I had a pleasant stay at Ayasultan Hotel, primarily due to its excellent location near major attractions like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. The cleanliness of the rooms was commendable, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout my visit. However, the breakfast options were somewhat limited, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, it’s a great hotel for those looking for a comfortable stay in Istanbul! 😊🇹🇷

My stay at Ayasultan Hotel was quite mixed. The location was unbeatable, placing me just a short walk from landmarks like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. However, the initial room I received was disappointing, with a strong unpleasant odor in the bathroom. I eventually moved to a standard room, but it didn't match the photos I had seen online. The staff, however, were consistently friendly and helpful throughout my visit.

I had mixed feelings about my stay at Ayasultan Hotel. The location was fantastic, only a short walk from major attractions like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, which made my sightseeing experience very convenient. However, the room was smaller than expected, and I faced issues with the air conditioning that were not addressed satisfactorily. Overall, while the staff were friendly and the breakfast offered a decent variety, I think there are better options in the area for the price I paid.
