Sultan House

We had great expectations for our stay here, given its position in the Old Town, the photos and its history as an old Ottoman house. As soon as we arrived we realised our expectations were not going to be met. The breakfast area was in the foyer, it looked more like a youth hostel. Our room was a standard room- it looked like a student bedsit from the 1960s. Sparse, small with cheap ‘wooden’ furniture on the 4th floor overlooking a very loud construction site.It was truly awful affording nothing in the way of comfort, and looking nothing like the photos used to advertise the place. A small tray with 2 cups and a couple of sachets of something sat on the side. When I asked the manager about a kettle- he said hot water was available from a kettle in the lobby- down from the 4th floor! We sat for an hour deciding what to do coming to the conclusion to move elsewhere. Fortunately we found another hotel in the Old Town which offered far more in the way of comfort and a proper restaurant.

Spot on. Stayed here three times now. Right next to blue mosque. Front desk staff are brill. Breakfast is basic but nice. I am going again in Easter.

Excellent location, easy walk to all sights. Hotel staff very helpful, booked our airport transfers and local tours. Would stay there again.
