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 Sunlife Oldcity sits, and how far things are
Sunlife Oldcity is a hotel at Alemdar Mah Molla Fenari Sok. No:9, Cagloglu, Istanbul. Its position puts it close to the city's major landmarks: the Basilica Cistern is about 0.3 km away in a straight line, Hagia Sophia about 0.4 km, and the Sultan Ahmed Mosque and Hagia Irene each about 0.5 km. Topkapı Palace is about 0.8 km and the Süleymaniye Mosque about 1.2 km.
For travel connections, Sirkeci railway station is about 0.6 km away, in a straight line. Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) is about 30.7 km from the hotel, and the hotel offers a paid airport shuttle.
From a 9 m² single to a 20 m² suite with a sea view
The rooms divide into two kinds. The Economy Single Room is the smallest and the only one for one person: 9 m², one twin bed, sleeping up to 1. It suits a solo traveller who plans to spend the day out rather than in the room.
The Budget Double Room and the Small Double Room are near-identical in layout: each has one double bed and two twin beds, sleeps up to 3, and measures 11 m² and 10 m² respectively. The Small Double Room looks onto the street.
None of the rooms is large; a couple travelling light will manage in the doubles, while a family of three sharing one room should look at the Junior Suite with Terrace first, since it gives the most space and the only separate outdoor area.
| Room type | Size | Beds | Sleeps | View |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Economy Single Room | 9 m² | 1 twin bed | up to 1 | – |
| Junior Suite with Terrace | 20 m² | 1 queen bed | up to 3 | sea view |
| Budget Double Room | 11 m² | 2 twin beds, 1 double bed | up to 3 | – |
| Small Double Room | 10 m² | 2 twin beds, 1 double bed | up to 3 | street view |
What is on site, and for whom
The hotel has family rooms, which together with the three-person capacity of the double rooms and the suite makes it workable for a small family. There is a lift, which matters in a property where rooms sit above the ground floor. Live music is offered, an unusual feature for a hotel of this size and something to weigh if you want quiet evenings in.
The front desk runs around the clock, and the hotel handles check-in and check-out quickly for those arriving or leaving at awkward hours.
Check-in, check-out and the house rules
Check-in is from 14:00 and check-out until 12:00. Children are allowed. Pets are not allowed. The hotel's facilities do not include parking, so anyone arriving by car will need to arrange a space elsewhere.
Who it suits, and who it should not choose it
The Economy Single at 9 m² and the doubles at 10 and 11 m² are compact; the Junior Suite with Terrace at 20 m² is the one room with real space, a terrace and a sea view.
It does not suit travellers with pets, since they are not allowed, or anyone who needs on-site parking, which the hotel does not have. Groups larger than three per room will not fit: no room in the hotel sleeps more than 3.
