This was the best hotel that we found during our stay. It was conveniently located behind Hagia Sophia, so traveling around that part and Grand Bazaar was easy. The staff are friendly and give you great advice on sightseeing options. We took their advice on sunset Bosphorus cruise and that was the best. Breakfast was phenomenal along with their front desk staff, chefs, and housekeepers. I would stay in Hotel Amira again.

I really was expecting something better. I saw the reviews and it said Exceptional, 9.7, I know that when I book the hotel the only room available was the economy room for 2, I was thinking they would be able to upgrade me, and they upgraded me to a similar room that was for 3 people, (so it was a little bigger) but we were 2, so I didn't care for that room, I wanted a more modern room. The people that works in the hotel were fenomenal, specially the manager, who was willing to cancel part of my reservation, because he felt bad for us, even that my reservation was supposed to be non refundable. What I want to clear out, is that the pictures in the website and in Expedia, doesn't have anything to do with the type of room I got, even the common areas weren't as nice as in the pictures. But like I said, probably the personal made a big difference.

We just stayed for a night before heading to Konya. We love this hotel more than the other hotel we stayed in Ahmedsultan area. The room and bathroom were very clean and smells nice. It’s well maintained. The front desk, Sam helped us to find a taxi with reasonable price. All staff were friendly. Would definitely stay with them again when we visit Istanbul!

Very kind and professional staff for a very good price. Considering the price I paid. I was extremely impressed with how great the amenities and location were. The shower was amazing, though I stayed for only one night I wish I could have stayed for more. Best honeymoon stay for a first two days. We got to experience everything and the breakfast and terrace were amazing!

The staff went out of their way to accommodate us by getting us into a room early and offered us a complimentary meal while we waited. We were treated VERY well here and it was a short walk to all of the important sites in Sultanahmet.

If you are looking for a nice and affordable hotel in the middle of the old city then this is a great spot. The staff are extremely helpful and will help you figure out what sort of things you need to get around town. All the historical sites are withing walking distance, and they will even find and negotiate with a taxi driver to get you the best price if you decided to go a bit further around town. Even helped explain how to get a public transport card so you can take a bus/tram or ferry with minimal effort. Great friendly staff who love to help

I was impressed and i travel 2 weeks each month to foreign countries. The entire staff from the front desk, the dining, and housekeeping were excellent! Thank you.

Amira is a great hotel if you plan to visit the European side of Istanbul and want things in a walking range. We traveled with an 1yo (early walker) and the location was perfect. We were able to take breaks and visit the sights in walking distance. The property is immaculately clean and the staff puts in the effort to keep it that way. They were helpful in helping plan out excursions and had helpful tips for travelers. They even suggested great locations to get handicrafts, meals and souvenirs. The breakfast buffet was well stocked with local delights --- honey on the comb, olives, the special breads, walnuts, etc. The eating area was super clean all the time and staff put extra effort to make us feel welcome. I wish we could stay longer to enjoy more. We will definitely be back to explore and enjoy more

What a great boutique hotel in the heart of old Istanbul. The check-in and check-out process could not have been any easier and reminded me of the easier times checking into hotels in the USA. It’s crazy how far a little ease and hospitality can go. Bravo to the hotel and staff.

The level of customer service here is incredible. Every single person that worked in this place seemed to be extra attentive to our needs. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the shower had awesome pressure - all of the things that I typically use to evaluate a property. We felt completely safe walking anywhere and everywhere we needed to. I would absolutely stay here again if we came back.

Friendly hotel
Hotel location is great, walkable to many attractions and monuments, 10 min walking distance from tram. Staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful. They gave us good advices. The view from the roof is beautiful. Rooms are clean and have all amenities. Gym is well equipped. Breakfast is average, but the lady who prepares Turkish gozleme is real asset. If not for her, we would most likely took breakfast outside. Overall, we are happy with our stay.
