The location was absolutely spot on for the Blue Mosque & Hagia Sophia and other historical sights locally. The hotel itself was a traditional Turkish converted house, quite old (200yrs old?), with a steep spiral staircase (no elevator so not really suitable for anyone with movement disabilities) but a place that is full of character. The rooms comfortable but basic, and the bed comfortable. The staff were excellent and really made this trip for us. They were helpful, engaging and nothing was too much to help our stay. Breakfast was very good and extensive. The hotel arranged a car from the airport for us at 5 in the morning (arrival) and 3.30 am (departure). This was our first time to Istanbul and whilst a short 3 day trip, we packed a lot in. The hotel staff were truly helpful in arranging things for us to make our stay enjoyable.

Would we stay here again? Yes.

The location was quiet (apart from the \"call to prayers\" a few times a day being next to the Blue Mosque), excellent and whilst the hotel itself was small and basic, that did not matter as the services was excellent, and the location convenient. If you want a basic accommodation near all the historical sites, and don't mind staying in a boutique style hotel, and not a mainstream 'Marriott' type hotel, then you will enjoy this place.

My wife and I spent six nights at this property. I had booked a double street-view room, but for the first night, we were placed in a very tiny back room. In the morning, the manager reached out to apologize for the mistake and moved us to a larger (not much) street-view room. The property is quite old, which wouldn't usually be an issue, but the housekeeping and overall maintenance were lacking. Breakfast is basic, but the location is perfect.

Great location, owner and staff were friendly and informative. Breakfast was decent and the breakfast ladies were very nice. It's an older place so if you are expecting new feel you won't get it here but for price/location/value you can't beat this spot! Incredible view of the Blue Mosque from the rooftop deck.

I booked and paid in advance for 6 nights at Hotel Sultan Hill. On arrival they couldn't find my booking. Eventually they gave me a room. It was a super hot day and after a long journey I wanted a shower. There was no water. Even the toilet wouldn't flush. This was not the fault of the hotel, I was advised plumbing works were in progress in the street. Ok. However the staff really didn't care and offered no solution.
One night I was out late with friends, the receptionist called my personal mobile phone to ask where I was!?
In the afternoon of day 3, after my room had not been cleaned once yet I requested new towels.
Another morning the owner proceeded to scold me for going out late and coming back early. I am a 50 year old woman! His reasoning, after I suggested he was not my father was they were waiting for me to return to clean my room. What?! You wait for the guest to be insitu to clean? They did not then clean my room.
On the morning of check out I was getting myself ready. Thankfully I was already dressed. I hear my door unlock. I go to greet whom I expect to be housekeeping, marvelling that they come on my last morning. No, it was another guest. She stared at me, bewildered that I was in \"her\" room. Turns out she confused which floor she was on and went to her door on autopilot. No problem except that HER ROOM KEY OPENED MY DOOR!!! We proceeded to have surprise and concern. Both our keys opened all doors. Do not stay here. You and your property are not safe!

I stayed here only for one night for an overnight transfer, not expecting much other than the hotel near the Blue Mosque, which I failed to visit the last time. It turned out to be that the stay here was the best memory I had in Istanbul - memorable with the help of wonderful Ali the Concierge. I will come back this year, Ali, no matter what! You opened up my mind and rekindled my passion for travel. But of course, I won't forget leaving the key with you next time I come back. Please excuse me for that...

Fabulous location. Unbelievable view of Blue Mosque from rooftop terrace. It is not a five-star hotel, so obviously not modernised and glamorous. Breakfast was great. Staff were friendly and helpful. The rooftop terrace is such an incredible space, but a bit dirty and unkept. It would be easily upgraded with a few potplants and umbrellas :) The breakfast area was lovely with a little outside garden.

Good stay~

A quaint lodging in the heart of the old town. It is an old building but very well maintained.
Right behind the Blue Mosque. Sofia, the museum, and the T1 stop are very close, so it's convenient.
The main square with the obelisk is always guarded by the police so it is safe and very quiet at night.
From the roof of this hotel you can see the sea and the roof of the Blue Mosque.
The staff are also very friendly.

The only downside is that the shower head in the bathroom is fixed, so it's inconvenient to have to wash your hair always.

I stayed for one week at the Sultan Hill Hotel, we were a family of 6 people. I have to say it was one of best hotels I’ve stayed in thus far. The hotel staff were absolutely amazing, friendly and hospitable, especially the owner Ali. The facilities were above expectation, including very good wifi and good cleaning service. Our rooms were cleaned to a very high standard every day and very good air conditioning. We had a tasty complementary breakfast everyday. The best feature is the location of the hotel, it is a 5 minute walk to Hagia Sophia and 10 minutes walk to the Blue Mosque, nearby to the grand bazar. You will be situated at the heart of Istanbul - this is a unbelievable deal for the price !!! Will definitely be visiting again.

