We found the legendary Turkish grace and warmth entirely missing at this hotel. It's a pity that these folks are even in the hospitality business. Some examples -- complete unwillingness to help with simple directions and suggestions, cold almost unfriendly responses to questions, refusing to look up and acknowledge us even as we were handing over keys at the reception....

There are so many hotels in the tourist hot spot that is Sultanahmet that it is hard to choose a base. The Sari Konak is small, well appointed and perfectly located with restaurants and shops all around. The main sights are just five minutes away. Service is friendly and efficient, with a good briefing (including a useful city map) on... More

I stayed here with my 75yr old mother in May and from the initial queries about availability to the end of our stay the service was excellent. We were welcomed very warmly by Mustafa and were pleasantly surprised by our room. We headed straight up to the wonderful roof terrace for a drink and were again warmly welcomed by Hassan.... More

This is a super place, very close to the main mosques and palaces and with comfortable and spacious rooms (though rather nasty foam pillows could be improved upon) and a super roof terrace (managed by the friendly Hassan) with many comfortable rattan chairs and tables with a 'to die for' view of the blue mosque and the sea of marmara....

We liked lots of things about this hotel - the rooms were well-appointed, breakfast was extremely good and the staff were friendly and helpful. It was also very convenient for sightseeing. The main problem was not the fault of the hotel at all - just that Sultanahmet in full tourist swing is exhausting. We preferred staying (and especially eating) on... More

Well-appointed, and perfectly located in the touristy part of town. Plenty of restaurant choices, although for variety I'd head to Taksim myself. The reception was never less than friendly, and breakfast, served upstairs with a view or in the elegant downstairs in rainy weather, was adequate, fresh and with tea/ coffee generously dispensed. Only gripe might be the spotty wifi... More

We really liked this place. Our room was cute and comfy. The staff were really helpful and friendly and the place had a nice vibe to it. Breakfast consisted of dried fruits, yoghurt, good bread, a selection of cold meats, olives & fresh fruit. Really recommend it More

My husband and I stayed at Sari Konak for 4 nights; the hotel and location were perfect for our trip. We had a deluxe room (301) that had a nice little setee by the window. The airport pickup and return was a little disjointed, but I'm glad I didn't have to hassle with a taxi. The hotel is very centrally... More

What an absolutely lovely hotel. The place is just perfect and perfectly decorated. Neither too much or too little. It feels much more like you are staying in someone's home than in a hotel. But, that is not to say that it is folksy. Just that is it so lovingly put together, it doesn't feel at all corporate or mass-produced.... More
