⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful, peaceful stay in the historic heart of Istanbul
We had a truly lovely stay at Sultan Tughra Hotel.
From the moment we arrived, the staff were exceptionally kind, warm, and genuinely welcoming — you immediately feel at ease.
The hotel is located in a quiet, historic neighborhood, just a few minutes’ walk from Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque.
Nearby, you can also easily reach Topkapi Palace, Basilica Cistern, Gulhane Park, and enjoy long walks toward the Sea of Marmara.
This makes the hotel an ideal choice for travelers who want to explore Istanbul on foot — walking one or two historical sites each day through peaceful, beautiful backstreets, without rush or crowds.
What made the stay even more special was the atmosphere: the sound of seagulls, fresh winter air, and scenic walks near the waterfront — a perfect blend of calm and history.
Our room was clean, cozy, and very comfortable. The bathroom stood out in particular, with strong hot water pressure and perfect temperature, which is such a relief during winter travel.
The hotel felt peaceful and respectful. We noticed well-mannered German and African couples staying there as well, and the overall silence and serenity made it ideal for rest.
Thank you to Hotels.com for making this smooth booking possible, and special thanks to the wonderful team at Sultan Tughra Hotel for creating such a warm and memorable experience.
We would happily stay here again
