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, with the landmarks and the airports

Emir Hotel is a hotel at Küçük Ayasofya Mahallesi Akburçak Sokak No:8, in the Sultanahmet part of Istanbul's Fatih district; the postcode is 34200. Little Hagia Sophia is about 0.1 km away in a straight line, the Sokollu Mehmed Pasha I Mosque about 0.2 km, and the Sultan Ahmed Mosque about 0.4 km. Hagia Sophia is about 0.8 km, Topkapı Palace about 1.4 km, and the Süleymaniye Mosque about 1.6 km, each measured in a straight line.

Sirkeci railway station, about 1.3 km away, is the nearest of the transport links. The airports are much farther: Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) about 30.5 km and Istanbul Airport (IST) about 34.6 km, in a straight line. For arrivals and departures by air, the hotel runs a paid airport shuttle.

Three rooms, from the 12 m² single to the 15 m² double

There are three room types, and the range of sizes is narrow: 12, 13 and 15 m². The Single Room is 12 m², has one double bed, sleeps up to one, and has a city view. The Budget Double Room is 13 m², has one double bed and sleeps up to two. The Double Room, the largest, is 15 m² with one queen bed and also sleeps up to two.

Every room type has exactly one bed, so two adults always share that bed; there is no twin arrangement anywhere in the hotel. A solo traveller takes the Single Room, where the double bed is theirs alone and the room carries a city view.

No room type sleeps more than two, and children are not allowed in any case, so none of the three is a family room. A group of three or more adults would need several rooms, and beyond size and bed there is little else separating the types.

Adults only, with free parking and a paid airport shuttle

Emir Hotel admits adults only: children are not allowed, and pets are not allowed. That rules the property out for families and for anyone travelling with an animal, and it fits the room list, where the largest room sleeps two and none is set up for more.

Check-in is from 13:00; check-out is until 11:00.
Parking at the hotel is free.
The airport shuttle is paid.

Who Emir Hotel suits, and who it does not

For a couple or a solo traveller who wants a small room in this part of Istanbul, free parking, and a shuttle for the airport run, Emir Hotel fits. For families, pet owners and groups wanting to share one room, it does not.

solo travellers, who have a room type of their own in the 12 m² Single Room, with a city view;
couples, choosing between the 13 m² Budget Double Room and the 15 m² Double Room;
adults arriving by car, since parking is free;
adults flying in or out, with the paid airport shuttle for the journey to SAW, about 30.5 km away, or IST, about 34.6 km.
families, because children are not allowed;
travellers with pets, because pets are not allowed;
anyone who wants more than 15 m² of space or more than one bed in a room;
groups of more than two sharing, since every room type sleeps at most two.
