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 Ayasultan Hotel stands in the Sultanahmet district of Istanbul, on Çatalçeşme Sokak. The Basilica Cistern is about 0.3 km away in a straight line, Hagia Sophia and the Sultan Ahmed Mosque about 0.4 km each, and Hagia Irene about 0.5 km. Topkapı Palace is about 0.9 km and the Süleymaniye Mosque about 1.2 km.
For onward travel, Sirkeci railway station is about 0.7 km away. Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) is about 30.6 km from the hotel and Istanbul Airport (IST) about 34.1 km, both in a straight line. The hotel runs an airport shuttle for a fee.
From a 15 m² economy double to the 36 m² large family room
The six room types divide cleanly into two groups: doubles for one to three travellers, and family rooms with several beds. The Economy Double or Twin Room is the smallest at 15 m², with either one double bed or two twin beds, and sleeps up to 3. The Standard Double Room, at 17 m² with one double bed, also sleeps up to 3, so the choice between them comes down to bed preference and the few extra square metres.
The Triple Room, at 21 m², pairs one double bed with one twin bed. The Family Room has the same bed arrangement, two twins and one double, in 22 m², while the Junior Family Room offers that same combination in a roomier 30 m². The largest option is the Large Family Room: 36 m² with three twin beds and one queen bed, the clear choice for a bigger family or a group sharing.
| Room type | Size | Beds | Sleeps |

What the hotel offers on site
The hotel has a restaurant and room service, so meals do not depend on going out. Family rooms are part of the room range, and there are meeting and banquet rooms for anyone travelling for work. A lift serves the building, and the hotel provides facilities for disabled guests. An airport shuttle is available for a fee.
Check-in, children, pets and parking
Check-in is from 14:00 and check-out until 12:00. Children are allowed at the hotel, which fits with the family room range. Pets are not allowed. There is no parking at the hotel, so anyone arriving by car will need to arrange parking elsewhere.
Who it suits and who it should give pause
The hotel suits families and small groups who want several bed combinations at different sizes, from a 22 m² family room up to the 36 m² large family room, and couples or solo travellers who need no more than a double. Its position, within about half a kilometre in a straight line of the Basilica Cistern, Hagia Sophia and the Sultan Ahmed Mosque, places the main Sultanahmet sights at very short distances.
It suits a traveller without a car: with no parking at the hotel, driving guests must look elsewhere. It does not suit anyone bringing a pet. The economy and standard rooms are compact at 15 and 17 m², so those wanting space should move up to the triple or family rooms.
