Description

Endican Sultanahmet Hotel is a modest 3-star hotel located in the historic heart of Istanbul, housed in a four-story building renovated in 2014. It offers 23 rooms, including standard doubles, triples, deluxe rooms, and suites, catering to different group sizes. The rooms are noted for being clean and ergonomically designed, with amenities such as air conditioning, WiFi, and in-room safes. Guests appreciate the hotel’s value-for-money proposition, with complimentary upgrades offered on occasion. While the hotel lacks breakfast service, it provides a restaurant and bar on-site, alongside services like room service, laundry, and airport transfers. The staff are generally described as friendly and helpful, often assisting with local advice and transportation arrangements. Although some rooms are small and there are economy options in the basement without windows, most guests find their stay comfortable and well-supported by attentive housekeeping.

Location

The hotel is situated in Fatih district, Istanbul, just 13 km from Ataturk Airport (IST). It stands within walking distance of major historic landmarks: approximately 900 meters from Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, and the Grand Bazaar. The Çemberlitaş tram station is only about 15 to 20 meters from the hotel entrance, providing easy access to other parts of the city. Nearby points of interest include the Çemberlitaş Hammam (81 m), the TGC Press Media Museum (92 m), and the Cistern of Philoxenos (221 m). For dining and shopping, guests find a supermarket and several restaurants such as Cennet Turkish Pancake (76 m) and Havuzlu Restaurant (256 m) within a short stroll.

Tips

  • Book early to secure the larger or deluxe rooms, as standard and basement rooms can be quite small.

This was a wonderful stay at a super convenient hotel in a big busy city. It is extremely well located, the staff are friendly - nothing was too much trouble for them. They organised several airport transfers without a problem. The rooms are very clean - best shower I have had in a long time⭐️. There is nothing fancy about the hotel but just really excellent value. Right near to supermarkets and restaurants. I had 2 separate stays during my trip and they upgraded my room for my 2nd 2 nights at no extra cost.

endican sultanahmet

the location of thia hotel is near to the highlight spot in istanbul. and because it's location no wonder the price is quite high (all the hotel in the sultanahmed is expensive)

we book room for 3 people and in the ground floor.

the room not so big so we have to organize our laguagge for the movement in the room.

the facility is standard like towels, toiletris, tv etc.

just acros the hotel you can find supermarket where you can buy everything you need.

My child and I stayed at this hotel for a week in August 2024. The staff was very helpful, provided tips, and were very friendly. Everything was newly renovated and very clean. We were given a complimentary upgrade and stayed on the third floor in a standard room with window at the back. The hotel is very well located, with the Tram station Cemberlitas just 15-20 meters away, and many restaurants, shops, and a supermarket right outside the door and we still didnt hear any loud noise. The value for money is excellent. We are absolutely satisfied and will definitely return.

Excellent hotel. Clean and really good locations. Very walkable to Grand Bazaar, Blue Mosque Tokopi palace, Hagia Sophia. Front desk people are so friendly, especially Alim I love how they created a WhatsApp chat with me so I can ask questions from them. Would highly recommend. Pictures are as you see it

Review: bad and good sides

1. Bad first impression with customer service. A manager named Emrah as I remember has a low customer service skill.
We booked a hotel room through Agoda website. When we arrived at the hotel, the manager told us, our room would be in basement which isn’t described on the website. He carelessly said the hotel doesn’t work with Agoda.

With his attitude he didn’t show any understanding and effort to help.
We contacted Agoda who was willing to help from their part. But the hotel manager, Emrah, didn’t purpose above and beyond help from his side.

If you were in my situation, you would feel like being scammed and forced to pay more when we arrived at the front desk. We were willing to pay for upgrade easily if we weren’t being treated poorly by this manager, Emrah at the first place.

2. On the hand, another staff, Ali seems to know about customer service at handling the situation. He showed his understanding and spoke with us without any attitude.

3. A room we upgraded ourselves to was clean but the ambience isn’t good for light sleepers. There is loud noise and light from outside getting into your room.

Bathroom was still small even for Asian person.

Blanket was small even I’m 159cm my feet sticking out. Of course we got cold during the sleep.

Some people might not understand my situation. It’s ok. I work in the hospitality so i can tell what is the difference

Staff at the reception are friendly and helpful. This morning, the reception even helped us to secure an airport (IST) transfer when we did not book in advance.

Walking distance to the historical sites (Hagia Sofia, Blue Mosque, basilica cistern, Topkapi palace, grand bazaar, spice bazaar etc). We did not even use the tram during our 6-nights stay.

Thank you for the smiles and hospitality ((from reception and housekeeping).

Very very friendly and extremely helpful receptionist. All of them are super nice. Very grateful for their help in getting us a ride to the airport. The hotel is at a good location. The room is clean and I love how all the beddings and towel smells so nice. Thank you to all the staff. Appreciate it a lot :)

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.
