My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were somewhat unclean and had a bad smell, especially with the thin duvet during snowy weather, but the staff was helpful. The location was great for exploring the city, although the dining experience fell short in comparison to what was expected.

The hotel room was quite disappointing overall, with small, unclean rooms smelling badly, and thin duvets despite the snowy weather outside. However, the service at Sultan's Inn was helpful, especially with luggage, and the location was perfect with stunning views from the roof terrace. The dining experience until lunch was lovely, offering a delicious Turkish breakfast near a convenient tramva station. The facilities were decent but lacked in room standards.

My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were clean and provided room service daily, although they were quite small with limited space for luggage. The hotel's location was convenient for accessing tourist areas and close to the tramway, situated on the 3rd level. The service was excellent, with the staff outside the room being very helpful and friendly, especially Alihan who was always quick to respond to messages and assist with trip details.

The hotel has easy access to all tourist areas and is close to the tramway, making it convenient for sightseeing. The rooms were small but clean and good, although not as spacious as shown in the advertised pictures. Some cleanliness issues were noted with spider webs in the roof corners. The service was quite good, with quick responses to inquiries and helpful assistance. The location was excellent for exploring major attractions on foot. The dining experience offered basic but sufficient options, with a lovely rooftop view repeated daily. Facilities were adequate for a comfortable stay.

The hotel rooms were fine for a short stay, although small for moving around comfortably, and lacked the promised view and fresh air. The service was friendly but lacked English fluency in handling specific inquiries. The dining experience fell short of expectations despite offering a good selection of breakfast items. Overall, worth considering for a convenient stay in Sultanahmet.

I had a mixed experience staying at this hotel. While the rooms were clean and good, they were really small compared to their advertised pictures, which felt a little cramped for a budget traveler or backpacker like me. The service was very welcoming and friendly, and the staff were really helpful and kind, responsive to all my requests. The location was unbeatable and within walking distance to some of the main attractions, but I don't think I will stay there again. The dining had changed to a very simple one from what was advertised, and the same items were served every day. Overall, it was a decent stay with some ups and downs.

The hotel is in a perfect spot in the old city, just a short walk from Sultanahmet Cami and Ayasofya Muezesi. The rooms are small for two people but suitable for a short leisure stay, very clean, and could benefit from a bit of heating or cooling. The service is helpful but not fluent in English. The location is excellent, close to major attractions in the Old City with respectful staff available 24/7. The dining experience is simple with a nice view of the Blue Mosque. Overall, a convenient stay with some minor drawbacks.
