Hamza
Good value for money.
Emin
Staff are very helpful, breakfast is good but they could offer more items like omelettes. Hotel is clean and well maintained. AC works very well. Location is excellent.
Charley
Perfect location. Near enough to walk to many sites. Istanbul is beautiful!
Frank
I highly recommend this small charming family run boutique -- helpful staff, personal attention, best view from a motel I've ever seen in 50 years of travel, very nice breakfast, and best location in Istanbul. Restaurant next door on 4th floor gives discount and is really nice with outdoor seating and nice views of sea. Highly recommend!
Mary
A lovely, clean hotel with an excellent breakfast, and attentive, fun staff. Safe and good value. The location is great but there is no garden or greenery to speak of.
Julie
Good location. Loved the breakfast and the view from the terrace. Room was very small and several things unfinished (door casings, threshold, etc). Would’ve been nice to have screens on the windows- I got a few mosquito bites at night…lovely and helpful staff.
Ishtiak
It’s very clean and great location
Mary
The location was outstanding. I enjoyed staying at a smaller hotel. The staff was helpful and friendly. Excellent breakfast. I would definitely stay there again, and have recommended it to friends.
Julie
This hotel went beyond my expectations. Amazing location, breakfast, service, etc.
Humberto
One of the best experiences. This is a family owned and managed place in a very convenient location. All the family staff are super attentive and made or stay memorable.
I definitely recomend this place to anyone visiting Istanbul.

Barry
Good stay with reservations.
The hotel put me in a double room in the basement which I objected to and they were gracious enough to quickly move me upstairs. I have been here numerous times and never was housed in the basement where service staff congregate. You might want to check to make sure you’re above ground.
Breakfast was good but no one made omelettes like they have in the past.

Hotel was spotless. Staff were extremely personable and welcoming.
Yali
The location is very convenient for visiting any landmark and train station. Even the room was small but the stuff services were very good and very nice. I am very appreciative for the stuff borrowed a metro card to me to take the public transactions and very helpful to guide me to visit the landmark.
Ayesha
The staff were very kind hospitable and lovely it was such a great stay, I felt safe and it is local to everything! Loved this hotel and would only come back to this hotel!
Emrah
Do not go here, total scam.
It was horrible. First no parking even though it says it has parking. We were charged extra for parking twice for 1 night lol. These people are straight liers and they argue to the end. Free breakfast wasn’t good but roof top is beautiful. Our air condition did not work and room was too small.
Aarty
Great location and amazing staff! Would highly recommend.
Verified traveler
The workers were wonderful. They got us taxis when we needed them and were picked up on time. The room was nice and clean. The food was great and the waiter was kind to everyone. They went out of their way to make sure we had a great time.
Kozhaya
The room had so many issues, no working phones to contact room service, the bathroom had a small window that did not have a mosquito screen, and you can’t close it so we were fighting mosquitoes all night. And to top all this, the staff was so unprofessional in dealing or lack of with those problems.
Seyit Hasan
It is a beautifully renovated historic building. I believe it’s the closest hotel to Topkapi Palace and Hagia Sophia.
Amina
Great location. Beautiful property
Michel
We had an excellent reception , all along, the room was small but very confortable, the location was excellent, we recommend strongly this hotel
Barry
Breakfast area overlooks the Sea of Marmara, stunning. Breakfast itself is adequate. Ramadan is a fantastic breakfast host. Room is adequate and cleaning is good. Hotel is very close to Hagia Sofia and Blue Mosque. Reception is attentive and helpful. No complaints about hotel.
shafighe
Nothing unique. The whole area of the room, bathroom/ shower is too small, even for me, and I am a petite person. The first room had a leakage in the shower. We were transferred to the 2nd room which was the same size (very small) with no Iron and a cheap facility.
Sorry, but I wouldn't recommend this place.

Verified traveler
Lovely stay - highly recommend
We stayed here for 4 nights. The staff are lovely and welcoming, especially Mr. Faysal and Mr. Ramazan \"Rambo\", who took the time to have tea with us and make us feel welcome during our stay. Location is superb, 5 mins away from Hagia Sofia so great if you want to get there early to line up for tickets. We really enjoyed breakfast and the view from the breakfast area is nice - you either see Hagia Sofia or the strait. Highly recommend this hotel if you're considering where to stay in the Sultanahmet area. We would return here if we are in Istanbul again.

