Best Hotels, Sultanahmet, Istanbul

Here are the best Sultanahmet lodgings based on feedback from Turkey Travel Planner users:

LUXURY: Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul, on Tevkifhane Sokak, may be the best deluxe hotel in Turkey. Bosphorus views from the rooftop terrace, and it’s perfectly located within a few minutes’ walk of the city’s top sights. It’s often fully booked, so reserve well in advance!

UNBEATABLE LOCATION: Mavi Ev (Blue House) is just excellent, with smooth, friendly staff, modern comforts, and a location—right across the street from the Blue Mosque—that is nothing short of spectacular.

FAMILY-RUN BOUTIQUE INN: Sari Konak Oteli is really elegant for a small, family-run inn: tastefully furnished, with all the conveniences, and Byzantine ruins in the tiny terrace garden.

OTTOMAN INN: Dersaadet Oteli is on quiet Kapiagasi Sokak just a few minutes’ walk from the Blue Mosque, with a refined Ottoman boutique-hotel ambience and friendly staff.

VALUE-FOR-MONEY: More than you bargained for: the Apricot Hotel is convenient, comfortable and friendly, and the owner is out to make guests feel they’ve received more than they’ve paid for.

INEXPENSIVE: Terrace Guesthouse is tiny, but surprisingly inexpensive, given its perfect location just around the corner from the posh Four Seasons Hotel. It has what the Four Seasons conspicuously lacks: a grand view of the Bosphorus from its breakfast terrace.

MODERN STYLE: The Tan Hotel defies the trend toward Ottoman decoration, going instead for a modern upscale design in a supremely convenient location.

BACKPACKER HOSTEL: Antique Hostel & Guesthouse, on Kutlugün Sokak, is friendly, clean, quiet and convenient, with a view from the rooftop terrace that can’t be equalled by the posh Four Seasons Hotel nearby.
