The hotel location is perfect and staffs are generally good. The restaurant charged three different rates for the breakfast and that was annoying.

The food was delicious, the staff were friendly and attentive, and the service was consistently top-notch. All the facilities were well-maintained and met our needs perfectly. Everything about our stay was good – nothing fell short of what we hoped for. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

The service is on a very high level. This hotel in sultanahmed is definitely my favourite so far!

Hands down the best hotel in Istanbul esp w baby

We wanted to stay in the old city/Sultahnamet, but the issue we came across was that most hotels there are boutique and small. The bigger ones were on the other side across the bridge, but we wanted to be near the main historical sites. Four Seasons Sultahnamet delivered in ways we could not have imagined. They gave us early check in at 9 am, upgraded our room so we'd have more space with a baby, put a crib, basket of baby goods, bath towels, and rubber ducks for our baby without asking. Everyone acknowledged you whenever they saw you. The rooms were exceptionally clean and there's room service twice a day. They even notice little things you may need i.e. makeup brush holder. The beds are so comfortable that we got some of the best sleep ever. The staff is SO friendly. I could go on and on about this place! Plus, it was a 3 minute walk to the square where Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque are, so the location was perfect!

My husband and I stayed one night at the four seasons after staying three nights at the Shangri-La Bosporus and I have to say that the shangri-la was far better. The four seasons staff were all very nice but we expected better from the room itself and for the hotel to be more spacious. The balcony is kind of strange and if I stand on my tippy toes I can see into the other rooms balcony. Breakfast was nice but once again nothing special. Essentially there was nothing special about the four seasons and it definitely does not live up to the hype or prestige. Overall nothing special.

Amazing hotel with exceptional service. We traveled with a toddler and they went above and beyond to make our experience fantastic - fully prepared crib when we checked in along with new toys, diapers, diaper creams, baby toiletries, etc for our daughter. They also decorated our room with balloons when they found out we were expecting a new baby boy. Every day there was some special treat (fruit platter, desserts, etc) that were dropped off for us and our daughter to make our stay special. Perfect location within walking distance to everything in the Sultanahmet. The restaurants and facilities also all so beautiful. Staff were very helpful in making reservations for us to Topkapi palace and other attractions. they have a service that waits in line for you to buy tickets so that you don’t have to wait in line. One porter/bellman went above and beyond - when he found out a taxi driver overcharged us for a ride, he ran down the street and chased down the driver and got us the money back that we had overpaid, was completely unexpected. Free shuttle to Four Seasons Bosphorus with access to their pool /spa facilities which we took advantage of. Will definitely stay again next time we are in Istanbul.

Best Concierge ever “Sabuhi Yavuzer” let him handle all your plans, also check in was smooth welcoming great with Onur and Emrah. We will be returning soon.

We are Four Season fans and the history and position of this hotel was interesting for us. It was perfectly located for what we wanted and the staff and food were amazing. Sadly we left not feeling at all valued though. The hotel wasn’t busy and yet we were located in a room with no view and with an interconnecting door. This meant that we were constantly disturbed by the occupants from the interconnecting room. It wasn’t their fault but we could hear everything, them talking at 5am, early alarms and then endless more alarms as they kept pressing snooze etc. I am sure you can imagine other noises we could hear too. On checkout we fed back very politely our feelings of not being at all valued and were told ‘thank you for your feedback as we can learn from this and we look forward to welcoming you back’. We wanted a wonderful two night stay as we expect from our Four Seasons visits and not to provide feedback for you to learn from. We are very disappointed and left exhausted from being so disturbed and will never return.

Excellent location for sight seeing & luxurious

Excellent location for sightseeing. The hotel staff are really welcoming and attentive. The decor is quite dated in the public areas, and traditional in the rooms. The restaurant is very good, but again the decor doesn't really suit the building. The bar is small and again they could have decorated it better. The basics are all very good - shower, bed, pillows, linen, mini bar, wardrobe space... towels should be larger and robes were a bit odd! On the whole a really lovely experience to be repeated.

Location, Location, Location with Limited Time

The hotel has an excellent location near all the historic monuments. The property is older and it certainly needs some renovation and upgrade on the furniture. The rooms are large and spacious and come fully equipped with a coffee machine, hot tub and stand up shower. The dental kit is superb. The sauna is not hot enough and the max temperature isn’t sufficient to break a real sweat. The gym has quality equipment and the staff is very nice and helpful. Overall good stay. the drawbacks are that ubers cannot find their way to the hotel and never want to drop you off at the right back. Also, the traffic is out of control so getting over to the european side is a trek. The european side has all the great food and better places to walk around and shop. So if you are in the city for 2-3 days then this is the best option near the historic sights.

I rarely write reviews, however The Four Seasons Istanbul at Sultanahmet was the best hotel I have ever stayed in. The hotel staff, especially Jam at the front desk, is friendly, helpful and always willing to go the extra mile to help. The rooms are charming, the amenities lovely, and the bedding heavenly. The food served at the hotel restaurant is delicious and room service was prompt. The hotel is located in the best area for reaching the major sites and I walked everywhere alone and always felt safe. The staff at the hotel did everything they could to make my stay a memorable experience. It was and I did not want to leave! Thank you Jam and all the staff at this Four Seasons. , Sincerely Susan Whitman
