This small and cozy property was tucked in an alley way just behind the Hagia Sophia. The breakfast offered was a pleasant variety. It is a 5-10 minute walk from the grand area of the Hagia Sophia and Sultanahmet mosques. There is a small convenience shop just around the corner. It is steps away from the city tram, bus stops, shopping and restaurants.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
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.

Excellent budget option near all the sights in Sultanahmet. Very friendly staff, nice clean room, comfortable bed, and great breakfast with a view. They also stored our luggage for us before and after we checked out so we could explore town. I would stay here again.

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

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
First, we got a smelly room with a broken air conditioning. They supposedly fixed the air conditioning and "open the windows" during the day for the wet smell. The third day we got a second room on the third floor, we discovered they turned off the AC during de day and manipulate the AC thermostat from the lobby. Horrible, the receptionists are rude, and they constantly asked us to wait for the AC technicians to come to fixed the AC. Overall, the property condition does not match the pictures on the Expedia website neither the reviews. We spent 6 nights there and I do not recommend nobody to stay at that hotel.

Central placering og venligt personale

Central lokation, hvis man vil besøge de store attraktioner, men derfor også lidt turistet område, men tæt på offentlig transport til andre dele af byen. Venligt personale, dejlig terrasse (men pas på fuglene), stort udvalg til morgenmad, okay værelser og roligt område (på nær en enkelt nat med fest på hostel ved siden af).

Zeynep Sultan Hotel

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.
