Being first timers in a new place is such a challenge in finding that perfect place to stay that will make a good and long last impression to us. Luckily we were very relieved and made the right choice by booking Sultan Hamit Hotel right at the heart of Sultanahmet where the famouse Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque are just around the corner as well as the Blue waters of the Bosphorus strait is nearby. It is a bit far from the airport but the place itself is just utter beauty and less crowded than Taksim square and Galata Tower district so its all worth it!!! We took a cab from airport because our flight got delayed and checked-in around 5 pm. Check-in was fast and efficient and we were booked on 4F. The hotel is located at the corner of cobbled streets and has a romantic and relaxing ambience similar to that of Europe. There are short stairs leading up to the lobby and one of the staff helped us carry our things up to our room - good first impressions!!! The cute, warm, cozy lobby with a lovely Christmas tree on your left by the window beside an elegant brown sofa tops it all off - everytime I enter their lobby I feel relaxed and joyful - this is a great way to start our magical and happy experience here at Sultan Hamit!!! The room we booked is so huge and spacious and maintained the aesthetic beauty of Turkish designs. It has a Brown/Orche/White tones and has a lovely brown carpeted floor which is very relaxing. There is a huge toilet on your right and a view of the neighbourhood on the left. A bronze lounge sofa by the window is on the left with a small circular coffee table. Adjacent to the sofa is a huge wardrobe with compartments with a free Sleeping robes, Slippers, Extra Towels, a Safety box and Mini-fridge located here. Across this side of the room - we have a double bed, a single bed,and the most idyllic view of the Sea of Bosphorus which I loved every morning especially those soaring Sea Gulls and adoring Cats which are plentiful in Istanbul. The bed is so clean, comfy and smooth that we just loved lying down on it! and we slept very well!! I loved the Orche wallpaper with ornate and intricate Turkish style patterns. They also placed 3 super lovely abstract wall paintings. There are side tables on each side of the bed with power outlets. In front of our bed is their TV which has lots of local and cable channels and WiFi was quite fast. Airconditioning and heating is also easy to manage and use and kept us warmth on some cold winter nights. There is a bar table located on this side and they provided us complimentary tea/coffee/bottled waters and kettle/cups. I also loved their Golden framed mirrors attached on the wall beside the toilet. I also loved their cozy, warm, romantic Wall Lamps attached on each side of the room. The toilet and shower is also very clean and spacious. In Sultan Hamit, they have toilet bidets which is a big plus for me!!! They provided complimentary toiletries, hair dryers and the water pressure is strong exc
