On a quiet street, walking distance to major attractions and the sea broadwalk.
Reasonably priced. Its an old boutique hotel, rooms are small but clean, staff is friendly, decent breakfast custom omlets and coffees. We used card to keep ac running during our stay.

Beautiful hotel with a very authentic touch.
I missed my flight to Minsk and had to stay overnight at Istanbul. I booked this hotel last minute from the airport without much research and never regretted. They made me feel very welcome even though I was a solo traveller, signed me up for an awesome dinner on a boat (I definitely needed it after two flights).
Next day I was able to walk around the city for a little bit because the hotel is 7 mins walking distance from the Blue Mosque. The breakfast at the hotel was absolutely delicious. The rooms are very clean and you feel like a royalty staying at this hotel. Highly recommend.

Very Nice
Nice place to stay while in Istanbul. Very close to the boardwalk outside the busy city, on a quiet street.
Close enough to walk to absolutely everything and far enough away to escape the chaos that is Istanbul.
Really enjoyed the breakfast and the tea and coffee, lots of recommendations on places and things to see.
The one thing is the rooms are small, but there is a closet to put stuff, and they are cozy.

Lovely little hotel in the heart of the old town
The over-the-top opulence of the hotel is very much a matter of taste - we thought it a perfect fit for the old town! A little worn at the edges, but it's a lovely place, with very helpful and attentive staff and a massive breakfast

We enjoyed the hotel and staff very much. If you want a boutique hotel that is designed in the Turkish style, you’ll love it. Orhan was top notch and helped us around the hotel, talking about the city, and is connected throughout the city. The hotel also coordinated our round trip airport transfers.

The location in Istanbul was unbeatable. Truly amazing; however, the hotel was average. It wasn’t as clean as I would have liked and it was a bit dated. Also, we were placed in the bottom section of rooms which only had a very small window, so no sunlight. Also, during the night there were kids playing until 2am which kept us awake. It was a bit frustrating. Lastly, the breakfast was good and the staff were awesome.

Good and warm services from the staff. They helped me book different tours and events. Also, they assisted me to travel around Istanbul and the whole Turkiye. The room’s decoration is nice and elongate. The location of the hotel is quite near the plaza containing the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia.

The location was perfect about 10mins walk max from the blue mosque, topkapi palace n Hagia sofia 5mins away from Arasta Bazar. Lots of places to eat out.
The rooms were very differently decorated ottoman style. The staff Emre, Orhan and Hurside were totally amazing. They were amazing, nothing was too much for them.

The staff was exceptionally helpful and friendly. They went above and beyond to make sure that our stay was a good one.
The Buffay breakfast was a lot of fun specially, for the kids they get to order their own kind of omelette
It’s a small boutique hotel with a very traditional feel. It is close to everything. I love the old style roads leading up to the hotel.

We had the most wonderful time at the hotel. Each one in their staff were very attentive and they made me feel welcomed at the hotel. They were warm and friendly and they were always ready to assist with guidance and suggestions to visit the best sites and restaurants in town. I recommend this place highly as it is safe, it is clean, and super close to historic sites. The staff made me feel like I was part of their family.Their hospitality went above and beyond my expectations making my trip to Turkey a great and enjoyable adventure. We will definitely go back to this hotel. Sincerely

Charming hotel with wonderful staff
We stayed at the Sultan Tughra Hotel for 5 nights. The hotel staff are very helpful and the service is amazing. When we are back the manager Yildiz often serves us hot tea. Yildiz has done the above and beyond to help out when I need some help with the Turkish Airline.
I will definitely stay in this charming, old-world mansion again.
