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.
0.3 km from Hagia Sophia, the Sultan Ahmed Mosque and the Basilica Cistern
Nayla Palace Hotel-Special Category stands at Kutlugun Sok. No 12 in Sultanahmet, Istanbul. Its position is the main argument for staying here: Hagia Sophia, the Sultan Ahmed Mosque and the Basilica Cistern are each about 0.3 km away in a straight line, and Hagia Irene is about 0.4 km.
Topkapı Palace is about 0.9 km away in a straight line, Sirkeci railway station about 1 km, and the Süleymaniye Mosque about 1.8 km. Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) is about 30.1 km away; the hotel runs an airport shuttle for a fee, which matters for a transfer of that length.
From a 14 m² single to a 25 m² family room with a side sea view
The rooms fall into two groups. For one or two travellers there are the 14 m² Standard Single Room with one twin bed, and three 17 m² doubles: the Standard Double Room with one double bed, the Standard Double or Twin Room with two twin beds or one double bed, and its sea-view counterpart with the same bed choice. Each of the three doubles sleeps up to 3.
For families and small groups there are three larger rooms: the 23 m² Standard Triple Room with one double bed and four twin beds, the 24 m² Family Triple Room with one double bed and one twin bed and a sea view, and the 25 m² Family Room with Side Sea View with one double bed and one twin bed. Children are allowed, and the hotel offers family rooms, so the larger three room types are the ones that fit a family with children.
| Room type | Size | Beds | Sleeps | View |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Single Room | 14 m² | 1 twin bed | up to 1 | – |
| Family Room with Side Sea View | 25 m² | 1 twin bed, 1 double bed | – | sea view |
| Standard Double or Twin Room | 17 m² | 2 twin beds or 1 double bed | up to 3 | – |
| Family Triple Room | 24 m² | 1 double bed, 1 twin bed | – | sea view |
| Standard Double or Twin Room with Sea View | 17 m² | 2 twin beds or 1 double bed | up to 3 | sea view |
| Standard Double Room | 17 m² | 1 double bed | up to 3 | – |
| Standard Triple Room | 23 m² | 4 twin beds, 1 double bed | – | – |
A restaurant, a bar and room service
The hotel has a restaurant and a bar, and room service if you would rather eat in your room.
For arrivals and departures, the airport shuttle is paid, as is the parking. Beyond that, the hotel offers family rooms among its room types, which is the facility that matters most here; everything else on site is standard hotel provision.
Check-in, check-out and house rules
Check-in is from 14:00 and check-out until 12:00, a two-hour window that gives a full morning at the sites before leaving.
Children are allowed. Pets are not. Parking is paid, and the airport shuttle is paid as well.
Who it suits and who it does not
This hotel suits a traveller whose trip is built around the Sultanahmet monuments: with Hagia Sophia, the Sultan Ahmed Mosque and the Basilica Cistern each about 0.3 km away in a straight line, the location is the reason to choose it. Families fit: children are allowed and there are three family-sized rooms, two of them with a sea view.
It suits a solo traveller less well only in the sense that the single room is the smallest at 14 m²; it is still a workable choice. Travellers with pets will need another hotel. Anyone planning to drive should note that parking is paid, and anyone flying into Sabiha Gökçen should budget for the paid shuttle over about 30.1 km.
