Sublime Porte Hotel

Such a cozy hotel next to the main attractions (Blue Mosque, Basilica Cisterna, Topkapi, etc). Perfect location and amazing, very helpful staff. A huge thank you to Emre for our amazing stay in Istanbul. In addition, there is a small nice garden with the kitchen which is accessible 24/7.

We stayed at the Sublime Porte Hotel in Istanbul's old town for 3-nights in mid-May ($259 Can). It is a small hotel, beside the Topaki Palace's wall perched on a slope facing the Sea of Marmara downstream from the Bosporus outlet, a short 5-min walk to the Palace, Blue Mosque, Aya Sofya and Basilica Cistern, and ~20 min to the Grand Bazaar. While the Sublime Porte is a small hotel, they rented the top floor room through Airbnb. The room was clearly the best in the hotel, a large suite with a sea view balcony. The bedroom area was open to the bathroom at the back and fronted by the large, full-width balcony (table and 2 chairs) with stunning views of the palace walls and the ocean beyond, ideal for watching the ships go by while having breakfast or sipping a sunset drink. The room was furnished with a comfortable queen bed with side tables, a long desk, plenty of storage space in a wardrobe plus 4 sets of 3-drawer cabinets. The bathroom was large with plenty of counter space and a large shower with good water pressure. You should note that the bathroom is open to the bedroom, but the toilet is almost out of view behind the shower. Also note that the room is on the third floor up narrow staircases, but the staff will help with the luggage. Best of all was our host, Emrah. He spoke English fluently, and he was cheerful, friendly and helpful, a great source of information (need a SIM card, he will rent you one; want a Bosporus cruise, he will book it and don't pay him if you don't like it; want a local restaurant, he will give you recommendations and steer you away from the tourist traps), and always good for a chat when ever we saw him. Overall, an excellent choice in what can be an expensive city. The hotel in general is great, but definitely go to the extra expense to book the top floor suite. You won't be disappointed.

This is my fourth visit to this place still amazing place very nice and quite place room is really good and clean staff are amazing always very helpful specially Emrah anything I ask for he is always there helping me out I like the new eating area great view also I would definitely come back again

We stayed for 3 nights my trip was from New York It was incredible, I had never been in such a comfortable hotel Since the attention of your manager on arrival, transportation, cleaning the room, breakfast and location Front desk guy Emrah helped us with our bags and everything we needed to know about the city we will return in 2 months and we will return to this same hotel I recommend it 100%.

I tested positive for covid last week so could not travel. After checking the *********** website, I found the hotel had vacancies in July so I asked the hotel for a change to my booking to July instead. They refused to change my booking even though I made the request well in advance of me arriving but instead choose to debit my credit card the full amount before my booking even started. Travellers need to be aware that this is how this hotel treat guests and potential guests. booking number 3958643938