Zareeda Akhtar
I absolutely loved my stay at Valide Sultan Konağı in Istanbul. It’s such a wonderful hotel with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The cleanliness stood out from the moment we arrived—everything was spotless and well-maintained.
A huge thank you to Ramazan, who made our stay extra special. He went out of his way to arrange a thoughtful birthday gift for my son, which was such a kind and memorable gesture. Breakfast was another highlight, especially with Ramazan’s special eggs—cooked to perfection and a great way to start the day.
The location couldn’t be better—just a 3-minute walk to Aya Sofya and situated right behind Topkapi Palace. It made exploring Istanbul so easy and convenient.
With its amazing staff, perfect location, and welcoming atmosphere, I can’t recommend Valide Sultan Konağı enough. It’s the ideal place to stay in Istanbul!

Great Boutique hotel in Great Location
On arrival offered a room with a sea view but advised it was smaller than standard. It did offer a good view and although on the smallish side was good enough for our requirements.
All the staff were really friendly and helpful offering good advice re where to eat and how to get around Istanbul.
Breakfast was ok, not your typical “full enhlish” and was on the top floor with great views. Rambo who organised the breakfast, and made a large omelette on request, is a real character who really looked after the guests.
Location was great as many of the places to visit are close by and only a short walk to a tram stop if going further afield.
Would highly recommend.

The hotel is lovely and more traditional Turkish style and nice size rooms, they treat everyone like family. All the staff are warm and embracing, really helpful.
Highly recommend this property for you stay, right next to Haigha Sofiya and Topkapi Palace. Arasta Bazaar is a short walk and Blue Mosque, everything is a short distance.
I would definitely stay at this hotel on my next visit to Istanbul.

susan
My favorite hotel in Turkey!!
This hotel is my absolute favorite! I stay here every time I visit Istanbul! It is located a block from the Hagia Sofia, Blue Mosque and Sultanahmet Square in the walled old city. This is a boutique hotel with excellent service. The ownership and staff remain constant and I’m always delighted when they remember me when I return!
If you’re interested in visiting the Grand Bazaar, which is always great fun, it is just two or three stops from where you catch the city train at Sultanahmet Square. The hotel can provide guidance on how and where to purchase a very inexpensive ticket.

Terrence
Excellent, caring staff. Owned by same family for 30 years. Still the best hotel in Sultanahmet. Superbly maintained. Best views.
Amna
Location is perfect for accessing key sites and tram line, with Hagia Sophia only 5 minutes up the hill. There is a beautiful small mosque on the doorstep for easy access and beautifully lead prayers.
The hotel was perfect for us, family run, relaxed and very friendly atmosphere.
Nothing was too much trouble for the three men on reception and chef Abdullah does a brilliant job with breakfast and stops to chat as he goes about his work.
Ramazan is probably the crown jewel of the place!
To sum it up, a charming team of staff that make this hotel what it is. Much preferred the feel of this place than the corporate, souless type

Neeraj
Great staff, awesome location, really good breakfast with awesome views.
The one major negative: The rooms are tiny. And I mean very very very small. Not even space to keep a single bag flat. Not even enough to open closet door fully. And only 1 power point in the room. For me, the room being so so small was unexpected and disappointing. Bathroom is small too - shower door opens inside the shower, I don't know if a large person can even manage to get in.
But 5* for the elderly gentleman helping at breakfast. What a good way to start the day.

I can’t praise this hotel enough. First there is hardly a better location for a tourist in all of Istanbul. It is THE closest hotel to Hagia Sophia (a place that gets huge lines in the day, but I strolled one minute from the hotel in the morning and had Hagia Sophia to myself). Breakfasts are excellent, and they are located on the top floor, with a spectacular view of Hagia Sophia on one side and the Bosphorus on the other. Ramazan (aka Rambo) will cook for you and charm you for every breakfast (something he’s been doing for 27 years). The rest of the staff are extremely friendly and accommodating. My room was a little small, but I got a single, so it was everything I wanted, including a lovely, modern bathroom. They’re also good about arranging day trips that pick you up from the hotel (I went to Troy). All of this at a price that is very reasonable. It’s not often that I gush about a hotel, but this is the perfect choice for a first-time tourist visit to Istanbul.

