How we score
Each score is worked out by code from the facts this page shows, never from guests’ ratings or a writer’s opinion, and is given as 1 to 5 dots.
Near the sights: how close the nearest listed sight is, and how many are within 1 km. Rooms: the room sizes we show and how many types there are. Facilities: how many kinds the hotel lists (dining, pool or spa, fitness, front desk services, comfort and access). Families: whether children are welcome, and family rooms, a kids’ club or pool, a playground, babysitting. Wellness: spa, hammam, sauna, steam room, pools, gym and massage.
A score is left out when the hotel’s facts are too few to judge it.
Where Ahmet Efendi Evi sits
Ahmet Efendi Evi is a guest house at Keresteci Hakki Sokak No.23, Cankurtaran Mah., Sultanahmet, Istanbul (postcode 34122). Measured in a straight line, it stands about 0.3 km from the Sultan Ahmed Mosque, about 0.5 km from Hagia Sophia, about 0.6 km from the Basilica Cistern and about 0.7 km from Hagia Irene. Topkapı Palace is about 1.1 km away and the Süleymaniye Mosque about 2 km.
Sirkeci railway station is about 1.3 km away, in a straight line. Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) is about 30 km from the hotel and Istanbul Airport (IST) about 34.9 km.
From 12 m² doubles to 45 m² family rooms
The room types split into two groups. The Double Room, the Double Room with Balcony and Sea View, the Double Room, Terrace and the Twin Room are all 12 m² and each sleeps up to 3. The Double Room with Balcony and Sea View and the Double Room, Terrace both have a sea view; the Double Room has a queen bed, the Twin Room two twin beds, and the Double Room, Terrace a double bed.
The three family rooms, at 45 m², are close to four times the size of the doubles. Each has one queen bed, one sofa bed and one twin bed, so bedding is separated rather than shared. The Family Room has a city view. With children allowed at the hotel, the 45 m² rooms are the ones that suit a family, while a couple travelling light will find the 12 m² doubles enough.

What is on site, and for whom
Families are catered for directly: family rooms, babysitting, and children are allowed. Guests with disabilities have facilities for disabled guests, and room service can be ordered through a mobile app.
Parking at the hotel is paid, so anyone driving should expect a charge rather than a complimentary space.
Check-in, check-out and house rules
Check-in runs from 14:00 and check-out until 11:00. Children are allowed. Pets are not allowed. Parking is paid.
Who it suits and who it does not
The hotel suits travellers whose trip centres on the Sultanahmet sights: the Sultan Ahmed Mosque, Hagia Sophia and the Basilica Cistern are all within about 0.6 km in a straight line. It also suits families, who can take a 45 m² family room with three separate beds and babysitting on site, and guests who value an airport shuttle over navigating the roughly 30 km or 34.9 km to the airports on their own.
It does not suit pet owners, since pets are not allowed. Drivers should note that parking is paid.
