I enjoyed my stay at Sultan House overall, with a few notable highlights and some drawbacks. The location is fantastic-just a short walk to major attractions like the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. The breakfast options are traditional and tasty, but I did find the rooms to be somewhat small, and the noise from the breakfast preparation could be a bit disruptive if you're looking to sleep in. Nevertheless, the staff was friendly and attentive, which really enhanced my experience.

I had a great time at Sultan House, mainly because the location was fabulous, just a short walk to the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. The staff was friendly and made my mornings enjoyable with a simple but tasty breakfast. However, the walls were pretty thin, so I dealt with some noise, especially during breakfast prep, which made it hard to sleep in on the weekends.

I had an okay experience at Sultan House. The location was excellent for sightseeing, being close to major attractions like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. However, I found the room to be cramped, and the shower wasn't very clean. The breakfast options could have been more varied since it felt repetitive after a few days.

The breakfast offered was decent but lacked variety, primarily serving salads and cheeses every day, which became a bit monotonous.

Facilities were limited, with no lift and only basic housekeeping services. This made it challenging with luggage, especially as our room was on the second floor.

I had a pleasant stay at Sultan House in Istanbul, with a fantastic location just a stone's throw from major attractions like the Blue Mosque. The staff was friendly and attentive, always ready to help. However, breakfast variety could improve, and some rooms might be noisy due to their positioning near common areas. Overall, it was a good experience for sightseeing! 😊

I had a mixed experience at Sultan House. The location was very nice, just a short walk to major attractions like the Blue Mosque. However, I encountered noise issues early in the morning and had to switch rooms, which added to my expenses. The breakfast was quite simple but enjoyable, while the cleanliness was consistently good throughout my stay.
