The Sipahi Hotel is an excellent budget hotel in Istanbul. It is a hotel which has a very good position, very close to Istanbul's famous historical sites like the Sultan Ahmed Mosque or Hagia Sophia. Moreover, it is very close to the tram station "Cemberlitas" so the access is not a problem.The staff is very polite, helpful.

This was a great little place! The staff were the friendliest staff I've ever seen and were very welcoming. It's very close to all the main attractions and the rooms were clean and tidy.

I ended up at Sipahi Hotel in Istanbul after finding out that almost all hotels in Sultanahmet were full that weekend of September 2011. (In retrospective, there was a good reason Sipahi Hotel had rooms available when everyone else was full, as you''ll see below!) The location is not bad: the "hotel" (I place the word within quotes because this... More

Bathrooms were shared facilties which were dirty and smelly and the rooms were cramped and dirty. Most of the plumbing did not work in this hotel and the... More

Not a pleasant experience, dirty rooms, slack security, unhelpful staff, and truely filthy bathrooms. For the same price you can get much better hotels in the area, so don't choose this one!