Very clean hotel, theres no lift, (5 floors) so if you have a problem with stairs then ask for a room on a lower floor. floors didnt particularly bother me however.
Price for hotel was very good, very reasonable. Breakfast was tasty and they will make a nce omelette if you wish for a small fee

I liked the location, close to everything I needed for my stay. Front desk staff spoke English which was so helpful since many people in this city don’t speak English and It was difficult to communicate through out my stay. Staff are very friendly and social. They always great and kind. Breakfast was always good and generous. Building is old and can use updates. There are no elevators and bringing heavy suitcases up the tiny staircase were extremely challenging. There is small fridge in the room but it doesn’t keep anything cold. The wood floors are very rough and need a touch up. The internet was slow and we didn’t have much connection through our stay which was disappointing. Rooms are cleaned well and staff are very nice and hosted us great.

You can't get any closer to the Blue Mosque than this. A short walk puts you right in the Hippodrome. Plenty of food options and shops around. The hosts (and their cats) were wonderful. The rooms are smaller (typical European B&B) but we didn't spend much time in them. Keys get left at the front desk when you leave for the day so be aware of that. No issues with people entering while we were away.

Pro tip: Don't let the carpet dealer next door suck you into a conversation.

I had a two night stay inn Hotel Sultan Hill in October and absolutely loved it. The location is 10/10, it really is just a five minutes walk from the Blue Mosque and the Palace.

I've been to Istanbul a few times and the Old Town is my favourite location and this little gem of a hotel is lovely, really clean, lovely breakfast, staff were really nice and very helpful.

I am hoping to go back in January and will be staying back here.

Great location; Enjoyed my stay

The location is fantastic; right in the heart of the many tourist highlights of Sultanahmet. The hotel is a quaint boutique hotel, with great service and a very nice breakfast. WiFi was stable and fast. Air Conditioning worked well, but shut off while out of the room, so it took about 15-20 minutes to re-cool the room each time I returned from an outing; not a big deal, but a little annoying.

Great location.

The hotel is very well placed at the end of the Hippodrome with many important sights close at hand and an easy walk from the new Istanbul Airport bus (TL18). The staff are friendly and helpful, the hotel is well kept and the rooms are nicely furnished. There was a fridge and hairdryer in the room but no tea /coffee making facilities. The stairs are sometimes dark as the light is self activated. The breakfast is good.

This gem of a traditional style hotel is in an excellent location minutes to the Blue Mosque. Though not large, we had a lovely clean room on the 3rd floor with a view of the Blue Mosque, fridge, air con, clean bathroom, good shower with constant hot water.
Staff were very friendly and helpful,gave excellent sightseeing tips and were happy to book tours at advantageous prices.
A delicious and varied buffet style breakfast is served from 8am to 11am in the clean, spacious dedicated breakfast room with outside seating available.

Loved the breakfast—-so many options, all fresh and delicious—-and the breakfast staff were so friendly and helpful.

The location is ideal, and I loved hearing the call to prayer, even the earliest one.

One semi-negative is that sound carried between rooms; not the hotel’s fault—-rather a structural issue—-but disturbing at times.

Great location, great price.

Amazing hotel for the price. The hotel was located near to Sultanahmet (blue) mosque and Sofia Hagia.

The bed was comfortable and the room was clean.

The staff were friendly, helpful and gave great advise on our trip.

The hotel is only 7 minutes from the T1 tram which will take you to the Grand Bazar and the Spice Bazar
We plan to stay there again the next time we are there.

Hotel Sultan Hill is in an excellent location next to the Blue Mosque and the Arasta Bazaar (bring earplugs as the morning prayer begins before sunrise). Ali, the owner, was friendly and readily made suggestions for what to see and how to save money on activities. Breakfast has a nice selection of items. There is no elevator, so if mobility is an issue, make sure your room is not on an upper floor.

Cannot recommend.

The staff was very kind and friendly, especially Ali who answered questions, gave us helpful information and remembered our name when he spoke to us. The location was good too. However, we had some issues here. Upon arrival, there was a very strong odor in our room which we believe was coming from the bathroom pipes. We opened the windows a little, turned on the exhaust fan in the bathroom and told Ali. He said he could move us the following day if it did not improve. When returning later that day, we noticed the same odor elsewhere in the hotel. This lead us to believe that it may be an issue with the old historic building. The odor in our room had not gone away entirely, but matters had improved. We felt that relocating may not change matters and elected to stay in the room. The staff accommodated us by allowing us to leave the exhaust fan running while we were out. In addition, housekeeping made an extra effort cleaning our bathroom, but we do not feel this was a cleanliness issue. However, we feel that housekeeping overstepped their boundaries by moving our personal items. None of our belongings hindered their work, but we returned to find that many of our things were stored away inside cabinets and drawers. Lastly, when we returned the last day, we found our windows wide open. There were no screens on the window and it had also rained a little. In addition, the AC was running which we did not turn on.

Overall a good 3 night stay. Clean rooms, friendly staff and convenient location (10 minuet walk to major sites and city tram) on a narrow residential street. Good breakfast. Our room was small and clean - typical of many budget European hotels. No lift and narrow stair case combined with our room on level 4 was a inconvenience. Would recommend this hotel especially for budget minded travelers.
