The hotel is in a great location with all sites , shops and restaurants nearby.It is situated on an attractive street which is quite quiet. The staff were very friendly and helpful and would do anything they could to assist. The room l stayed in was spotless clean and very well maintained. Breakfast was lovely and very nicely served. A great place to stay.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great. They made an omelette or scrambled eggs individually for each guest and that was nice

Excelent stay. Steps to the blue mosque. Personnel is very helpful. I would like to mention breakfast lady si reception young guy. Definitely best choice for our style.
Nancy
I was appalled when we saw the actual hotel - the photos on the ad must have been photoshopped, because it looked nothing like the pics - especially our room. Room was tiny, was not 2 twin beds as requested and pictured, and the bedding consisted of a fitted sheet with no top sheet - just a cotton throw which did not reach the sides of the bed. I do wonder about the validity of the reviews on this hotel....they can't have had the same experience. The breakfast was good, and Sabir on reception was a huge help to us...kudos to him. I needed to go home 2 days early (medical emergency) but the management would not refund the last 2 nights.

So loud noise from the street. I couldn't sleep.

This hotel is remarkable for the price with its accommodating and helpful staff, easy walking to major sites and generous room size and basic necessities. This is a busy street and the noise comes through even with windows closed.
Muhammad Numan
Wry lovely place to stay, convenient to see all the major attractions around area, shops are literally everywhere for shopping and dining and most importantly hotel management very friendly and helpful. I arrived at 3 o’clock in the morning and they let me check in without any hassle and offered all the support I needed. I definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants good place to stay as well as shopping and dining at their doorstep.

Rishab
My brother and I had an amazing stay here. The property was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. There was a really nice breakfast that was provided each morning, which included freshly cooked eggs that they started making when you arrived. Was really impressed by the breakfast as it was much better than most hotels I’ve stayed at. This property was also in walking distance of all the activities we had in Istanbul which was really convenient.
The best part was the staff. Everybody was extremely friendly and made us feel at home. All the staff members talked with us and asked us how our day was, and answered all our questions. The main front desk man even helped us book a taxi to the airport for the last day which was really helpful. All of them are great people and they will go above and beyond to help you in any way possible.
Definitely recommend this place to anyone staying in Istanbul. We will be back here next time we visit.

Tiene una inmejorable ubicacion, muy cerca caminando a todas las principales atracciones de la ciudad y de estación de tranvias. Barrio muy lindo, tranquilo y muy seguro.

we had a beautiful stay at the Sultan Mehmed hotel. Mehmet, and the rest of the staff made sure our stay is comfortable. Mehmet was generous with ideas of where to go and where to eat. He was always available to offer assistance and show us on the map the best way to reach places. (and also supplied us with a public transportation card). His restaurant recommendations were good. He stayed up late every night till we returned and woke up with us at 5 am when we were departing. The room was clean and was tended to every day. Breakfast was nice and was served by two lovely girls. Tea and coffee are available at the lobby all day. The location of the hotel is excellent. We returned every afternoon to rest and recuperate and then went out again. Mehmet is fluent in English which made our stay ten times better. Would whole heartedly recommend this hotel.

I loved my stay at Sultan Mehmed. I had a small but comfortable room with a great shower. Breakfast was a feast of cold cuts, cheese, fruits, breads and eggs cooked to your preference and served by 2 delightful girls who couldn’t do enough for you.
The hotel is a 5 minute stroll from both the Blue Mosque and Agia Sophia, the tram stop and various reasonable eateries.
Mehmed, the owner, is a mine of useful and interesting information and it was a pleasure to be in his company.
I would return to this comfortable and welcoming hotel in a heartbeat.

I had a wonderful experience at the Sultan Mehmed hotel. The moment I checked in, Mehmet was there to give me amazing feedback and information about my stay and sites to visit. Throughout the whole time there, Mehmet and the staff went out their way to make my time accommodating.
The hotel is conveniently located in the Sultanahmet district, where many of Istanbul’s major attractions are.
I highly recommend booking a stay at this hotel. The great hospitality and experience will want me to come back in the future.

