My stay at No20 Hotel Sultanahmet was overall pleasant. I truly loved the unbeatable location right across from the Blue Mosque, with major attractions like the Hagia Sophia just minutes away. However, the room was a bit small with dated fittings, and some might find it lacking in modern amenities.

My recent stay at No20 Hotel Sultanahmet was quite mixed. The location is unbeatable, with major attractions like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia just a short walk away! However, I did encounter some issues with the room size and overall facilities, which were a bit disappointing. The rooftop breakfast with stunning views was definitely a highlight that made up for some shortcomings. 😊

Rooms

The rooms were quite small, and my first room had a rather awkward view overlooking a brick wall. The bathrooms were also on the smaller side, but they were clean and functional. The second room with a better view was still compact but more comfortable than the first.

I enjoyed my stay at No20 Hotel Sultanahmet, primarily due to its excellent location near historical landmarks. However, I found the décor and furniture somewhat outdated, which detracted from my experience. The dining area provided a pleasant breakfast with lovely views, but I felt the room amenities could have been improved.

I had a mixed experience during my stay at No20 Hotel Sultanahmet. The location is fantastic, just a short walk from major attractions like the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making me feel right at home. However, the rooms were quite small and the views were limited, especially from the single room I stayed in first. Overall, it was a decent stay with some notable strengths, but the cramped accommodations left me wanting more.

Rooms

6.0

The rooms were small but very clean. I appreciated the modernized bathrooms, although the limited view from the windows was a downside. My first room felt awkward with its window opening to a corridor, and I felt a bit claustrophobic at times. Although I had a double room overlooking the street for my last night, I hardly heard any noise from outside, which was nice.

I had a decent stay at No20 Hotel Sultanahmet, thanks to its prime location near major attractions like the Blue Mosque and excellent transport links via the tram. However, the room left much to be desired with outdated furnishings and a less-than-pleasing layout, especially with the wet room setup. I did enjoy the rooftop breakfast with its great views, and there was a lot of variety in the offerings. Ultimately, this hotel is perfect for those looking to explore Istanbul but fell short for someone seeking comfort and a relaxing atmosphere. 🌉☕️

Rooms

The room I stayed in was somewhat outdated with hard beds and old furniture. I didn't appreciate the wet room setup where the shower and toilet are in close proximity, making it less than ideal for privacy.
