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.
In Sultanahmet, 0.4 km from the Sultan Ahmed Mosque
Mina Hotel - Special Category stands on Dostluk Yurdu Street, off Pierre Loti Avenue, in Istanbul's Sultanahmet area. The Sokollu Mehmed Pasha I Mosque is about 0.3 km away in a straight line, the Sultan Ahmed Mosque about 0.4 km, the Basilica Cistern about 0.5 km and Hagia Sophia about 0.6 km. Topkapı Palace is about 1.2 km away and Süleymaniye Mosque about 1.3 km.
Sirkeci railway station is about 0.9 km in a straight line. Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport is about 30.7 km away; the hotel runs a paid airport shuttle for the transfer.
From a 17 m² Economy Room to the 55 m² King Suite
The Economy Room, at 17 m², is the smallest, with a queen bed and two twin beds and a city view; the Superior Room is slightly larger at 18 m², with a double bed and two twins, and the Superior Room with Sea View is the same 18 m² with two twin beds and the sea view its name gives.
The Deluxe Double Room, at 23 m² with a super-king bed and a city view, suits a couple who want more space than the standard rooms without paying for a suite. The three suites are a step up again: the Family Connecting Suite at 40 m², the Queen Suite with Sea View at 45 m² and the King Suite with Sea View at 55 m², each with a super-king bed.
The Family Connecting Suite sleeps up to 5, combining a super-king bed with three sofa beds, and it is the only option for a larger group who want to share one room. Its 40 m² is close to the Queen Suite's, so the choice between them comes down to whether a family needs the sofa beds or a couple prefers the sea view.
| Room type | Size | Beds | Sleeps | View |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Economy Room | 17 m² | 1 queen bed, 2 twin beds | up to 3 | city view |
| King Suite with Sea View | 55 m² | 1 super-king bed | up to 3 | sea view |
| Family Connecting Suite | 40 m² | 3 sofa beds, 1 super-king bed | up to 5 | – |
| Deluxe Double Room | 23 m² | 1 super-king bed | up to 3 | city view |
| Queen Suite with Sea View | 45 m² | 1 super-king bed | up to 3 | sea view |
| Superior Room | 18 m² | 2 twin beds, 1 double bed | up to 3 | – |
| Superior Room with Sea View | 18 m² | 2 twin beds | up to 3 | sea view |
Family rooms, children allowed and a paid airport shuttle
The hotel is set up for families: family rooms are part of its offer, children are allowed, and the Family Connecting Suite gives a family of up to five a single unit.
For arrivals and departures, the paid airport shuttle covers the roughly 30.7 km to Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport.
Children allowed, pets not allowed and no parking
Children are allowed throughout the hotel. Pets are not allowed, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
The hotel has no parking of its own. Anyone arriving by car will need to arrange parking independently, and given the Sultanahmet setting this is worth settling before you drive in.
Who it suits and who it does not
It suits travellers whose trip is built around the Sultanahmet landmarks: the Sultan Ahmed Mosque, the Basilica Cistern, Hagia Sophia and Topkapı Palace are all within about 1.2 km in a straight line. Families fit well, with children allowed, family rooms and a connecting suite that sleeps up to five, plus evening entertainment on site.
It does not suit pet owners, since pets are not allowed, or anyone who needs hotel parking, which the hotel does not have.
