I absolutely loved my stay at Valide Sultan Konağı in Istanbul. It’s such a wonderful hotel with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The cleanliness stood out from the moment we arrived—everything was spotless and well-maintained. A huge thank you to Ramazan, who made our stay extra special. He went out of his way to arrange a thoughtful birthday gift for my son, which was such a kind and memorable gesture. Breakfast was another highlight, especially with Ramazan’s special eggs—cooked to perfection and a great way to start the day. The location couldn’t be better—just a 3-minute walk to Aya Sofya and situated right behind Topkapi Palace. It made exploring Istanbul so easy and convenient. With its amazing staff, perfect location, and welcoming atmosphere, I can’t recommend Valide Sultan Konağı enough. It’s the ideal place to stay in Istanbul!

The hotel is lovely and more traditional Turkish style and nice size rooms, they treat everyone like family. All the staff are warm and embracing, really helpful. Highly recommend this property for you stay, right next to Haigha Sofiya and Topkapi Palace. Arasta Bazaar is a short walk and Blue Mosque, everything is a short distance. I would definitely stay at this hotel on my next visit to Istanbul.

Location is perfect for accessing key sites and tram line, with Hagia Sophia only 5 minutes up the hill. There is a beautiful small mosque on the doorstep for easy access and beautifully lead prayers. The hotel was perfect for us, family run, relaxed and very friendly atmosphere. Nothing was too much trouble for the three men on reception and chef Abdullah does a brilliant job with breakfast and stops to chat as he goes about his work. Ramazan is probably the crown jewel of the place! To sum it up, a charming team of staff that make this hotel what it is. Much preferred the feel of this place than the corporate, souless type

Great staff, awesome location, really good breakfast with awesome views. The one major negative: The rooms are tiny. And I mean very very very small. Not even space to keep a single bag flat. Not even enough to open closet door fully. And only 1 power point in the room. For me, the room being so so small was unexpected and disappointing. Bathroom is small too - shower door opens inside the shower, I don't know if a large person can even manage to get in. But 5* for the elderly gentleman helping at breakfast. What a good way to start the day.

I can’t praise this hotel enough. First there is hardly a better location for a tourist in all of Istanbul. It is THE closest hotel to Hagia Sophia (a place that gets huge lines in the day, but I strolled one minute from the hotel in the morning and had Hagia Sophia to myself). Breakfasts are excellent, and they are located on the top floor, with a spectacular view of Hagia Sophia on one side and the Bosphorus on the other. Ramazan (aka Rambo) will cook for you and charm you for every breakfast (something he’s been doing for 27 years). The rest of the staff are extremely friendly and accommodating. My room was a little small, but I got a single, so it was everything I wanted, including a lovely, modern bathroom. They’re also good about arranging day trips that pick you up from the hotel (I went to Troy). All of this at a price that is very reasonable. It’s not often that I gush about a hotel, but this is the perfect choice for a first-time tourist visit to Istanbul.

Just amazing!
A beautiful boutique hotel with the wonderful and friendly staff at the desk and especially at the breakfast (Ramadan/aka Rambo). Great breakfast on the top floor and the hotel is within walking distance to everything! The rooms are too small, but that’s what you expect from an old and historic hotel. A busy area with some noise, but awesome views and we definitely stay here again. Thanks to all the stuff that made our stay enjoyable.
