This is a family-owned hotel in the heart of the Sultanahmet district, which is a great location - just a few minutes walking distance to the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, and near the Coast of Marmara Sea. If some people dislike this hotel, it’s probably because of the area around the hotel – it could shock you at the... More

We found this hotel to have the cheapest rate at one of the bests locations in Istanbul: some meters behind the Sultanahmet square and the blue mosque. Room was spacious and super comfy, with all what you need. People at reception was very attentive and the buffe for breakfast was much better than the one serving at hotel flowerpalace in... More

We had booked this on Expedia after reading the positive reviews. However, our experience dealing with this hotel has been terrible. A day before our trip, we received a one-line email saying that our booking was cancelled because of "insufficient funds in your credit card".

It was really great to stay there. Clean, good size room. Staff is beyond expectations. Manager of this hotel Omer took care of us in every single detail. Just listen to his advises. Once we made a mistake and did the opposite to what he told us in Istanbul. So, we payed the price. Location is great. Just 3-5 min... More

The breakfast area was on the rooftop, giving a nice view.The beds were a bit hard,but clean. The room was situated in the third floor, with steep stairs getting there. A bit hard with... More

My dad and I stayed a night during a stopover in Istanbul. We found the Magnificent Hotel a very good option if you don't want to spend a lot of money and you want to visit the main sightseeings. It's a little hard to find this small hotel if you are not familiar with the area. The locals will have... More

The Magnificent is ideally located in Sultanahmet. We had a room at the front which was small but comfortable and clean, if a bit noisy at night. The hotel is clean and well maintained with friendly helpful staff. The roof terrace is very nice and the breakfast very good. The only thing, and the reason we gave it an average... More
