Lovely hotel right at the Sultanahmet square

I love this hotel. The staff are so helpful and friendly. I got a complimentary cup of Turkish coffee or tea every day. They go above and beyond to fulfill guest requests. They have a lovely little restaurant in the lobby with an amazing view of the Sultanahmet mosque where they serve breakfast and have lunch and dinner available for order. Location is absolutely phenomenal. The Sultanahmet square with all its museums, palaces, mosques, shops, restaurants and public transportation are right outside the front door of the hotel. But the hotel itself is a quiet little oasis to return to after a day of sightseeing. I have stayed here many times and will return again and again. Only one point off for the strong mold smell in the bathroom.

It was a great experience from the beginning. Friendly staff that always smiled and ask if they could help. Set up transportation to the airport. Located within walking distances of multiple historical sites and restaurants all around the hotel. Would highly recommend staying here if you in Istanbul.

Everything I hoped it would be and then some !

Location Location Location . Spectra Hotel is literally a few meters from Sultan Ahmet Square and just a 5 minute walk to Hagia Sofia and the Blue Mosque! You can walk to the Grand Bazaar in 10 minutes , there are plenty of shops, Restaurants and Cafes to see along the way. Hasan. Ercel and Metin took care of all of our needs whether it was to arrange tours, give practical advice while sightseeing and just went above and beyond to help out anyway they could. It is a beautiful boutique style hotel that was surprisingly quiet given that they are so close to the main square and at the end of a bustling street . The Restaurant was awesome as well with a great staff and variety of things to choose from at very reasonable prices. No complaints with the cleanliness of the rooms and housekeeping was available everyday.it certainly has a great atmosphere and just a lot of value for the money. Everybody goes out of their way and there is nothing that compares to Turkish hospitality, We hated to leave Lol
