We had a room that we could hear restaurant noise and music till sometimes midnight. We were on a wing with no elevator so if you have mobility issues request an area that has a lift. There was not a large sampling of shampoos or conditioner or lotion. Just body wash.

Super location. Morning breakfast was great. An expresso would have added value. Staff was very helpful and pleasant.

I don’t have any negative things to say about the hotel

The location as well as value for money. the rooms are big ( I stayed in the family room). Very spacious and clean. The breakfast spread is wholesome and delicious with wonderful view. There are plenty of good restaurants near the hotel which is an added bonus

It has been long since it was last refurbished. Some appliances and furniture are not of prime condition. The conditioner was loud. I did not care but some might find it problematic.

I dreamt of coming to this hotel since I first saw it in 2006. It is very well located, but the best is its terrace with a view of the sea and the blue mosque.

Room was up too many stairs.

Location, breakfast food and terrace location. The room size was big.

Our room was on the third floor and there was no lift, however staff assisted us with our heavy cases

The hotel is wonderfully located in the historic part of Istanbul with amazing views of the sea and the Blue Mosque especially from the roof terrace where an adequate breakfast buffet was served

Hotel Sari Konak is in a great location, reasonable prices, comfortable beds and a very clean hotel. I would highly recommend this hotel. Our room was large, with a large closet, big spacious bathroom with dual sinks and the AC worked great. Our room was one level above the street level with restaurants all around the hotel and across the street, however with windows closed it was quiet. The rooftop terrace was excellent and we enjoyed our daily breakfast up there each morning. The staff were excellent, incredibly helpful and friendly. The hotel location is ideal as it is only a quick 5-minute walk to the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. Couple more minutes of walk to the tram and most of the must-see sights of Sultanahmet. No need to rent a car, we just used the tram to get to all our locations, including, Grand Bazaar, Egyptian/Spice Market, Galata bridge, Istiklal, Galata tower area and also Dolmabahçe Palace. Just down the street there is a Cheap Market 24/7 convenience store that was extremely helpful when you need to get bottled water, snacks, and other last-minute items for your room.

Nothing!

The hotel is in a very central location a few minutes walk from the two big Mosques. The rooms were extremely comfortable with big wide beds and well a very well appointed. The air conditioning was excellent and quiet. There is a lift to the third floor and easy stairs up to the roof terrace. Breakfast is served on this very pretty roof terrace and it’s also a great place to go too to watch the sunsetting behind the blue mosque and the boats out at Sea. The Terrace has very comfortable seating on it and is a welcome refuge from the hustle and bustle of the city.. the staff of extremely helpful and accommodating and will easily order taxis etc. There is also a lovely basement room looking onto a small enclosed terrace. There are plenty of good places to eat within a very short distance from the hotel, including some lovely rooftop terrace Restaurants.

We have no complaints.

We loved everything about this charming family-run hotel. It was ideally located for access to great restaurants, site seeing and shopping. The free morning breakfast was amazing with a wide assortments of foods and beverages, that varied daily. The front desk staff was very helpful and made arrangements for us including airport transfers and a visit to a Turkish bath. Our room was charmingly decorated and spacious, with a very comfortable bed, large bath and cold AC.

Noisy, busy location in the area of Sultanahmet that is teeming with over-priced restaurants and small hotels. Breakfast very basic compared to other hotels.

Large rooms, good quality furnishings.

Room decor is now somewhat dated

Great central Sultanahmet location. Roof terrace for breakfast, with expansive views across the Bosphorus.

Stayed in June 2024

Bathroom was a bit tired and need some updating. The furnishings - other than the beds - met our needs but were a bit dated and probably due for a refresh. But not much to dislike at Sari Konak.

Great location. Very friendly and helpful staff from helping with bags, recommending sites and restaurants and arranging car services etc. Breakfast was very expansive and tasty. Was bit to cool during our visit to use the patio or roof terrace but they looked wonderful for warmer weather. Nice linen and towels and daily room service. The family suite worked very well for our family of 4 (2 parents and 2 college age ladies). A very nice bargain.

Nothing.- only the shower head was a bit wonky

The guy at reception was delightful and helped with everything. The accommodation was in easy walking distance of many of the main attractions. We adored the basilica cisterna! The breakfast was excellent, with a range of delicious traditional foods. The room was quiet and comfortable although the shower head was a bit wonky. Lots of dining options around- the restaurant spruikers are everywhere and a bit overwhelming but good natured.
