Very good hotel, big room, clean, and the most think i’m very happy is breakfast. Delicious food. Thanks you
27.12.2025
It was recommended that I visit this store. Aggressive sales tactics, nothing is real. The men stand near the exit so you don’t leave until you buy something. When you finally do, they say their card reader isn’t working and they need to use the one next door. Then they charge you more at the Gold shop nearby. They do this because in Türkiye you don’t pay taxes on Gold. Once you figure it all out, they refuse you a refund. Try to find this “business” on the internet. They don’t exist. Total scammers.

It was recommended that I go shopping at Silk Road Gallery around the corner. These group of aggressive men are total con artists selling fake rugs in inflated prices. Once you figure out you’ve been duped, they offer no refund. I’m now part of a criminal and civil case with 7 other tourists, interestingly all women. Still don’t believe me? Try to find this store on the internet. You can’t because they don’t want to be caught! Absolutely cruel men. Attached is a picture of “Gustavo,” the one they send in to flirt with the single ladies. Just disgusting.

Location is great and staff friendly but by far the best thing about this hotel was the cat that visited our balcony(we were on the top floor with a balcony and a fire escape). She was there on the first morning asking for food (which we happily supplied as you can buy cat food in literary every shop in the city) and by the third or fourth day she was purring and sleeping on our laps on the balcony chairs. We never met such a sweet and loving cat and were really sad having to say goodbye - we sincerely hope that the next guests will "adopt" her as well - she loves her food ;) apart from the cat everything else was great as well :)

The hotel is like a hide away, there’s a beautiful garden over looking the breakfast area, and upstairs is another garden area where our group did yoga each morning before breakfast, the staff are so friendly by the time we were leaving it was like we were leaving family, the hotel is walking distance from blue mosque and other amazing attractions, we ate at different restaurants that our amazing host Berat took us too, the hotel is clean and staff were so willing to meet our needs, we will be back. Nikkipere Just breathe retreats.

Close to Blue Mosque. Great to be able to return to your hotel room in between sightseeing old Istanbul. This hotel has clean rooms with spectacular view of the water full of ships passing by. Friendly and helpful staff. Very good breakfast

5 Stars – Outstanding Stay!
Absolutely loved my stay at Sokullu Pasa hotel in Istanbul! The service was top-notch from the moment I arrived. Check-in & check-out were super smooth, and the entire staff was incredibly warm and helpful.
Special thanks to Muslum and Frit, (and many others) who went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Their kindness and attention to detail truly made my stay memorable.
The rooms were clean, comfortable, and full of traditional charm. And the breakfasts were amazing—fresh, tasty, and beautifully presented each morning.
Highly recommend this hotel if you’re visiting Istanbul. I’ll definitely be back!

We stayed at the Sokhullu Pasa as part of a BA holiday package. The hotel was good value, and well located in the Sultanahmet area, just a 5-minute walk to the Blue Mosque, with a multitude of reasonably priced cafes and restaurants nearby. Our particular favourites were the Arch Restaurant for dinner, and the Rabbit Hole cafe for coffee and breakfast options. Prior to arrival we contacted the hotel to upgrade to a Superior room, which was beautifully decorated in traditional style, located on the 4th floor, with a lovely sea view, and importantly the room was very warm, and was a welcome retreat from a snowy Istanbul in February. Do bear in mind that if you book any extras (room upgrades, tours) direct with hotel, then they prefer cash payment in Euros, so best to come with plenty of cash to avoid getting ripped off by local ATMs. We weren’t impressed by the self service breakfast offering: the “hot” options (boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, and potatoes were barely lukewarm) and the Turkish meze items looked unappetising. In addition, the hotel staff were not particularly welcoming or hospitable, however we must commend housekeeping, as our room was always immaculately clean, and towels regularly changed

Very good location, helpful and friendly staff. Hugely convenient as it was virtually next to the Blue Mosque, so nice for a beautiful evening walk. Restaurants, shops and mini markets within a very short walk too.

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.
