Hotel Spectra Sultanahmet0

A small, cozy hotel in a historic building in a great location, a stone's throw from the Hippodrome, Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. Small but very tastefully decorated rooms with stylish wooden furniture, a large, extremely comfortable bed, tasteful matching curtains and a charming Turkish kilim on a wooden parquet floor. Although the hotel is located on a small but busy street, the windows are very soundproof. The four-story building is equipped with an elevator, and there is a rooftop bar with large windows from which there is a beautiful view of the Marmara Sea, the Sultanahmet districts and both famous mosques, as well as sunrises and sunsets. On the ground floor there is a bar and a restaurant where breakfast is served. These breakfasts will surely satisfy everyone, and certainly lovers of Turkish cuisine, like me. For me, it's not a disadvantage, but for a full description, I have to mention that every historic building has its disadvantages, so... thin walls may bother someone, but not me, because after a day of exploring the city, I fell asleep like a baby in this comfortable bed. There is also a reception on the ground floor, where you will always find help and answers to all your questions about Istanbul... thank you to all the hotel staff, especially Metin and Erhan, for their professional service and help. If I ever return to Istanbul, I will definitely stay here again, and I will certainly recommend this hotel to others.

Metin and Erhan were great. Made our stay so, so pleasant! Metin did his best to suggest great tours and things to do , in fact he helped us with directions and gave advice on what to do while in Istanbul. Property is walking distance to all the popular attractions The real value of the property is its employees! We thank all of them very much !

Honestly there is nothing that we did not like ! Let s say the room & bathroom especially could be a little bigger however that s not a big thing !

The hotel has an excellent position right on the corner of the Sultanhamet Square. The view from the hotel and from the roof top restaurant is on the Blue Mosque and on Bossphorus. The beds are very comfortable , rooms ar enot very big and aslo the bathrooms but everything is there, and the personnel is so polite and very very kind taht you will not notice the bathroom size. I would certainly recommend the hotel and certainly I would go there again for a trip to Istanbul again. One note is also for the restaurant, food is very good We had 3 dinners there. all is very fresh. Also breakfast is very nice and rich. I recommend it!!

nothing. all was very good.

The hotel is located at the European side of Istanbul and near to UNESCO world heritage sites. Location was excellent which was just around the corner of The Blue Mosque. Staff was amazing especially Erhan who facilitated our check in. Later he also arranged a complete trip to Cappadocia, all his efforts and professionalism is highly appreciated. Room was clean and comfy and was luckily at the corner due to which a great view from the window of The Blue Mosque and the streets around it. Breakfast was included but with very limited food variety which needs improvement. Overall was an excellent experience as the location is at the heart of Istanbul's main tourist attractions.

We were instantly warmly welcomed into this hotel! We actually came in a bit early before the check in, but everything was done so that we could enter our room as soon as possible. The room was nice and had everything you could practically need. After a couple of days we had a problem in the room, but the problem was amazingly resolved by the kind staff! I’d like to accentuate how helpful and kind the staff in the hotel is. They were always ready to help with anything you need at any time and give good recommendations for the city! When we found out our flight was delayed, they called everywhere to give us more information, advice and help with anything we needed! In addition the breakfast was amazing, with a lot of tasty fresh food and quite some variation! The chef would even stop by once in a while to ask how the food was :) To summarize, the hotel was a fantastic experience and we would definitely recommend it to anyone who is visiting Istanbul!

The location was incredible, the perfect area right near the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, and we were able to rest up at the hotel and then head back out. The breakfast was good and varied - plenty of fruit! The staff were very friendly and helpful with offering tours and booking taxis etc. The room was clean and comfortable.

The room overlooked the street, so the music from below was quite noisy in the morning and evening, although it stopped before midnight which was fine for us. The shower was powerful, but the bathroom floor would get a little flooded after use. One morning we had to eat outside because there wasn't enough room indoors at breakfast, which was a bit chilly.

The staff was amazing. All the brothers in the reception was very respective of me and my wife. She was unwell however they all helped us whenever we needed help. They informed us where the local hospital was and other places to visit. The breakfast was not the best I would say sub par. However we would eat out most of the time. The room was small but the hotel is in a very good spot and local to blue mosque and good food spots. Overall it was a good hotel rooms where not the best I saw other rooms they looked very spacious However my room was quite small. The staff were the best thing about the stay.

Size of the room was small. Breakfast was not good.

The location is ideal for families who have little ones. The amazing Blue mosque and Hagia Sofia are mere minutes walk from the hotel. Bazaar's and restaurants are all around. Our hotel window opened towards the Blue Mosque and we couldn't have asked for a better view. The hotel was very clean and the staff highly friendly. They gave us lots of helpful tips about shopping in the cheaper locations and how to get around town. Couldn't have asked for a better place for our short stay. Kids didn't want to leave the place.

The beds were good but not great. It's such a minor concern though. This place is at the center of the action, which is what we needed. We slept well after all the walking we did!

Everything. the location is the best and in the center of the main attractions. they have a rooftop terrace that looks over them. The staff was amazing. They upgraded me to a bigger room, and helped me go through a difficult situation with a taxi driver who didn’t want to return my phone. The guy at the reception stayed with me, helped with the police from 10 pm to 2 am and made sure I got my phone back. I will certainly come back and stay here every time I go to Istanbul.

Nothing. Everything was perfect.

For my trip to Istanbul I booked at the same hotel as 3 years ago. I really enjoyed my stay. When I arrived at the hotel the man at the reception gave me a welcome tea and tiramisu. They make you feel at home. The second morning they told me what I can do in Istanbul. They asked me every day if everything was okay and how my day was. They are really interested and kind to their guests. The breakfast is simple but filling. Good to start your day. They have a turkish breakfast and the man at the bar will make you fresh turkish eggs called ‘menemen’ The housekeeping will clean your room every morning. They are also really kind and leaves your room very clean. They also fill up your minibar with water en new towels, every day. I really enjoyed the people in this hotel and the perfect location. It’s nearby Sultan ahmet and Ayasofya. 1 min walk. I would really recommend this hotel to everyone. The hospitality here is perfect! I can’t wait to come back to this hotel. Already missing the vibe!
