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). 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.
Sultanahmet, about 0.3 km from the Sultan Ahmed Mosque
The Avicenna Hotel - Special Class is an independent hotel in Sultanahmet, Istanbul.
- Sultan Ahmed Mosque: about 0.3 km
- Hagia Sophia: about 0.4 km
- Basilica Cistern: about 0.5 km
- Hagia Irene: about 0.6 km

Four room types, 17 m² to 20 m², courtyard or sea views
There are four room types, and all are compact. The Standard Double or Twin Room and the Standard Single Room are each 17 m² and look onto the courtyard. The Superior Double or Twin Room and the Superior Single Room are each 20 m² and have sea views, so the step up in category buys more space and a different outlook rather than a large jump in space.
The Standard Double or Twin Room has one queen bed and sleeps up to two, which makes it the straightforward choice for a couple. The Standard Single Room has one twin bed and sleeps one. Of the larger pair, the Superior Double or Twin Room has one double bed and sleeps up to three, the highest count of any room here, so it is the one a third traveller needs; the Superior Single Room has one twin bed and sleeps up to two. A solo traveller choosing between the two singles weighs the Standard Single's courtyard view against the Superior Single's sea view and extra space.
| Room type | Size | Beds | Sleeps | View |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Double or Twin Room | 17 m² | 1 queen bed | up to 2 | courtyard view |
| Standard Single Room | 17 m² | 1 twin bed | up to 1 | courtyard view |
| Superior Double or Twin Room | 20 m² | 1 double bed | up to 3 | sea view |
| Superior Single Room | 20 m² | 1 twin bed | up to 2 | – |
Snack bar and deli, banquet hall and a spa nearby
The hotel is wheelchair accessible and has a snack bar and deli, a banquet hall and street parking. A health or beauty spa is nearby rather than part of the hotel.
Check-in, check-out, children, pets and parking
Check-in is from 14:00 and check-out until 12:00. Children are not allowed and pets are not allowed, so the hotel is open to adults only. Parking is on the street.
Who the Avicenna suits, and who it does not
The hotel suits adults visiting Sultanahmet: couples, friends travelling together and solo travellers who want small, simply sized rooms close to the Sultan Ahmed Mosque, Hagia Sophia and the Basilica Cistern. The Superior Double or Twin Room is the only room that takes a third person, so groups of three adults have one option here.
It does not suit families with children, since children are not allowed, or anyone travelling with a pet. Travellers who want a pool, a spa within the hotel or generous room sizes will not find them here: the spa is nearby, and no room is larger than 20 m².
