The check in/out lady was not helpful. Did not allow for late checkout even though there were rooms available. Created inconvenience for us.

I booked this hotel for romantic getaway because of many great reviews and OK price. Unfortunately we were disappointed - our double room was tiny and maybe because of darkness with worn-out impression, look through window was awful - unkempt backyard full with garbage.

Good things - staff was helpful, breakfast was decent, very good view from breakfast room/terrace, very convenient to get to Haga Sophia and Blue Mosque.

So overall this hotel might be good as base for exploring Sultanhamet, but not for romance and I strongly recommend to be critical with very exited reviewers, whose only review is just about this hotel.

A wonderful hotel located in the heart of the Sultanahment. Just three minutes walk from Blue Mosque and Agia Sofia. Galata Bridge, Capali Market, and all of the major tourist sites are within easy walking distance.

Many good restaurants and cafes are also located nearby.

The Room (we stayed in a triple deluxe) was spacious, very clean with a sea view. Breakfast is rich and is served in a nice room with a fantastic view of the Marmara sea (A perfect way to start your day in Istanbul!!).

Staff was really great, very kind and always available to help you.

It was my third time in Istanbul but the first time I had such a great accommodation.
I’ll definitely stay again at Sumengen Hotel!

8 nights stay in Sumengen hotel was beautiful experience. very cleanand well decorated rooms, high quality beddings and furtniture. Breakfast lounge was well located, overseeing the marmara sea. Plenty of food selection. Most of all, staff was very courteous. highly highly recommended
