Innova Sultanahmet Istanbul

We had an excellent stay in the Innova Sultanahmet Istanbul hotel. The hotel is well positioned with the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Grand Bazaar and Basilica Cistern all within 10-15mins walk. The T1 tram linking the other side of the city, Galata etc is just up around the corner at the Cemberlitas stop. The hotel itself is spotlessly clean with very friendly and welcoming staff. The breakfast is outstanding with great views of the Bosphorus and beyond from the top floor restaurant were it is served. We had a Superior Double Room with balcony, so we could also enjoy these views. As it is the old part of the city, it is somewhat quieter at night compared to Karakoy for example, but we still found great places to eat and drink nearby. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

The location was very good with everything you need close by and staff are very attentive to all your needs.

Outside the hotel there are a lot of restaurants cafes etc, unfortunately you are approached by someone outside every single one of them to try and get your custom and when you politely say no thank you they get very pushy and not in a polite way! Not the hotels fault but it got so bad we didn't really want to go for a walk outside as we ended up with someone shouting at us.

L emplacement

Le bruit . Pas très agréable de se poser sur le balcon. Et la tapisserie qui se décolle dans la chambre. Le petit déjeuner restait assez limité en choix.

Excellent emplacement, petit déjeuner incroyable, varié, et avec une belle vue depuis la terrasse. Chambre spacieuse, une partie du personnel attentif (particulièrement les femmes)

Insonorisation catastrophique. Nous avions choisi une chambre avec balcon au dernier étage. Malgré ma demande de chambre éloignée du restaurant, nous étions juste en dessous. Le bruit des tables, chaises, jusqu'à plus de minuit, préparation du petit dej dès 6h30. Une prise en compte de nos importantes remarques uniquement la dernière nuit (sur 4). Ce n' est pas correct. Panier de fruits peu mur en guise d'excuse... Très insuffisant. L'accès au hamam est payant (sauf le sauna), idem, dommage. Chambres vieillissantes, mobilier vétusté, lit peu confortable.
