The staff was helpful, breakfast full of variety and location ideal for the travellers
I really appreciate the management and this hotel is charming with breakfast included it is a really great value. It's walking distance to all the special sites like the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and Basilica Cistern. I was really taken care of by the management and my room was adorable. Very happy with this stay! ❤️☺️
I like this hotel and I go every time I’m in Istanbul.
Staff are extremely friendly, respectful and kind.
Mr Atakan, special thanks to you! Mr Sabri you are a good man, 👍
This is an older hotel so no lift but it's right next to everything! Walking distance to blue Mosque, topkapi palace, you can see the Hagia Sophia from your windows. The T1 tram stop at gulhane is 1 minute walk as is gulhane park. Easy access to public transit you can be anywhere in the city in around an hour and a half (yes even the airports)
This is a small hotel right next to the Hagia Sophia you can actually see it from your window. So it's super convenient and walkable to all the major sites: blue mosque, Hagia Sophia, topkapi palace, Bsilica cisterns, grand Bazaar you name it. Staff is helpful and goes out if their way to care for you. They helped set me up with a sim card for my older phone.

I recently stayed at Modern Sultan Hotel in Istanbul, and it was a wonderful experience overall. The breakfast was excellent, with many options to choose from every morning, a great way to start the day.
The location is absolutely unbeatable. It’s incredibly walkable to all the major attractions, Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, Grand Bazaar, the ferry terminals, everything is close by. Even with a 4-year-old, we were able to walk comfortably to almost all the places we wanted to visit. The convenience of the location is truly one of the hotel’s biggest strengths.
One thing to note is that the hotel does not have an elevator, so you’ll need to use the stairs. We stayed on the 5th floor, so it was a bit tiring at times, but honestly not a deal breaker, the stay and location made up for it.
There are also multiple dine-in options nearby, making meals easy and enjoyable.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this hotel. Great breakfast, amazing walkable location, and a comfortable stay right in the heart of Istanbul.
The staff was amazing. They treated us like part of their family. They were very helpful in finding us private transportation as I was traveling with elderly parents. One of the family rooms we had booked was being renovated, so they gave us an additional room for 2 nights for free. It is a very small place but very cozy and comfortable. This place is very close to all the places we wanted to visit.
Loved the hosts Husain and I don't recall other 2 names of the receptionist and the cook. Extremely helpful and caring staff, everything is walkable great place for the price, would love visiting back here
The Modern Sultan Hotel is in a great central spot for a great price. It is boutique, has a lot of character yet has the amenities you need. A large shower, good working AC, and very walkable. I see the Aya Sofia outside our window. The staff are exceptionally friendly, and the free breakfast is exactly enough to start the day. 24 hour coffee and tea is also available at your service, and they have a nice front porch to sit and enjoy it! I would recommend if you are looking for something different than the typical hotel; a unique experience for sure.
Lovely clean room, service was great and the breakfast was very good too. A bit cool the first night but once we asked for an additional blanket it was fine
