Nos encanto haber elegido este hotel. El staff es muy amigable solicitos para ayudarte en lo que necesites. Esta muy bien ubicado frente a todos los lugares de Sultanhamet para conocer y al mismo tiempo es recoleto y muy tranquilo. La habitacion es muy comoda y es muy limpio. Lo recomiendo a cualquiera que desee sentirse comodo y bien atendido.

Unfortunatelly I was in Istanbul only for two days - next time I have to stay longer.
I really liked the hotel very much, the rooms are very clean, everybody is very friendly and helps you (it was my first time in Istanbul). The hotel is only a few minutes of walking away from all the attractive places. You can eat your breakfast on the roof of the hotel and see Ayasofya...
I will definitely recommend you!

A long overdue review of the excellent care and stay we had at Zeynep Sultan Hotel. My family and friends enjoyed our stay immensely. They have a great staff that speaks English, who are friendly and helpful and the location is very centralized. I loved our morning breakfast on the terrace. My mom was ill when we got to the hotel and the owner, Ibrahim even drove my parents to the hospital. You do not beat that kind of service and care! We definitely recommend this hotel!

My wife and I stayed in Istanbul in August and are still talking about it. It was a wonderful holiday an experience not to be missed. The stay was made better by the staff at the hotel who were excellent always helpful and full of information to make our stay that much better. The hotel was very comfortable and very clean a credit to all those concerned. The hotel was situated in the heart of the old town so nearly every where was within walking distance.

More than a month since our visit to Istanbul and still we feel excited, enthousiastic and nostalgic about our experience in Istanbul.
Part of this experience was Zeynep Sultan Hotel and its people.
At first I can say that we chose the hotel for the location and the good reviews but when we arrived there, we discovered that this isn't an ordinary hotel.
This hotel is for travellers who want to be in the center of the old city, a step from the museums and the monuments but mostly is a quiet, spotless, friendly place to relax and feel the city wthout the noise and the typolatry of the large hotels.
Manager/owner Ibrahim is smilly, very friendly and very helpfull man and his advice about where to go and what to eat gave us another dimention to this amazing city, one that we could never discover in the six days of our stay.
Ibrahim, Onur, Sultan, thanks for the lovely stay and we 'll certenly come again.
Yiannis and Catriona.

We would like to write a couple of lines to show our graditude for the service provided during the week we stayed at this hotel. The staff offered us great help planning our daily trips to different destinations in Istanbul. The hotel staff were good in communicating and was very polite. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. We would like to thank Onur, Emre x 2, Yavuz, Sultan and especially the owner Ibrahim who all made us feel as we were at home. Therefore we would like to recommend every person planning visiting Istanbul to stay at Zeynep Sultan Hotel. // Best Regards - Mohammad & Amira

We found this hotel to offer a magical springboard into a fasinating culture. The manager (Ibrahim) is very warm and friendly--combining the best of Turkish hospitality with "western" familiarity. My only concern is that this hotel is so good that it will become too popular, and I might find it difficult to find openings in the future.

The Zeynep Sultan is a gem. Clean, convenient, and affordale. But, what makes it unique is the outstanding staff, in particular, Abe who is the owner. Advice on bookings, sightseeing, local stories, personal experiences all flow from Abe at breakfast. He will walk you to your destination, draw maps, make phone calls, help you with shopping, you name it. He is proud of his country and his city and speaks impeccable English (25 years in LA). His front desk staff all speak English and will help you with anything. Even sending friends to help you with shopping. A small word of advice. Do not stay in room 104 it is too noisy. All in all an outstanding hotel and great weekend. Thank you Abe.

We stayed at the Zeynep Sultan for ten nights in September. We thouroughly enjoyed our stay. We could not find any faults with the hotel or the staff. This is one of the most comfortable hotels that I have stayed at in all of Europe and Asia. Ibrahim and is staff are exceptional hosts. We appreciated their hospitality. From the moment that Duran picked us up at the airport to the end of our stay we felt welcome. I would recommend this hotel to anyone. I hope to return to Turkey next year and I will definitely stay at the Zeynep Sultan. Thank you for your hospitality!

