to the staff for them to be able to arrange the cars in the parking. Just mentioning to let others know. Overall, the hotel meet my expectations. Definitely recommend. It is also very convenient located, within walking distance to many touristic attractions, close to restaurants and a small convenience store

The Hotel Zeynep Sultan is very conveniently located and walkable to the major historical sites eg. Hagia Sofia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, the Basilica Cistern, etc. The housekeeping is immaculate. The staff couldn't be nicer or more accommodating. They were very helpful. Breakfast is in a lovely roof top area. However, the rooms can be very small by American standards. My first room didn't have a closet or wardrobe. To enter the bathroom, I had to turn sideways (see photo). My second visit was in a better and slightly larger room. I would try for larger quarters the next time.
