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.
Where Rast Hotel Sultanahmet sits
The hotel stands in the Sultanahmet district of Istanbul, at Binbirdirek Mah. Klodferar Cad. No:4, postcode 34400. Its position puts several of the city's best-known landmarks within a short radius, measured in a straight line: the Turkish and Islamic Arts Museum is about 0.2 km away, the Sultan Ahmed Mosque and the Basilica Cistern each about 0.4 km, and Hagia Sophia about 0.6 km. Topkapı Palace is about 1 km and Süleymaniye Mosque about 1.2 km from the hotel.
For arrivals and departures by train, Sirkeci railway station is about 0.8 km away. Of the two airports, Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) is about 30.7 km from the hotel and Istanbul Airport (IST) about 34.1 km, both in a straight line. The hotel offers an airport shuttle for a fee, which spares travellers the transfer arrangements at either end.
From a 16 m² superior room to the 42 m² suites
The smallest room is the Superior Double or Twin Room with Balcony at 16 m², with either one double bed or two twin beds. It is the compact choice for one or two travellers who plan to spend their days out rather than in the room.
A middle band of rooms sits at 25 m²: the Deluxe Double Room with Balcony (one double bed), the Deluxe Triple Room with Balcony (three twin beds), the Deluxe Family Room with Balcony (one queen bed and one twin bed) and the Family Room, Balcony (one king bed and one twin bed). The twin-plus-queen and king-plus-twin combinations suit parents travelling with a child, and children are allowed at the hotel.
At the top are two 42 m² suites, each with one double bed and a city view: the Suite with Hot Tub, which sleeps up to 3, and the Exclusive Suite, Bathtub, which sleeps up to 3.

What is on site, and for whom
The hotel has a restaurant and room service, so meals are possible without leaving the building.
Family rooms are part of the room range rather than an afterthought, and the hotel's facilities include child-oriented touches such as kid meals and a kid-friendly buffet. Meeting and banquet rooms make it workable for small business gatherings or events.
Check-in, check-out and house rules
Check-in is from 14:00 and check-out until 12:00, an arrangement that suits sightseeing-heavy itineraries. Children are allowed. Pets are not.
Who it suits and who it does not
Families have several room types that fit them, from the 25 m² family rooms with a queen or king plus a twin to the 40 m² Deluxe Suite with Terrace, and children are welcome.
It suits less well travellers who want resort-style amenities such as a pool, or those bringing a pet, which the hotel does not allow. The 16 m² superior room is best avoided by anyone who values space; the 25 m² deluxe rooms and the suites are the better picks for longer stays. Drivers should note that parking carries a charge.
