"I used to study World History starting when I was just 8yrs old. Istanbul is an excellent place to put ones very own feet and understand how history books are telling us. Having said in that perspective needs someone to stay in a place where studying gives you a serene and nice ambiance while keeping yourself relaxed walking in the vicinity during night time wondering how people in the Byzantine and Ottoman period would have been - without being exhausted and starved; cafes and restaurants are just few steps away. Walking some 4-5 minutes up the terrain will give us the flamboyant view of the magnificent Sultanahmet Mosque (Blue Mosque) and the renowned Hagia Sophia. Standing at the Arasta Bazaar gave me a better view on how this historical area; the Sultanahmet, it gave me a better look upon the Marmara Sea, the Bosphorus & the Golden Horn and understanding how people centuries back and today appreciate the place. Far along the road on my sight is the signage " Hotel Sumengen". This makes anyone feel the real essence of being a traveler and a tourist. This made Hotel Sumengen an excellent place to me apart from the very warm service; I’ll be back to Istanbul, and I’ll be back to Hotel Sumengen."

"This hotel is centrally located if visiting the Old City sights is your main aim. The breakfast terrace - with views of the Sultanahment mosque and the sea - is a pleasant place to start the day, or to lounge at any time. Our room was neat and impeccably clean, with a great view of the Sultanahmet mosque. The neighbourhood is quiet (except for the calls to prayer) as it's at the quieter end of the Hippodrome, but within easy reach of all other areas of the city."

"Surprisingly quiet and relaxing in the middle of the Sultanahmet area very close to the Çemberlitas tramway station. Very close to all amenities and only a 5 min walking distance to the Grand Bazaar. The staff has always been exceptionally courteous and accommodating. Thank you for the great Türk kahvesi and çay! The WIFi is excellent which was very important for me. The wood floors, the tiny but nicely decorated rooms, the reception area everything just was perfect. The hotel is sparkly clean. Thank you for accommodating me, Omar! I can't wait to come back again"

"A comfortable hotel in an excellent location on the edge of the old town at Sultanahmet. All the popular sights are within a short walk of the hotel. The Blue Mosque is only a 5 minute walk away. Our good quality room was spacious enough, characterful, cosy, clean, well lit, with an opening window with views of the mosque. Room heating was excellent, and the bathroom was clean and functional. Breakfast was served in a very characterful room – it has its own archaeological excavations! The breakfast was tasty with a reasonable selection of food and drinks. The only thing that puzzled us was why the only bread toaster in the breakfast room that was obviously faulty (and the staff knew this) was not replaced. Even after our fourth day there it continued to frustrate customers and billow black smoke. The reception staff were friendly and helpful, but we did not take up their suggestion of where to go for seafood. There are so many places around near the Galata Bridge that it hardly seems necessary to be recommending a particular restaurant to customers. We found that the Galata Bridge is an interesting comfortable walk from the hotel. The atmosphere around the bridge is excellent. Hundreds of people were eating 5 Lira fish sandwiches on the waterfront. We did too and they were delicious. Suggestion for a second seafood meal: Walk right across the bridge and immediately turn left into the local fish market. There are several cafes amongst the fish stalls that serve excellent, freshly cooked sardines and larger fish, along with big fresh salads, all at an inexpensive price. We certainly recommend the Acra Hotel as an excellent value for money place to stay in a perfect location in Sultanahmet with so many interesting things to see a comfortable walk away. We never had to use taxis while staying in Sultanahmet. "

"Booked this hotel at agoda as we are looking for a hotel within sultanahmet area. Pleasantly surprised that the hotel was well maintained since we got these 5 rooms at deep discount. Bedroom was nicely decorated and looks really new. Found extensive selection at breakfast too. Oh last but not least super friendly and helpful guest relation director who even agreed to drop us off at Taksim on her way back home :) Will definitely stay again if we are in Istanbul. "

"Location of this hotel is superb! Only 2-3 minutes walking away from Sultanahmet gardens, where you will directly access to Hagia Sophia and The Blue Mosque. I was traveling with my 79 yo Mother, using a wheelchair occasionally. We booked triple room type to get extra space for our luggages and her wheelchair. Room has window but the view was in fact decorated wall. Bedroom was clean, bed and pillows were comfortable. Bathroom with shower cubicle was clean. Our toilet bowl was a bit of a problem as the water kept running after we flushed but technician managed to fix it. Breakfast variety was great for us! They alternate eggs menu every other day, which was good for us. Staffs were helpful and friendly, as they were trying their best for us to check in, especially by look at my old mother who needed to rest and refresh upon our arrival at the hotel. Overall our experience was great! We liked the hotel, we recommend it to friends and family. Thank you!"

"The receptionists were quite helpful as was the support staff. They managed us a airport shuttle while checking out in a moments notice. The view from our room was amazing and the view from the terrace is worth the admission price. great views of the bosphorus, as well as ayasofia & Blue mosque. It was a 5 mins walk to the sultanahmet square and the road is filled with restaurants. The breakfast was great with decent variety. 2 things which bothered me a little, only one complimentary bottle of water for a 3 night stay & small bathroom. Apart from these 2 nitpicks, Amazing!"
