We spent our first 6 nights in Istanbul in Saruhan. We loved the hotel as it was located in a slightly less touristy part of Sultanahmet. There were plenty of original Ottoman style houses around, tiny winding streets, kids playing and local shops as well as nice low key tourist restaurants. It was a nice mix. The breakfasts were wonderful... More

good value for money. very nice reception, good English. nice turkish breakfast. if your windows are facing the sea, the mullah from the mosque can disturb a little about 5:30. and the football players till midnight. maybe a little bit too far from Sulatanhmet metro station, but colourful turkish district. overall very good opinion.

The rooms were very comfortable and the location was quiet. If you're looking for a busy hostel this is not the right area, but otherwise the all the mosques and the tram are walking distance and the breakfast is very good. However the hotel is hard to find for taxi drivers and this was the only annoyance.

Good location, especially if you travel by car, easy to acces from main route. Istanbul is all about hills, up and down, might be a little dificult to walk if you travel with small kids. From the hotel in five minutes you reach Blue mosque Sultanahmet Camii, from where you can take tramway. Or you can just explore the streets... More

We stayed here during winter, and were blown away by the experience. The rooms are quite spacious and very clean, with a lovely spacious balcony where you can enjoy the city or sea view (depending on your choice). The location is quite convenient as well, near the Sultanahmet tram station. Plus you can simply walk around to visit some famous... More

We stayed at the Saruhan hotel twice and really enjoyed the lovely atmosphere, spacious and clean room and friendly and helpful staff. It is located in a local area with a nice park nearby where we made snowmen with the local kids. Our boys also had fun playing at the soccer fields next to the hotel. Thank you, Harun, for... More

Super breakfast on roof overlooking the Sea on Marmara. Rooms clean and relatively inexpensive for Istanbul. Courteous efficient staff. Only a fifteen minute walk through a residential neighborhood to reach the major attractions.

This hotel is small, cozy and warm! You can really enjoy your stay there. the place where this hotel exists is near a lot of great attractions and important places. You can ask for whatever you want, the breakfast is amazing while you have it on the roof with the warm or cold weather! you will really enjoy it!
