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 it is, and how far the landmarks are

Hagia Irene Old City is a hotel in the Fatih district of Istanbul, postcode 34126. Its position puts several of the city's major monuments within a short straight-line radius: Little Hagia Sophia and the Sokollu Mehmed Pasha I Mosque are each about 0.3 km away, the Sultan Ahmed Mosque about 0.7 km, Hagia Sophia about 1.1 km, the Süleymaniye Mosque about 1.5 km and Topkapı Palace about 1.6 km.

For arrivals and departures by train, Sirkeci railway station is about 1.4 km away, in a straight line. Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) is about 30.9 km from the hotel.

From a 10 m² double to a 12 m² double with balcony

The hotel has four room types, all compact. The Standard Double Room and the Standard Twin Room are each 10 m²: the double has one double bed, the twin two twin beds, and both sleep up to 3. The Budget Single Room has one single bed and sleeps up to 1.

Two friends sharing will want the Standard Twin, since it is the only room with two separate beds. A solo traveller keeping costs down has the Budget Single. A third guest fits in the doubles and the twin, though at 10 to 12 m² the rooms are tight at that occupancy.

Paid airport shuttle and paid parking

The hotel offers a paid airport shuttle, which matters for a 30.9 km straight-line distance to Sabiha Gökçen. Parking at the hotel is paid, and accessible parking is among the parking options.

Check-in, check-out and house rules

Check-in runs from 14:00, with a latest check-in time of 23:30; check-out is until 11:30. If you arrive on a late evening flight, the 23:30 cut-off is worth noting.

Children are allowed at the hotel. Pets are not allowed.

Who it suits, and who it should give pause

This hotel suits a traveller whose priority is position: someone who wants to be within about a kilometre, in a straight line, of the Sultan Ahmed Mosque, Hagia Sophia and the Süleymaniye Mosque, and who plans to spend the day out rather than in the room. Solo travellers, couples and groups of two or three sharing compact rooms are the natural fit, and the Budget Single works for one person travelling lightly.

It is not a hotel for anyone who wants space to spread out. Every room is between 10 and 12 m², so a party of three in any room will be close quarters. Guests who cannot or do not wish to use the paid parking, or who are bringing a pet, should also look elsewhere.
