Great location, friendly staff, good mattress, decent soundproofing. For the price, it's a steal.
19.03.2026
I'd like to express my sincere gratitude to the hotel staff for a comfortable stay. We loved everything; the hotel is conveniently located, within walking distance of attractions and tram lines. I highly recommend this hotel.

A decent hotel for the price. Conveniently located, with many attractions within walking distance, a tram stop within easy reach, and the metro is relatively close. The bathroom needs some attention; if you're looking for impeccable repairs, it's not there. Cleaning was done every day. The staff was very friendly. Breakfast was average, with limited selection, but the view makes up for it – the panoramic view of the city is magnificent. Seagulls flock to the windows for breakfast, which is very atmospheric.

The hotel was disgusting, the staff was terrible, everything was bad, I don't recommend it to anyone. I also don't recommend booking through trip.com.

The Yilsam Sultanahmet Hotel was excellent. Very centrally located and nice quiet neighborhood. The staff are all brilliant and very friendly, if your looking for somewhere in the old city this is a great option. Rooms were very clean, tidy and spacious.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at this hotel. From the moment I arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. The service was impeccable, the rooms were spotless and beautifully decorated, and every detail was thoughtfully taken care of.
The location was perfect, the amenities were top-notch, and the overall atmosphere was both relaxing and luxurious. I can confidently say this was one of the best hotel stays I’ve ever had. Highly recommended – I will definitely be coming back!

I stayed at this hotel with my father for 7 days. The location is impeccable. We stayed in one of the rooms facing the hippodrome and it was really worth it. The breakfast was also very good and varied and the view was just wonderful. But the best part of this hotel was its kind, professional and friendly staff. Everyone, from the ladies who prepared breakfast, to the house keepers, to the receptionists, were all extremely warm and friendly. Mr. Mesut, the manager was incredibly helpful and gave us a lot of good guidance on what to do and see. He was really polite, kind nad professional. I can't say enough about how welcome him and his team made us feel. Next time we are in Istanbul, we will do our best to book a room with them again. 5 stars.

What can I say about this hotel, pure hospitality and a must stay when your in Istanbul. Take it from me the service is special especially Mehmut and Sena who always greet you and take care of you whenever you need. Sena especially well done! The breakfast is fresh whenever you need no matter what time you get up. If you need a top up a fresh portion it will be made for you.
