I have stayed at this hotel several times in the last 25 years. I've always found it clean and the staff very friendly and helpful. It is not a luxury hotel by any standard, but the location is truly fantastic. Ask for a room facing the Blue Mosque. If you are traveling on a budget and want a safe place... More

Right in old town, view of both the famous mosques, I was there in cold weather so no outdoor terrace... However breakfast good, staff pretty helpful, just walk outside and feel the ambience... Ignore carpet sellers, you will have a thousand friends in Istanbul. I would go again, place is old, clean however, very old town, but that's just what... More

The hotel was centrally located, not more than 10 min walk from any of Sultanahmet major attractions. The front desk staff was accommodating and friendly not pushy at all. The best feature of the hotels is... More

I've stayed in Hali many times, last time at the end of last year and beginning of the new one. I choose this hotel for many reasons - it's conveniently located in the very heart of Sultanahmet, the historic part of Istanbul, in a side lane, which makes it a very quiet and sort of secluded. It's within walking distance... More

Have been staying at Hali for over 7 years when I visit Istanbul yearly. Its the view from the 5th Floor terrace area where you have breakfast, that's truely spectacular. It overlooks the Blue Mosque, Hagai Sophia and the Bosphorus and Sea of Mamara. Location could not be better and walking distance to major tourist attractions in the Old City,... More