Dear Mr. Ibrahim,
We take this opportunity to thank you for your warmth and hospitality during our stay at your hotel.
Istanbul is certainly a beautiful place and it was wonderful being there. Due to the strategic location of your hotel, we didn’t need to take a cab at all during our stay. The rooms were clean and nice. And how can we forget the breakfast!
Your staff was very helpful and friendly all the time. We would like to personally mention Emre, Duran, Volkan, Onur and of course you. Hope we haven’t missed anyone out. Thank you all! Our stay was made comfortable because of you.
We anticipate more opportunities to visit Istanbul and Zeynep Sultan in the future.
Thank you once again
Perrin and Saifee

Hotel was clean and well run. No unpleasant surprises e.g. the price was exactly as quoted. Manager (Ibrahim) was very helpful and informative. When we were unable to get a taxi to airport bus collection point, he drove us in his own car and would not accept any payment. The 'deck' area restaraunt has a lovely outlook.

My husband and I just returned from Istanbul about 2 weeks ago, thinking about the week we spent at the manificent Istanbul, it was still dream-like. Not to mention about the mystic beauty of the historic city, we are most pleased with the hotel staff and service it provides. First of all, the hotel is conveniently located to some of the must-see attractions in Istanbul, all in walking distance. After all the convenience is something most tourist seek when traveling in a new place. Secondly, the hotel staff is genuinely warm and cordial. We felt at home from the date we arrived. Lastly, we loved the fabulous breakfast they provide. I can still smell the fresh Turkish coffee and the authentic honey from wild-flowers from Turkey's Mediterranean coast. The hotel owner, Abe is most knowledgeable about the city's attractions and he is most helpful in providing a daily plan for his visitors. The hotel is truely a home away from home, we would love to go back and stay there and explore more of the magnificent Istanbul in the near future.

Das Hotel ist sehr zentral gelegen in der Altstadt (Sultanahmet), alle Sehenswürdigkeiten sind in Gehdistanz, erreichbar zu Fuss in 10 Min. Die Zimmer sind sehr sauber, einfach aber zweckmässig eingerichtet. Das Bad ist eher klein aber auch sehr sauber und funktioniert bestens (genügend Wasserdruck und funktionierende, moderne Armaturen) Das Hotel wurde anscheinend kürzlich renoviert.
Es wird ein einfaches, aber gutes Frühstück offeriert (2€/Pers.), bei schönen Wetter auf einer Terrasse mit Blick auf die Hagia Sophia. In der nächsten Umgebung gibt es Restaurants, Cafés und einfache Garküchen. Der Transfer zum internationalen Flughafen kann für 15€ im Hotel gebucht werden (der versprochene Gratistransfer klappt öfters nicht oder ist nur gültig bei Buchung via eigener Hotel-Website), oder man benützt das Tram und die Metro (je 1 Jeton à 0.60€!) und hat nicht viel länger wie das Taxi, da öfters ein Verkehrs-Chaos herrscht.
Die Leute sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Das Hotel liegt in einer ruhigen Quartierstrasse, abseits vom Verkehrslärm. Wie vermutlich in der ganzen Stadt hört man aber den Muezzin rufen....

A group of us stayed 4 days in Istanbul recently enjoying the sites,
sounds and tastes of one of the world's most captivating cultural cities
and what made the whole experience relaxing was all the staff at the
Zeynep Sultan Hotel.
The local is great and the hotel offers everything in comfort you don't
find in similar hotels. The hotel staff are very helpful and
professional from the people on reception to the unsung people working
behind the scenes.
Special thanks to Ibrahim for your honest advice on where to visit and
how to get there; we loved the maps, and for the personalized service
offered.
To our friends at the hotel, we hope to see you again in the near
future.
Stewart, Lori, Shane & Michelle
