Guest Reviews
Good location ; great staff
It is my second stay here and this time I had a much better bigger room with a huge bed at a slightly more expensive cost. Still great value. Great location near most of the really important sightseeing sites in downtown Istambul. Very good breakfast with lots of fried vegetables and several kinds of cheese. Extraordinary reception staff members.
View of the Hagia Sophia from my room, very friendly and helpful staff, breakfast on the cozy front terrace
Location is fantastic at a short walking distance from the main attractions. Prices in Istambul are exhorbitant due to the decision of the Turkish Government to raise the entrance fees of all iconic sights so as to attain fhe most expensive sightseeing prices in the World. Downtown hotels, restaurants, bars and shops have followed that path of tourist greed and Modern Sultan Hotel is an exception in downtown Istambul. 45 Euros per night for a single room including breakfast is unbeatable value considering that it is five Euros cheaper than the entrance fee for Topkapi Palace, which costs 50 Euros. All the reception staff members are fluent in English and they are able to talk to you for a while but also to assist you if you are in trouble or have any doubts. This is exceptional in a city where no one speaks English in the streets and where very few receptionists, waiters and shop assistants have the fluency of an English native speaker. I liked breakfast, specially the Turkish dishes. The room was tidy and clean.
Clean place, near the main downtown center.
Very helpful. Good customer service
the stuff was lovely, helpful and kind. I had issues with public transport due to national holiday on 1st of May and they gladly helped me with arranging alternatives, served tea and called taxi. The room had great view and bed was really comfy. Location was perfect, close to main attractions.
No Elevator and we were on the 4th floor
Superb view or Hagia Sophia! Close to the Tram station. Very nice Staff.
Super good location! Walking distance to everywhere you’d like to go in old Europe part! The view of Hajia Sophia from our room is super!
Lovely staff and great location
I liked the location as it was an easy walking distance from some of the major sights. The hotel staff were fantastic and made the stay enjoyable.
Super location just off Gulhane tram stop. Staff / Idris..were friendly, & helpful with local food suggestion (Kosh Kebap), breakfast was decent. Will stay here again.
The staff was very kind. The room was really nice with a wonderful view, just in front of Aya Santa Sophia. We appreciated a lot this hotel!
Good value. Great location. Friendly owner. Good breakfast. Help us store luggage after check out. Recommend
Wonderful location. Place near to topkapi palace, Hagia Sophia & Blue mosque. Staff was wonderful special Thanks to Fatima, Halima, Idris & Sabri for your hospitality.
Place close to all turistic goals. Really kind and helpfull personal.
Location is very near the tram like 2 min. by walk and near the tourist spots like Hagia Sophia, Sultahnamet Square, Topkaphi Palace like 3 minutes by walk only. The bed is very good and comforting. I forgot my toiletries and Atajan lend a toothpaste for us. Will certainly come back here next time. Idris and all the staffs are all wonderful.
In old town with most tourist attractions like blue mosque etc within 10 minutes’ walk. Two metro stations including Sultanahmet approx. 5-7 minutes’ walk. Owner/manager very helpful in arranging airport transfer/tours etc.
Wonderful staff.. they helped me in everything I need.. thank them 😍
