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.
Sultanahmet location
The Avicenna Hotel Sultanahmet stands on Mimar Mehmet Aga Cad. in the Sultanahmet district of Istanbul, postcode 34400. Hagia Irene is about 0.6 km, Topkapı Palace about 1 km, and the Süleymaniye Mosque about 1.9 km.
For arrivals and departures by train, Sirkeci railway station is about 1.2 km away in a straight line. Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) is about 30.1 km from the hotel; the hotel offers an airport shuttle and airport pick-up and drop-off, all paid, which matters for a transfer of that length.
Two room types: 17 m² standard and 20 m² superior
The hotel keeps its room list short: a Double or Twin Room and a Superior Double or Twin Room. Both offer the same bedding choice, one queen bed or two twin beds, so the decision between them comes down to size and view rather than beds.
The standard Double or Twin Room is 17 m² and sleeps up to 3, which makes it workable for a couple, or for two adults sharing the twin configuration. The Superior Double or Twin Room is larger at 20 m² and has an island view, so travellers who want the extra space and something to look at will prefer it.
Both room types can be set up as twins, which suits colleagues or friends travelling together as well as couples.
| Room type | Size | Beds | Sleeps | View |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Double or Twin Room | 17 m² | 1 queen bed or 2 twin beds | up to 3 | – |
| Superior Double or Twin Room | 20 m² | 1 queen bed or 2 twin beds | – | island view |
Paid airport shuttle, disabled facilities, family rooms
For getting around, the paid airport shuttle covers the roughly 30 km to Sabiha Gökçen. Facilities for disabled guests are provided, and there are family rooms. Parking is available and paid.
Check-in, check-out and house rules
Check-in is from 14:00 and check-out until 12:00, a schedule that suits a morning arrival after a long flight less well, but the hotel's express check-in and check-out and its 24-hour front desk smooth the practical side of arriving and leaving.
Children are allowed at the hotel, and pets are not. Parking is paid, so anyone driving into Sultanahmet should expect that cost on top of the room.
Who the Avicenna suits and who it does not suit
It suits a traveller less well if the priority is a large room: the largest room type is 20 m², and there is no suite. Pet owners cannot bring their animal. Anyone arriving by car should factor in paid parking, and anyone flying into Sabiha Gökçen should plan for about 30.1 km of transfer, with the hotel's paid shuttle as one option.
