Location
Location was perfect - so close to all attractions in the Old Town.
Room size
It was fine - not massive but did the job. It was clean throughout.
Bathroom
The bathroom was too small. You need to walk into the shower area to get to the toilet. I actually have a bruise from hitting the ledge when trying to exit the bathroom. The shower curtain has to rest on the toilet brush which we thought was unhygenic. Whilst the hammam bathroom looks good, it was very slippy which is not good for older people.
Breakfast
The view was beautiful but the food was not good except the honey from an actual honeycomb. The juices were all carton drinks. This is not what I was expecting from a Turkish breakfast.
Service
The service was brilliant. Halleel (man on reception in evening) was lovely and so knowledgable. He is a credit to the hotel.

Authentic Turkish Hotel
Lovely authentic Turkish Hotel very close to the Blue Mosque. Nice breakfast with a good view. Needed a little TLC but it was so authentic and close to everything it didn’t matter.

This hotel is right behind the Blue Mosque. Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern, Topkapi Palace and the Grand Bazaar are all within walking distance. A couple of blocks away are streets of restaurants, some of which have terrace dining with view of the mosques. It's a 300 year old historical building. Balcony has decent view. Breakfast is quite good. Front desk staff are very professional. They go out of their way to help us retrieve an item we have left behind in a restaurant near the Spice Bazaar. We would like to once again thank them publicly.

It was a wonderful hotel. We really enjoyed our complementary breakfast, surroundings.
Some staff members were not too happy about breakfast arrangements because of our earlier departure at 7:30 AM.
There is no elevator and it was difficult for my elderly mother to get to the third floor with her cane. Overall it was fantastic! The view from our room was spectacular! I would definitely com back.

The property is located in a nice area near the Blue Mosque and Arasta Bazaar. The facility is clean with good breakfasts. Our room was located in the corner of the third level with slanted roof. The bathroom was too small, specialty the shower area with low ceiling height and uncovered waterway trench near the door and the shower as a tripping hazard, a shower hose, and a sink right in the middle of the shower. The room was supposed to have a view of the Blue Mosque but you had to bend over to see the it through a window in a small sitting area. The bed did not include a sheet under the blanket. It took two days for the staff to take care of the issue.

Beautiful hotel in the heart of the old city, right across from the Blue Mosque. The location couldn't have been better. The hotel is older but beautifully and elegantly furnished. The rooms are small and our bathroom was tiny..but it's all part of the charm. The breakfast buffet was very good and served a variety of foods. We highly recommend this hotel

We really enjoyed our stay at the Sultanhannet Palace Hotel. The staff were friendly & helpful. We had the deluxe room with the beautiful blue mosque view it was beautiful. The room was very spacious with
balcony. The breakfast was good and fresh omelette to your taste cooked on request. We really like to thank Khalid & Namakul for all their help. We would definitely visit again and stay in this hotel. Thank you once again.
