Adamar Hotel-Special Category in Sultanahmet

The Adamar Hotel-Special Category stands on Yerebatan Caddesi in Sultanahmet, Istanbul, postcode 34110. The Basilica Cistern is about 0.2 km away in a straight line, Hagia Sophia about 0.3 km, Hagia Irene about 0.4 km and the Sultan Ahmed Mosque about 0.5 km. Topkapı Palace is about 0.7 km and the Süleymaniye Mosque about 1.3 km, both in a straight line.

Sirkeci railway station is about 0.6 km away in a straight line. Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) is about 30.6 km from the hotel; a paid airport shuttle and paid airport pick-up and drop-off are among the hotel's services.

The Single Room is the smallest at 15 m² and sleeps one, though it holds both a twin bed and a double bed, so a solo traveller gets a choice of where to sleep. The Double or Twin Room, at 19 m², comes with either one double bed or two twin beds, which suits a couple or two people who want separate beds.

The Deluxe Room with Sea View is 22 m² with one double bed and, as its name says, a sea view. The two largest rooms are both 25 m²: the Triple Room has two twin beds and a sofa bed, while the Family Room packs in two twin beds, four sofa beds and a queen bed and sleeps up to six, the only room with a stated capacity that large. Families fit the Family Room; groups beyond six would need more than one room.

The hotel has a restaurant and a bar, plus room service, so meals and drinks can be taken in the room as well as on site. A coffee shop is also part of the property.

For arrivals and departures, the hotel offers a paid airport shuttle, and parking at the hotel is paid. There is a lift, which matters in a property with rooms spread over floors, and family rooms are among the room types. WiFi is free, and rooms are air-conditioned and soundproofed.

Check-in is from 13:00 and check-out until 12:00. Children are allowed at the hotel, and pets are not. Parking is paid.

The front desk is staffed 24 hours, with express and private check-in and check-out options for those who want a quicker arrival or departure.

This hotel suits travellers who want to be within a few hundred metres, in a straight line, of the Basilica Cistern, Hagia Sophia and the Sultan Ahmed Mosque, with the practical back-up of a restaurant, room service, a bar and a paid airport shuttle. Families are well served: children are allowed, family rooms exist, and the Family Room sleeps up to six.

Pet owners cannot bring their animals. Solo travellers and couples have rooms sized and bedded for them, from the 15 m² Single Room to the 22 m² sea-view deluxe.