A Must for Any Traveler to Istanbul
An excellent hotel located next to the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque. A dedicated staff with excellent service. The room was great, and the bed quite comfortable.

Just amazing!
A beautiful boutique hotel with the wonderful and friendly staff at the desk and especially at the breakfast (Ramadan/aka Rambo). Great breakfast on the top floor and the hotel is within walking distance to everything! The rooms are too small, but that’s what you expect from an old and historic hotel. A busy area with some noise, but awesome views and we definitely stay here again. Thanks to all the stuff that made our stay enjoyable.

This hotel is a small, hidden gem. The location couldn’t get closer to several of the main sights. The service is extremely personable. Our room was cozy and clean. At breakfast, Rambo is so great! He’ll make you fresh eggs and make you feel so welcomed! Front desk staff is great!

Smallish hotel with compact bedrooms but with fantastic staff and customer service …..the staff could not do enough for us and every single member of staff was absolutely delightful.
The hotel is located within easy walking distance of all the main Istanbul tourist locations and just a few minutes from the boats that tour up and down the Bosporous.
For a short stay in Istanbul the hotel is highly recommended.

Well situated and very close to the biggest Tourist attractions. AC did not work for the whole stay. Informed Hotel staff and were promissed a fix multiple times.
Evan
Felt well taken care of in a place that was our first time visiting. The staff was excellent & made us feel at home & guided us to places of interest. The room was a bit small, but we made it work. The breakfast was wonderful - authentic Turkish buffet - seating with a spectacular view of the city. Would visit again!!
Karen
I definitely had a wonderful time in this property. The location is amazing. Everything is close by. You can walk to the restaurants, shops, mosques and all other attractions. The staff were really exceptional. They are always going above and beyond. Mehmet was the best! He was very helpful, very nice and kind. Not only did he help me with the process of checking in and iut, he also gave me a little tour of the city since my tour finished early during the day. I would totally come back here when I visit Istanbul again. Highly recommend this place!!!!
Alisher

Sightseeing break.
This was my 3rd stay here and is always my 1st choice because of the close walking proximity to the main sights, a quiet and safe location, fantastic service and wonderful breakfasts.
Elena
Excellent location to explore the Old City. Walkable distance to Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern, Topkapi Palace, Sultanahmet Square. 10-15 minutes to Archeological Museum and Grand Bazar.
Friendly staff. Room cleaning every day. Overall you get what you pay for.

Super destination with amazing views. Many tourist sites a short walk away. Friendly, helpful staff and clean, comfortable rooms. Great dining options nearby. See if you can find the restaurant nearby that houses an entrance to Constantine's hidden palace!
Yasmeen Hamzeh
I loved this place! The staff was so kind and gave great advice about where to go and what to do? They also have SIM cards so you can have internet access while you walk, which I recommend. The breakfast was great and they Ramazan made us feel at home! The tourism police is around the corner so we felt safe walking around at night. I definitely recommend it and can’t wait to stay again!

Short break.
Stayed here in 2017 and was impressed with the quality of the accommodation and service of the staff. Was delighted that standards had been maintained. Still a wonderful place to stay. So convenient for the sights so clean and comfortable. Ramazan makes you feel so welcome and the breakfast is so good. All the staff deliver a high quality of service.
Stephen Michael
Great location next to Topkapi Palace. Everything within ten minute walk. Loads of restaurants and bars within 5min walk. Hotel very clean, comfortable beds, security safe in room, complimentary toiletries. A great breakfast selection with a wonderful view of the Bosphorus and Hagia Sophia.. The hotel is so charming, people stop outside to take a photo.
Tania
Location is unbeatable, rooms clean and cozy and nice breakfast with stunning views. But what really makes this hotel special is Mr Ramazan, he makes you feel right at home and guarantees a memorable stay.
Peter
Loved this hotel. Very clean rooms and welcoming staff. Great views from roof top terrace for breakfast.

