Sultanahmet Apartment: a 50 m² one-bedroom flat in Istanbul

Sultanahmet Apartment is an apartment building at Pertev Paşa Sokak No:43, postcode 34126, in Istanbul. The closest landmark is the Sokollu Mehmed Pasha I Mosque, about 0.2 km away in a straight line. Little Hagia Sophia is about 0.4 km, the Sultan Ahmed Mosque about 0.6 km and Hagia Sophia about 0.9 km.

Further out, Sirkeci railway station is about 1.1 km away, Süleymaniye Mosque about 1.2 km and Topkapı Palace about 1.4 km, all in a straight line. Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) is about 30.9 km away, in a straight line.

The hotel has a single room type, the One-Bedroom Apartment, at 50 m². It has one queen bed and two sofa beds, so a couple can use the queen bed alone while the sofa beds add sleeping space for children or additional travellers, and children are allowed.

Because there is only this one type, every booking gets the same size and the same bed arrangement. A couple gets a separate bedroom plus the sofa-bed space; a family fits without anyone sharing the queen bed. A group needing more beds or a second, differently sized apartment will not find one here, and a traveller who wants a choice of room categories will not find that either.

This is an apartment building rather than a conventional hotel property. It has free WiFi and air conditioning, and it is non-smoking throughout.

With one apartment type and a small set of facilities, the stay is a simple one: the 50 m² of space, the beds described above, and those three provisions. Nothing else is offered, and a traveller comparing this against a full-service hotel should weigh that difference.

Check-in is from 14:00 and check-out is until 12:00. Children are allowed. Pets are not allowed.

The non-smoking rule applies throughout the property, so there is no smoking area within it; a smoker would need to go outside the building.

The apartment suits travellers who want space and a separate bedroom rather than a single hotel room, and it suits families, since children are allowed and the two sofa beds sit alongside the queen bed. It does not suit pet owners, as pets are not allowed, and it does not suit anyone who needs more than one apartment or a choice of room types.

• A couple: the queen bed and 50 m² of space, with the sofa beds unused.
• A family with children: children are allowed, and the two sofa beds give them their own sleeping places.
• Not pet owners: pets are not allowed.
• Not anyone wanting varied room categories: there is one room type only.
