Hamit Hotel Istanbul - Special Category, a Fatih hotel

The hotel stands in Fatih, Istanbul, at Kemalpasa Mah. Gencturk Cad. No:47, postcode 34134. Its position puts several of the city's major mosques within a short radius: Laleli Mosque is about 0.3 km away in a straight line, Süleymaniye Mosque about 0.8 km, and Fatih Istanbul Mosque about 1 km.

Further out, Sultan Ahmed Mosque is about 1.9 km away in a straight line, Hagia Sophia about 2.1 km, and Topkapı Palace about 2.4 km. Sirkeci railway station is about 1.7 km. Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) is about 32.3 km away, in a straight line, and the hotel offers an airport shuttle at a charge.

Five room types make up the hotel, all with a city view. At the small end sit the Standard Single Room and the Standard Double Room, each 16 m². The single has one twin bed and sleeps up to 2; the double combines one queen bed with two twin beds, which makes it a practical choice for a family sharing one room despite its compact size.

The middle of the range is formed by the Deluxe Double Room and the Deluxe Triple Room, each 22 m². The deluxe double pairs a queen bed with a twin bed and suits a couple wanting more space than the standard rooms give. The deluxe triple, with four twin beds and one queen bed, is the room to take if you are three or more adults travelling together and want beds rather than sofa beds.

The largest room is the Comfort Quadruple Room at 24 m², with one twin bed, one double bed and one sofa bed, and a city view. It is the one to pick for a family of four who want separate sleeping spots and the most floor space the hotel offers. Family rooms are among the hotel's facilities, and children are allowed.

The hotel has a restaurant and room service, so you can eat in the building or in your room without going out. An airport shuttle runs at a charge, and there is a lift, which matters in a property where you may be assigned an upper floor. A 24-hour front desk is among the hotel's facilities, along with air conditioning, heating and free WiFi in the building.

For practical needs beyond these, the hotel's facilities include laundry and dry cleaning services, a tour desk, currency exchange and car hire.

Check-in is from 14:00 and check-out is until 12:00. Children are allowed at the hotel, and pets are not. The property is non-smoking throughout, with non-smoking rooms available.

Express and contactless check-in and check-out are among the hotel's facilities for a faster arrival and departure.

Families fit well: children are allowed, family rooms are offered, and the Comfort Quadruple Room and the Standard Double Room both give a family beds in one room.

It also works for small groups of adults, since the Deluxe Triple Room's four twin beds and one queen bed handle three or more people without sofa beds, and solo travellers can take the 16 m² Standard Single Room. It does not suit anyone travelling with a pet, as pets are not allowed.