We loved the close proximity of Aya Sofiya, Top Kapi Palace, Blue Mosque and Grand Bazar. Restaurants nearby serve great food and the hotel staff did everything possible to make our stay unforgetable.

This hotel is a dream. It’s so beautiful from the outside and the terrace is amazing. It is close to all the major attractions that Istanbul has to offer. You can walk everywhere. The staff is very attentive. The breakfast is great as well. I will definitely stay here again in my next visit!

Great place to Stay
Service was excellent , room was clean and housekeeping was good. I had an issue with noisy neighbor, spoke to front desk and they handled it. Breakfast is decent, excellent location.
Iqra
One of the best hotel stays I have had. The staff go above and beyond for all your needs and are super friendly. Special mention to the chef Ramazan who is probably the nicest and helpful person I've met on travels. The hotel is small but really clean and very close to the Aya Sofia and Topkapi.
I would definitely recommend to anyone who wants 10/10 hospitality but doesn't necessarily need a big room.

This hotel is perfectly located for being a tourist in Istanbul - 5mins from all the key attractions and plenty of good food options around. The staff here were very friendly and accomodating, including the lovely Ramazan who runs breakfast each morning. The rooms are pretty basic, but comfortable. The location is the real selling point. We had a great time.

ALINA
It was okey, very good location
Susan
What a fantastic location for sightseeing in Istanbul. Many of the tourists spots were right on our doorstep. All the staff went out of their way to be extremely helpful and were polite and friendly.
One thing that would have been nice would have been to have tea and coffee making facilities in our rooms.

Love this hotel, small but clean and comfortable. Fantastic location very close to many attractions and restaurants. All the staff was friendly, willing to help and accommodate our every need. They always made us feel at home like a family. I miss Baba's breakfasts always so thoughtful and the little gift they personally gave us was a lovely touch. I hope to be back at Valide Sultan Konagi very soon.

Best views in Istanbul
my room - 303 - had an amazing full view of the Hagia Sophia mosque from the widow and a great rooftop breakfast room with views on all sides of the city. very friendly staff in a central location.

Don’t disturb sing don’t work.
On our first day of stay, I have found a sock hanging to fire alarm detector and I was shocked. I have informed the receptionist about it and on the next day I have hanged “Please don’t disturb” sing on to door handle. When I was with my partner in privacy, house keeping lady just unlocked the door and walked in without any warning. We were unsuitable to be seen in that condition and we got so embarrassed. And instead of shutting door back, she was trying to apologise and explain why she came in (to pick the sock out of fire detector etc.) and kept looking for at least 3,4 seconds. It was a horrible experience and I would never go to the hotel again and never suggest despite the rest of the staff was very helpful and hospitable but really unprofessional
Adelya
We were blown away by the hospitality of the staff! They went above and beyond to help us track our lost luggage and fed us delicious food!
SAMUEL
Great place to stay
My wife and I stayed there for 4 days and 5 nights. Perfectly located to see the main attractions in the old city of Istanbul. Very polite and helpful staff. Charming decoration. Delicious Turkish breakfast on the terrace with splendid view. Ramazan, the cook/server reminds you of a grandfather, very welcoming and affectionate.
Jennet
The location is just perfect, we had beautiful view on Hagia Sophia out of our window. Because of lots of tourists, the prices in the area around the hotel are pretty high.
Staff is very friendly. Room is clean, although there's slightly smell from bathroom, I think it's old plumbing maybe.

If I could give a higher than excellent rating for the stuff, I would! They are going out of their way to make your stay comfortable. The hotel is small, but spotless. The location is the best you can get if you are planning to visit Hajia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topcapi palace and Grand Bazzar. The taxi station is around the corner. We had a great stay in Istanbul
Sean
The only place you should stay in Istanbul
LOVED this hotel. Not only is it right around the corner from major attractions like the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque, but the staff goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome. They even wrapped a sandwich to go for me on my check out day because i was leaving too early for breakfast!
