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.

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.

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.

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.
