Sokullu Pasa Hotel - Special Class recensioner

Very nice hotel

Proplem for AC

We stayed at the Sokhullu Pasa as part of a BA holiday package. The hotel was good value, and well located in the Sultanahmet area, just a 5-minute walk to the Blue Mosque, with a multitude of reasonably priced cafes and restaurants nearby. Our particular favourites were the Arch Restaurant for dinner, and the Rabbit Hole cafe for coffee and breakfast options. Prior to arrival we contacted the hotel to upgrade to a Superior room, which was beautifully decorated in traditional style, located on the 4th floor, with a lovely sea view, and importantly the room was very warm, and was a welcome retreat from a snowy Istanbul in February. Do bear in mind that if you book any extras (room upgrades, tours) direct with hotel, then they prefer cash payment in Euros, so best to come with plenty of cash to avoid getting ripped off by local ATMs. We weren’t impressed by the self service breakfast offering: the “hot” options (boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, and potatoes were barely lukewarm) and the Turkish meze items looked unappetising. In addition, the hotel staff were not particularly welcoming or hospitable, however we must commend housekeeping, as our room was always immaculately clean, and towels regularly changed

The hotel is a tiny bit dated but the staff are excellent and very helpful, and the breakfasts good. The location is very interesting and very near the main tourist sites but out of the tourist traffic. There is a very good restaurant next door

A retro style hotel run by the Nicest people and staff you could wish to meet . Helpful generous with their time. Made our stay a friendly warm occasion. Very close to all touristy hotspots. Plenty of smaller restaurants close by. Some serving alcohol. I was let down by my Insurance company STAYSURE Regarding an injury I sustained but the hotel proprietor arganised a walking stick for me. Much to my relief. And assistance. Thank you.. Great views out to sea from our room.

We recently stayed at Sokullu Pasa for 5 nights with family of eight and had an excellent experience.The room was clean and well equipped with all the basic amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. The staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, always ready to assist with any request. Special mention of Mr. Farat who was very kind and my guide to plan our family outing to any of the shopping areas and restaurants near by. The breakfast had a good spread. The hotel's location was perfect, close to all the histrorical attractions of Istanbul, unlimited restaurant options within walking distance and short walk to the beautiful water front area. Some rooms give a great view of the Sea. The hotel being in Fatih has a little hilly terrain. The Munhani restaurant attached to Sokullu Pasa serves great local cuising. Uber can be easy called online using the hotel wifi even if you don't have a local SIM or data. I would highly recommed Sokullu Pasa hotel for anyone looking for a relaxing and well organised stay!

Quirky boutique hotel in heart of old quarter with fabulous staff, close to all the major sites of historic centre. Very comfortable, amenable 'will do' attitude of all staff. Highly reccommend as a base. Hotel able to readily meet any usual tourist/traveller requests.

Sokullu Pasa is family-run by long-serving staff who are friendly, considerate and obliging. A well-presented breakfast, a variety of food for all tastes plus quick and efficient service by waiters, Mehmet and Fahti. The hotel is well maintained and furnished Turkish style. Rooms are immaculately serviced daily by two exceptionally helpful ladies and certain rooms overlook the Bospherous. There is no bar, however, the hotel does not object to the consumption of personal alcohol, provides glasses, ice etc., then enjoy your drinks in the pleasant garden so bring/buy your own supplies. The hotel is centrally located in the old town and convenient for the main attractions. I would also suggest organising transfers and tours through the hotel which provides a reliable service. Highly recommended. This was a BA organised five-night break.

We travelled to Istanbul for a long weekend and stayed at the sokullu Pasa hotel. It is very clean and tidy, and beautifully authentic. The rooms were cleaned every day and fresh water put in our fridge every day, a nice touch! The breakfast was varied with lots of choice, if they had crossiants it would have been perfect. Staff were helpful at all times. Highly recommend this hotel

Lovely comfortable hotel within easy reach of everything. Breakfast was very good, with lots of choices. The staff were always around and very helpful, especially at breakfast. Our room was cleaned every day. We travelled with British Airways Holidays.

Very well situated. Walking almost everywhere. Comfortable beds and good breakfast. People working there very nice and helpful. A bit noisy as our room has views to the street. A good price comparing with other hotels. I will repeat I'd I ever go again to Istanbul

The hotel is not a 5* venue, but is friendly, clean and gives a truly authentic Turkish vibe. I'm sure that in its price bracket you wont find better. We loved it. We had a superior double room with a fantastic balcony with views over the Sea of Marmara. The staff are wonderful, so friendly and helpful. Excellent breakfast sets you up for the day. A really short walk (uphill) to the hippodrome where you will find the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia. Also the tram line to explore the rest of Istanbul. We would thoroughly recommend and would definitely return!

We stayed together with friends for a few days. The location is great, in walking distance off the famous Sultanahmet square, the Ayasofia and lot more.. The room is very clean with comfortable bed . The breakfast is various and fresh. Mehmet at the reception is very kind and polite , we had such fun with him.Also a compliment for Fatih at the restaurant. We sure recommend everyone to stay at this lovely hotel. Thanks for everything. See you next time!❤️

Our first time in Istanbul, so we chose a BA holiday, and hence this hotel. What a pleasure, both to be in such a great location and to find such a gem nestled in the heart of it. The hotel is small, like most other independent hotels in the Ancient district, but that allows for friendly, more personal customer service. Our en-suite room was basic but very clean and comfortable (which is all we need when we're out exploring all the time!). The buffet breakfast offered a mix of Turkish and Mediterranean foods, with fabulous coffee (of course)! No dinner is available, but it sits right next door to an excellent and affordable restaurant, Garden 1897. The hotel's split-level garden was a great place to 'take tea' in the afternoons, Turkish style, and offered a quiet space amidst the hustle and bustle on the streets. As for location, it really was a great choice. Just a few minutes walk will take you to places such as the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, the Topkapi Palace and (our favourite place) Basilica Cistern. A 15-20 minutes walk will get you to the Spice Bazaar and the Grand Bazaar, and to the river for the ferries. Cannot say enough about the staff. Virtually all had excellent English, and were able to offer as much advice as we needed; plus, booking things for us such as an evening dinner cruise on the Bosphorous. The clincher, however, had to be the surprise of the British themed leather sofa, what can I say ? ;-)
