Hotels near Theodosius Cistern

"We had the most amazing 4 nights stay. We were on the 6th floor with incredible views. The room was modern and the hotel staff were all extremely friendly. Breakfast was delicious. The location you can beat as it was very close to all the major attractions. I would definitely recommend this hotel."

"We stayed at this hotel in 2023 and had a much better experience than this time. During our recent 10-night stay, the overall cleanliness was disappointing. The floors were dirty and were not cleaned even once during our stay, and the rooms had noticeable stains. A lot seems to have changed since 2023, unfortunately not for the better. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful, which we appreciated. However, the breakfast buffet manager was quite rude—not directly to us, but we overheard him speaking harshly, saying he “only has two hands” and showing attitude toward guests. The location is great, which is a big plus. Still, due to the cleanliness issues and overall decline in service, we would not choose to stay here again."

"Very comfortable stau"

"We stayed in late January earlier this year and the hotel was just perfect. Located close to all the major sites, everything was in walking distance including a plethora of restaurants. The hotel itself was welcoming with complimentary treats in the room which was a pleasant surprise and overall staff were helpful. Breakfast was brilliant, offering a wide selection and staff were attentive including Rehmatullah who took his time every morning to check in with us, absolutely lovely gentleman. Can't fault our stay and am looking to book my second stay with them!"

"The room was clean and comfortable. The staff were very helpful. The location was very central and within walking distance to shops and restaurants and major sites like Hagia Sophia Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern, Topkapı Palace, and Grand Bazaar. The breakfast buffet had a large selection of cold and hot options."

"Booked via Expedia, was looking for a hotel in historic Istanbul that had good reviews, this hotel certainly delivered. It's only 7mins walk to Sultanamet Square. Very friendly and helpful staff. Room was lovely and the bed was comfortable. Great breakfast too. I highly recommend this hotel. PS. here's also a really good cafe/restaurant directly opposite (Barbarosa), if like us you need food before exploring after arriving late afternoon."

"Great stay on my way to Russia. Restaurant upstairs was really good and had amazing views. I evidently booked a very small room and when I saw it, I asked to upgrade and was willing to pay for it. But, they graciously upgraded me to a gorgeous room with a view for free. I loved the restaurant with a terrace and spanning views of the city (it was a little pricey, but very delicious). Turkish breakfast was plentiful in the mornings. I did get to utilize the spa and booked a scrub treatment. The scrub part could have been a little longer and more rigorous, Hummam part was very nice. A friendly male attendant by the front desk drew a picture of Istanbul with my name on it, I enjoyed chatting with him between my sauna sessions. All in all it was a nice and relaxing stay:)"
