Sultanahmet inn Hotel
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-22.
Sultanahmet inn Hotel is worth booking if you want a cheap base within a 5-minute walk of the Blue Mosque and can accept small bathrooms. Skip it if bathroom condition matters a lot to you, because guest feedback flags tiny spaces and visible mold.

This is a 3-star budget pick in Fatih, aimed at travellers who plan to spend their days out. It suits first-time visitors who want the old city on foot, families who need a family room, and anyone arriving by car who wants the free parking the property lists.
Skip it if you are sensitive about bathrooms. The most specific complaint from guests is about extremely small spaces, narrow showers, tiny sinks and visible mold on tiles. Also think twice if you want a hotel for lounging all day. Room size, noise and renovation condition have not been assessed by us.
Location and getting around
The hotel is on Akburçak Sokak No 23, in Fatih. Guests rate the location 9.3 out of 10. Distances below are straight-line estimates, not verified walking routes.
The Blue Mosque is 0.4 km away, about 5 minutes on foot. Topkapı Palace is 1.4 km, about 18 minutes. The Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople is 3.4 km away, about 43 minutes. That is far on foot, so plan on public transport or a taxi for it.
Guests also mention being within walking distance of Hagia Sophia and public transport links. We have no measured time for Hagia Sophia, so check it on a map before you book.
What guests say
The score is 8.6 out of 10 from 1,091 guest reviews. That is solid, but it ranks joint 11th of the 13 properties we compared on review score. Read it as a good result for the price, not a top performer.
Guests praise two things: the location, and a friendly, polite team available around the clock to help with luggage and transport. The main complaint is the bathroom, described as very small with narrow showers, tiny sinks and visible mold on tiles.
Facilities listed by the property include free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a garden, a terrace, family rooms and free parking. The breakfast is listed as halal buffet.
Price and what you get, compared with our other two picks
All prices here are reference prices for 10 to 12 Nov 2026, for 2 adults in one room. They are not live quotes.
Our comparison used €47.88 per night, which is 52% below the sample median of €100.10. Another price field in our data shows €75.60 per night. We cannot say why they differ, so treat roughly €48 to €76 as the range and confirm the real rate for your dates.
Our Best Value pick, Old Harbour Hotel istanbul (3 stars, 9.2), is €114.75 per night. Our Luxury pick, Çırağan Palace Kempinski Istanbul (5 stars, 9.4), is €513.38. Sultanahmet inn Hotel scores lower than both, but it costs far less.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 13 properties in Istanbul. This hotel became the Budget choice because €47.88 per night was the lowest eligible reference price once the upscale choice was reserved.
So the case for it is price and position. You get a short walk to the Blue Mosque for about half the sample median. The tradeoff is a lower review score and the bathroom complaint.
Before you book
Check the current price for your dates, since the reference price may not match what you see. Confirm whether breakfast is included, as that has not been assessed. Check the cancellation terms too.
Ask the hotel about bathroom condition and room size for the room you are booking. If you need parking, confirm availability and any fees for your dates. Finally, look up the walking route to Hagia Sophia and other sights yourself.
