We stayed three nights at the Senatus Hotel in Sultanahmet as a group of four. The location is excellent, a short walk to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topkapı Palace and the tram, yet on a quiet street. It's a charming boutique hotel in a historic building, and a comfortable base for exploring the old city. The staff were friendly, the hotel was clean, and breakfast was okay. One caution: our family room was on the basement floor, which gets less natural light — worth checking your room's location when you book.

This hotel is located in the best location for visiting the sites around Istanbul. Easy walking to must see sites and the metro transit system. The hotel staff and restaurant are fantastic. We noticed many people from outside the hotel using their restaurant. When we come back, we’ll be staying here.

Rooms were clean and staff was kind and friendly. We took only breakfast and didn't regret that. The buffet was little bit small but in context of breakfast it was fine, moreover it was pretty tasty. The additional pluses were balcony on fifth floor with pleasant view on the street and bathroom, especially hydro massage.

We arrived early at our hotel and the staff were very accommodating. We were hoping to just store our luggage for a few hours while we were sightseeing, but they were actually able to find us a comparable room to the one we had booked and let us check in almost 5 hours early. Buffet breakfast was amazing! Lots of selection.

This is a great place to stay in Istanbul. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The breakfast had a good variety and was tasty. The location is superb close to all of the major sites in Sultanhamet. The only weakness was that the Wi-Fi blocked my VPN but that is typical of many places in Turkey due to the authoritarian government. Overall I had a great stay and would definitely stay here again.
