This hotel is a small, hidden gem. The location couldn’t get closer to several of the main sights. The service is extremely personable. Our room was cozy and clean. At breakfast, Rambo is so great! He’ll make you fresh eggs and make you feel so welcomed! Front desk staff is great!

My favorite hotel in Turkey!!

This hotel is my absolute favorite! I stay here every time I visit Istanbul! It is located a block from the Hagia Sofia, Blue Mosque and Sultanahmet Square in the walled old city. This is a boutique hotel with excellent service. The ownership and staff remain constant and I’m always delighted when they remember me when I return! If you’re interested in visiting the Grand Bazaar, which is always great fun, it is just two or three stops from where you catch the city train at Sultanahmet Square. The hotel can provide guidance on how and where to purchase a very inexpensive ticket.

I absolutely loved my stay at Valide Sultan Konağı in Istanbul. It’s such a wonderful hotel with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The cleanliness stood out from the moment we arrived—everything was spotless and well-maintained. A huge thank you to Ramazan, who made our stay extra special. He went out of his way to arrange a thoughtful birthday gift for my son, which was such a kind and memorable gesture. Breakfast was another highlight, especially with Ramazan’s special eggs—cooked to perfection and a great way to start the day. The location couldn’t be better—just a 3-minute walk to Aya Sofya and situated right behind Topkapi Palace. It made exploring Istanbul so easy and convenient. With its amazing staff, perfect location, and welcoming atmosphere, I can’t recommend Valide Sultan Konağı enough. It’s the ideal place to stay in Istanbul!
