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.

Where it is, and how far the landmarks are
La Mer Old City Hotel sits in the Fatih district of Istanbul, on Arapzade Ahmet Sk. in the Şehsuvar Bey area. Its position puts several major landmarks within a short radius: Little Hagia Sophia and the Sokollu Mehmed Pasha I Mosque are each about 0.5 km away in a straight line, the Sultan Ahmed Mosque about 0.9 km, and Hagia Sophia about 1.2 km.
Further out but still close, Süleymaniye Mosque is about 1.3 km away, Sirkeci railway station about 1.5 km, and Topkapı Palace about 1.8 km, all in a straight line. Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport is about 31.1 km from the hotel.
From a 15 m² single to a 20 m² basement triple
The hotel has three room types, and the differences between them are size, bed and level. The Standard Single Room is 15 m² with one twin bed and sleeps one, which suits a traveller on their own. The Standard Double Room is also 15 m² but has a queen bed and sleeps up to three, so a couple, or a couple with a small child, can share it.
The Budget Triple Room - Basement is the largest at 20 m², with one queen bed and one twin bed.
| Room type | Size | Beds | Sleeps |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Double Room | 15 m² | 1 queen bed | up to 3 |
| Budget Triple Room - Basement | 20 m² | 1 twin bed, 1 queen bed | – |
| Standard Single Room | 15 m² | 1 twin bed | up to 1 |
Restaurant, bar, room service, business center and tour desk
The hotel has a restaurant and a bar, plus room service, so eating in is possible without leaving the building. A business center and meeting rooms make it workable for a business trip, and there is a tour desk and a concierge service for arranging outings. The hotel also offers car hire and a minimarket on site.
For families, children are allowed and the hotel's facilities include a kid-friendly buffet. The practical trade-offs are the small room sizes: none of the three room types exceeds 20 m².
Check-in, check-out and the rules
Check-in is from 14:00 and check-out until 12:00. Children are allowed at the hotel. Pets are not allowed, so leave animals at home. Parking is available but paid, and the airport shuttle is also paid; if you are arriving by car or from the airport, budget for both.
Who it suits, and who it should not choose
This hotel suits a solo traveller or a couple whose priority is being close to the landmarks of Fatih, with Little Hagia Sophia about 0.5 km away in a straight line and the Sultan Ahmed Mosque about 0.9 km. The Standard Single and Standard Double rooms cover those two traveller types well, and the restaurant, bar and room service mean you do not need to go out after a day of sightseeing.
