Imagine Istanbul - Sultanahmet is a hotel on Pertev Paşa Sokak. The Sokollu Mehmed Pasha I Mosque is about 0.2 km away, Little Hagia Sophia about 0.4 km, the Sultan Ahmed Mosque about 0.6 km and Hagia Sophia about 0.9 km, all in a straight line. Süleymaniye Mosque lies about 1.3 km away, Sirkeci railway station about 1.2 km and Topkapı Palace about 1.5 km.

Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) is about 30.9 km away and Istanbul Airport (IST) about 34.2 km, in a straight line. The hotel runs an airport shuttle for a fee.

The Standard Double or Twin Room on the basement floor of the annex building has a street view; its ground-floor counterpart has a city view. Both are 20 m², offer a queen bed or two twin beds, and sleep up to 3. The Standard Triple rooms pair a queen bed with a twin bed: 20 m² with a street view in the annex basement, or 25 m² with a city view on the ground floor.

For couples, the 22 m² Deluxe Double Room has a super-king bed, a city view, a Turkish hammam sink and sleeps up to 3. The 35 m² Honeymoon Suite goes further, with its own Turkish hammam, a bathtub and a balcony, a super-king bed, a city view, and it also sleeps up to 3. The 27 m² Junior Suite combines a super-king bed with a sofa bed and sleeps up to 3.

The largest room is the 50 m² Deluxe Adjoining Family Suite: two bathrooms, each with a Turkish hammam sink, a queen bed, two twin beds and a sofa bed, with a city view. The 38 m² Deluxe Family & Connected Suite in the annex building has a super-king bed and two twin beds and a garden view. The 30 m² Luxury Deluxe Room with Balcony pairs a super-king bed with two sofa beds and also has a garden view, while the 27 m² Deluxe Twin Room offers two twin beds and a sofa bed.

The hotel offers family rooms and a lift. An airport shuttle runs for a fee. Parking at the hotel is paid, so anyone arriving by car should factor that in.

Children are allowed, and the family rooms, the adjoining suite with its two bathrooms and the connected suites in the annex building are laid out for more than two people sharing.

• Check-in is from 14:00; check-out is until 11:00.
• Children are allowed.
• Pets are not allowed.
• Parking is paid.

It suits couples, from the 20 m² standard rooms to the 35 m² Honeymoon Suite with its own hammam, bathtub and balcony, and families, who can choose between the 50 m² adjoining suite with two bathrooms, the 38 m² connected suite and the 30 m² luxury room with balcony. Several room types sleep up to 3, so small groups of three are also covered.

It does not suit travellers with pets, as they are not allowed. Anyone sensitive to room level should note that some standard rooms are on the basement floor of the annex building and have a street view rather than a city or garden view; ground-floor and other rooms are the alternative. Drivers should remember that parking is paid.
