Anthemis Hotel

The room we got had a great view of Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. Breakfast was good, but coffee is not strong enough for me. Our room had a jacuzzi and my kids enjoyed it. Beds are comfortable and clean. The hotel is near everything, shops, restaurants, starbucks, mcdonalds, tourists spots.

The location was great — less than 2-minute walk to the tramline, making it very convenient for exploring the Sultanahmet Square area. The surroundings felt a bit tight and busy, with lots of nearby restaurants. There was some noise and music in the evenings, but it usually stopped around 2 am and sometimes earlier, so it didn’t disturb us too much. The staff were absolutely incredible — compassionate, caring, and always ready to help. When we had an emergency, they clearly guided us on what to do, arranged a taxi, and told us the exact cost upfront. Their kindness truly made a difference during our stay. A special shoutout to Serkan and Umut, who were more than accommodating — always going out of their way to be helpful, kind, and welcoming. Their warm greetings and genuine care stood out and were deeply appreciated. Our room was decent and comfortable. We stayed on the first floor with a French balcony, and actually had two balconies to step out onto — though without a view. The shower was amazing, and the iron was really handy. The air conditioning worked brilliantly, which was a big relief in the heat. The TV wasn’t great, but we hardly used it. The bathroom was well stocked with essentials like shampoo, conditioner, soap, and shower caps. In the cupboard, there was also a handy sewing kit available. They provided two bottles of water daily, and the room was cleaned every day. There was also a safe in the room for peace of mind. Throughout our stay, we felt safe, welcomed, and genuinely cared for. It’s a lovely hotel that many guests may enjoy depending on their preferences.

The Property was very near all the main attractions in Sultanahmet, like the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and Topkapi Palace.

I loved breakfast at the terrace. You could see all the famous, historical landmarks from the view. Blue mosque and Ayasofya are full view... The breakfast is excellent. But most appreciated part of them all is the staff of the hotel. Sinan at the breakfast is a great host. He is always so attentive and genuinely, enjoy people and likes his job. Mr Sahin, Serkan bey they are all very pleasant people. They make special effort that you have a good staying in Anthemis Hotel. I Thank them all.

Location is excellent, a short walk to all major attractions in the old town, really friendly staff, bars/restaurants literally on the doorstep. Breakfast was lovely and a fantastic view to start your day. 20% discount at the neighbouring bar/restaurant is a real bonus!