Best place in Instanbul to stay
We had this site for a 3 day layover - been to Instanbul several times already and was looking for a 3 day rest and to see what the locals do - which we did with the help of the manager - fantastic is not strong enough - he even loaned us his metro card for the subway - he had spent several years in the USA in Austin, TX and Santa Barbara CA - so english was perfect and he knows US politics - made for great morning conversations - did I mention they make you a custom breakfast every morning - room was great - could see the spire of the Blue Masque and was only 5 minutes literally away - super safe - and next time we go back next year will spend at least a week at this hotel.

I chose Sultan Mehmed solely on the ratings and what previous guests had said, and I was very happy that I did.
It is the perfect small hotel in a relatively quiet location, but near everything you might want to see. It is updated, spotless, has a delicious breakfast, and most importantly, the best staff you could hope for. As all of the other reviews attest to, the friendliness of the staff, from check-in, to service at breakfast, housekeeping, etc.--all are magnificent.
Mehmet will make you feel as though you have your own personal tour guide, one who can detect your likes and dislikes. He will steer you in a certain direction one day, another direction the next day, but it is always what you are looking for and wanting to see, whether you know it or not. That is quite a feat in a city of 15 million+.
I would not hesitate to stay at Hotel Sultan Mehmed again.

Fantastic !!
This hotel was amazing in it's offerings. The location was great, and it gets full marks in overall cleanliness and service but what makes it extra amazing was the attitude of both the owner and manager. They were very helpful and friendly and helped us make fantastic decisions for our road trip later. With their positive friendly nature and literally no issues in service, it pretty much felt like staying over at a friend's house! The manager Ali had become such a friendly face for our daughter that she renamed the place as Party Hotel! Both Mehmed and Ali were amongst the most genuinely helpful and friendly people in our stay in Turkey and we did stay in a number of other cities and hotels. All in all, 10 outta 10!
Rebecca
Nice hotel. Very convenient location.
Very good choice. Safe, clean and strategically situated. Above all, the genuine care and amiability of the staff makes the stay very agreable. Mehmed and Ali are obviously walking the extra mile to make their guests feel home. It's highly appreciated indeed.

The warmth and friendliness is the best I have ever experienced. The hotel owners go that extra mile to make sure your all your needs are met. Trust me this is the place to stay!

Family Hotel with an awesome owner!
We had initially made a reservation with this hotel for four nights and had left open an option for another hotel when we would return from Capadocia. But our stay at this hotel was so amazing that we decided to come back and stay here for another 4 nights. I don't know where to start from. The Hotel was centrally located and was very close from all the historical sites and was five to seven minutes walk from the tram station. The rooms were nice and spacious with mixed blend of modern Turkish architecture. The breakfast was amazing with varieties of eggs, cheese, fruits, breads etc. The best part about of the hotel was its staff and more specifically its owner i.e. Mehmed. He is one amazing guy. He took personal interest in the services that were provided to us. He guided us to all the right places and helped us plan our trip perfectly.
We would highly recommend this hotel to everybody.

Mehmet is 5 stars
Prime location...everything you want or need to see is within waking distance...the rooms are modern and up to date with comfortable beds...but what you can't put a price tag is on Mehmet...he owns the hotel and he is AMAZING...truly the best and most kind host...he genuinely cares about each guest and wants to make your Turkey experience unforgettable...this is the only hotel I would stay at when I return...I am lucky to know Mehmet and now call him a friend...

Perfect location, excellent hospitality & service
In summary – perfect location, excellent hospitality & service. I highly recommend this small hotel. I stayed in this hotel twice – at the start of my Turkey adventure and my last night before flying back home. Management and staff are commended for their friendly and helpful assistance. Breakfast was the same each morning but enjoyable with a good selection of bread, fruit, cheese etc. and a choice of how you want your eggs cooked. The rooms I stayed in are small but very comfortable and functional (plenty of well-appointed power outlets, great water pressure, plenty of hot water, excellent air conditioning). I enjoyed relaxing in the quiet small courtyard at the back of the hotel.

