Sultan Hamit Hotel

Special credit must be given to the two wonderful ladies at the Reception desk, who seem to manage the hotel extremely well. Always smiling, cheerful and friendly. In fact all the staff are excellent. The bed is very comfortable, nice towels and toiletries and the rooms are cleaned every day. For a long stay (a week) I recommend an upper room with sea view, as the other rooms are smaller than they appear on the website. The soundproofing is not brilliant between the floors and the room and the corridor. And people nowadays are not respectful of their fellow guests unfortunately, talking loudly on their phones and in the corridors. But to more positive things.... breakfast was good (again the Breakfast attendant lady was great). The location is excellent near the main sites and there is a taxi rank close by. We last went to Istanbul 15 years ago..... prices have risen dramatically, especially the restaurants and major sites, but we are very happy to recommend this hotel.

Very nice stay. The staff was incredibly nice helpful and very caring. The room was clean and nice. Breakfast was very complete (except for fruit of bread options) and the schedule was also perfectly oriented for tourist attractions. The hotel could not be nearer to the main important buildings, Topkapi palace, Santa Sofía, The blue Mosque… The hotel was quite new but the fridge was not working properly and made a lot of noise at night. Overall it was a very nice and pleasant stay. If you come to Instambul I would strongly recommend this hotel for your stay. Although I think the rooms are not suitable for more than a couple, if you come with kids it will be necessary to book a bigger room (I do not know if they have it)

Amazing stay at Sultan Hamit Hotel! Cosy, friendly, and very welcoming—early check-in was kindly arranged for us. The staff organised a great Bosphorus tour and Galata Tower photo shoot, and the food was absolutely delicious. Special thanks to the two lovely ladies at reception for their exceptional service. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I came in the beginning of August with my family for 10 days and it was fantastic. The location was perfect by being so close, just 5-10 minutes to the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace and to the coastline too, as well as being in the proximity of many great restaurants. The staff gave absolutely amazing service too. When we arrived early in the morning, someone came out immediately to take our luggage to our rooms and the check-in was super quick and easy. The staff were so helpful in giving us directions and tips about getting around Istanbul. The breakfast buffet was brilliant with such a wide variety of foods too and we all had a great time. We will definitely come again when returning to Istanbul! Big shout out and once again thank you to Oumaima, Omina, Sedat, Adem, Burak, Emin, and to the rest of the wonderful and helpful staff at Sultan Hamit Hotel who gave great service. A memorable holiday to Istanbul. InshaAllah see you all again next year.

Just spent 3 nights at the Sultan Hamit hotel. It's exsactly the right hotel for a short stay. Very Clean rooms and public areas. Very comfortable rooms: massive double bed, ensuite bathroom, hair dryer, shower, bathrobes, toiletries. slippers, water, fridge, tea & coffee, safe - all included . Breakfast was included and was very good quality but don't expect a Full English. Complimentary snacks in the restaurant each day - great for a restful coffee with the group, after a day's sightseeing. Excellent staff, especially at Reception. Super location, a short walk to Blue Mosque and other top visitor attarctiions. Even closer to bars, restaurants and quality craft outlets. (There probably isn't a poor eatery in Instanbul). There may be better hotels, in minor details or with a swimming pool BUT I will certainly use this hotel again next time because I know I will not be disappointed. Note: There is nor bar but they will happily provide glasses for your own drinks. The hotel does not have a restaurant for luch & dinner but there's loads to choose from nearby. I will put this review of TripAdvisor also.

Absolutely fabulous 5 nights in this hotel. The rooms were great and we were lucky enough to be moved to a room with a sauna! The receptionists were super helpful, kind and nothing was too much bother. Everyone we met in Fatih area were so friendly and our 5 year old grandson was treated like a prince. Upon leaving the hotel we asked for a taxi to pick us up and as it was so early they offered sandwiches which we gratefully said yes to. These turned out to be whole baguettes for all of us. So so kind, we would love to go back some time in the future.

The hotel is obviously priced comparably cheaper than other hotels and it was stated it is a 3 star hotel so I was not expecting 5 star rooms. That being said, I wouldn’t stay there again. There was a foul sewerage smell coming from the shower drain, and I note other guests have mentioned this in their reviews. This needs to be fixed immediately and is unacceptable in my opinion. At certain times of the day you cannot use the toilet or shower due to the smell. Additionally the towels provided were no longer white and more of yellow colour with many stains. You would not want to use this after a shower. The carpet was highly stained. The breakfast was actually pretty good. The staff at reception and the breakfast area were quick and attentive and arranged airport transport for us. The room size could barely fit two people, although they listed the size on the website. The photos are definitely deceiving; some images show larger rooms for the room you are booking, when obviously it is not the case. If you opened two suitcases in the room, you literally couldn’t walk around. Overall disappointed with this booking. Would not recommend.
