Hotels near Topkapi Palace Istanbul

"It’s a true hidden gem, nice brand new hotel in an excellent location, right in the heart of sultanahmet area, minutes to Hagia-Sophia, Blue Mosque and grand bazaar by walk. The staffs are very helpful and friendly, especially the manager… she is absolutely amazing! We had a stopover in Istanbul on our way back from the US. Since we had four large pieces of luggage, we were upgraded to a larger room to accommodate them."

It is in a good location to walk, take tram or ferry to the favorite spots to visit in Istanbul.

"My mom and I had a stopover in Istanbul and looked up this cute hidden boutique hotel conveniently located to shops, good eats and Mosques. Burak ( not sure if that’s how his name is spelled ) is the bellboy there and he was such a sweetheart, very attentive and charismatic."

"The "junior suite" was quite roomy and very comfortable since our room was at the rear if the building, it was actually very quiet at night, despite what I had heard about Istanbul being super noisy. Staff at the Lalahan are very pleasant and helpful Decent choice if you want to be in a convenient location -- easy walk to some of the major attractions such as the Hagia Sophia. Only real drawback is that this walk (and the hotel) is on the road with the tram/streetcar, so you need to be REALLY...

"Hotel St Sophia is in an excellent location in Sultanahmet. We arrived in IST and took the Haviest to the hotel. A big thank you to Enes for making our check in and check out so seamless. Our room on the 3rd floor had a spectacular view of the Blue Mosque and was extremely quiet. The breakfast selection was lovely and the staff were friendly and helpful."