Very satisfied.
I couldn't be more pleased with our stay. We asked for help with an early checkin and all was ready for us at 10:30 a.m. Everyone was helpful and kind. The location is amazing - just two blocks from the Blue Mosque. Mehmet and his staff helped us find great restaurants, gave helpful suggestions for seeing the area, served a great breakfast and made sure we we understood the directions / map of the area. I hope we can stay there again; I highly recommend it.

The owner was a great host. Great location
This was my 3rd leisure trip to Istanbul. This is a great place and location. Arrived late in the evening and were met by host/owner and he invited us to the really nice back outside lounge for a beer. In the morning they provide a Turkish breakfast, which was very filling, great diversity, and all the coffee of tea you want. Rooms are comfortable and clean with private bathroom. I highly recommend this place. Only a few rooms so not a lot of traffic. But a very short walk to the Aya Sofia, Blue Mosque, Bazar, Hippodrome, transportation. I am 65, from the USA, travel a lot, often stay in Hostels. I Highly recommend.

THE Place To Stay In SULTANAHMET!
We found this boutique hotel after a lot of internet research and it more than met our expectations. We stayed twice - once for three nights in a standard room, and then again for two nights in a superior room. Both rooms were very comfortable, with king-size beds, and roomier than we had expected for a location in the heart of Sultanahmet district - just 10 minutes' walk from the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and Topkapi Palace. Unbelievable personal attention from the owner, who responded promptly to all emails before our arrival and then literally spent hours giving us tips on various attractions/tours. All in all, staying at this charming hotel was one of the most memorable highlights of our 10-day trip to Turkey. The fact that we could leave our luggage in hotel safekeeping while traveling to other places in Turkey and that the owner was kind enough to let us keep the 110-220 volt converter we had borrowed from him during those travels were simply icings on the cake. We can't recommend this hotel highly enough!

A great hotel - I have to rate it 5
The hotel itself is in the historical Sultanahmet area. It is not far from the Blue Mosque and very near the Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, Hagia Irene. Close to the Tram and Metro. One could even walk to the Grand and Spice Bazaar if you have the time. The are is quiet, away from crowds. The other areas of Istanbul is accessible via Tram, metro and buses.
The owner was very kind and warm to us. He gave us good pointers- what to see and what to avoid in terms of tourist traps and not so safe places. He even cooked our breakfast once. Speaking of breakfast, it was great- consisting of some meat, three kinds of cheeses, different kind of bread, fruits, eggs, some sweets, and various types of hot and cold drinks- coffee, tea, juices. The staff were helpful.
The room was very clean and the hotel was not run down but well maintained. The owner really takes pride in his hotel

Great location, very kind and helpful owner, staff
The location is truly the best, in the middle of the ancient and medieval city. The owner, Mehmet, is wonderful, kind, friendly, generous, helpful. The staff are all kind. My family and I were very impressed and we've travelled a lot throughout the world.

Wonderful hotel in Sultanahmet
We stayed here for four nights prior to an eleven night cruise. I'm glad I did my research, as there was plenty of room for our suitcases. Many of the hotels in the old town have very small rooms. This facility has been recently renovated, and provides the superior amenities American and European travelers seek.
From the moment we were warmly welcomed by a Turk with a New Zealand/English accent, and sense of humor to go with it, I knew we had the right place. The included breakfast was great, staff helpful and friendly, and the area quiet and safe, but also very close to all the sights. We walked to everything.

Lovely hotel close to the main sites
A really welcoming hotel. Comfortable rooms only five minutes' walk from the Blue Mosque and other sites. A small garden for breakfast and relaxation. Free tea coffee and cake - and reasonably priced drinks. Staff for whom nothing is too much trouble - even guiding you to a restaurant for dinner.

Lovely hotel in perfect position
Lovely room . Modern, clean and comfortable with powerful walk-in shower . Hotel in perfect position only 5 minute walk from both the Blue Mosque + Arasta Bazaar and in the other direction, from Little Aya Sofya. Surrounded by cafés and some shops. We arrived at around 9.30am but were able to access our room immediately. Very friendly helpful staff who offered tips on sightseeing, loaned us umbrellas and booked taxi to airport after first telling us an approximate price. Tasty Turkish breakfast with fresh fruit and cooked to order eggs in outdoor courtyard or indoors.
