Sokullu Pasa Hotel - Special Class

Very nice staff and service

免費升了套房 服務很周到 住得很舒服

Very well situated. Walking almost everywhere. Comfortable beds and good breakfast. People working there very nice and helpful. A bit noisy as our room has views to the street. A good price comparing with other hotels. I will repeat I'd I ever go again to Istanbul

The hotel is not a 5* venue, but is friendly, clean and gives a truly authentic Turkish vibe. I'm sure that in its price bracket you wont find better. We loved it. We had a superior double room with a fantastic balcony with views over the Sea of Marmara. The staff are wonderful, so friendly and helpful. Excellent breakfast sets you up for the day. A really short walk (uphill) to the hippodrome where you will find the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia. Also the tram line to explore the rest of Istanbul. We would thoroughly recommend and would definitely return!

We stayed together with friends for a few days. The location is great, in walking distance off the famous Sultanahmet square, the Ayasofia and lot more.. The room is very clean with comfortable bed . The breakfast is various and fresh. Mehmet at the reception is very kind and polite , we had such fun with him.Also a compliment for Fatih at the restaurant. We sure recommend everyone to stay at this lovely hotel. Thanks for everything. See you next time!❤️

Convenient to so many shopping and dining possibilities. Just a block or two from the historic Hippodrome of Constantinople AND the 'small' Hagia Sophia mosque. Very friendly and accomodating staff; always handled questions and requests promptly and courteously. Three minor issues: 1.) We could not turn off either the heated towel rack in the bathroom nor the floor heat in the entranceway. 2.) No washcloths/facecloths provided (could not find any in local shops, so maybe they don't exist in Turkey?). 3.) Water bottles sometimes replaced by housekeeping, sometimes not. Same with Shower Gel empty containers. Still... we would absolutely stay here again without hesitation. High value for money.

Our first time in Istanbul, so we chose a BA holiday, and hence this hotel. What a pleasure, both to be in such a great location and to find such a gem nestled in the heart of it. The hotel is small, like most other independent hotels in the Ancient district, but that allows for friendly, more personal customer service. Our en-suite room was basic but very clean and comfortable (which is all we need when we're out exploring all the time!). The buffet breakfast offered a mix of Turkish and Mediterranean foods, with fabulous coffee (of course)! No dinner is available, but it sits right next door to an excellent and affordable restaurant, Garden 1897. The hotel's split-level garden was a great place to 'take tea' in the afternoons, Turkish style, and offered a quiet space amidst the hustle and bustle on the streets. As for location, it really was a great choice. Just a few minutes walk will take you to places such as the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, the Topkapi Palace and (our favourite place) Basilica Cistern. A 15-20 minutes walk will get you to the Spice Bazaar and the Grand Bazaar, and to the river for the ferries. Cannot say enough about the staff. Virtually all had excellent English, and were able to offer as much advice as we needed; plus, booking things for us such as an evening dinner cruise on the Bosphorous. The clincher, however, had to be the surprise of the British themed leather sofa, what can I say ? ;-)

This hotel is 6-7 mins uphill walk from the Aya Sofia / Blue Mosque and 15 uphill mins from the Grand Bazaar. There are a number of restaurants near by which makes it an ideal location for seeing some of the main attractions. Check out the Istanbul Anatolian Cuisine restaurant for their claypot beef or chicken. it was wonderful The staff are friendly and helpful. One of the managers, Firat was very helpful and friendly and we had several conversations. The breakfast bar, was unspectacular, except for the Scrambled Eggs which were spectacularly good - just like my mother used to make. Rooms were nice. all of the beds in all of the hotels except one were a bit firm for my personal liking but I solved that by removing the doona from its cover and sleep on top of the Doona using its cover as a top sheet. If you are bothered by noise when trying to sleep avoid rooms 102 and 106

This was a BA organised five-night break. We also arranged a Bosphorus and cable car activity plus return taxi transfer through BA - both were as described. Collection was on time by air-conditioned coach, after a few pick ups on route we were taken directly to the boat. The guide arranged for us to board in advance of other passengers giving us first choice of seats. It was a good taxi service. We stayed in the Bosphorus Suite - which is spacious and well-furnished with a view of the Bosphorus from the balcony. The suite has a large comfortable bed, his-and-her wardrobes and decorated in authentic style. Excellent bathroom facilities with bath and separate rain shower, fluffy towels, a wicker basket containing an ample supply of toiletries and bath robes. The room was always spotlessly clean thanks to the diligent cleaners. I very much enjoyed the traditional Turkish breakfast - a variety of salads, cheeses, bread selection, meat, juices and fruit which suited me but not my husband. No problem - every morning he was served with a delicious four-egg omelette freshly made by the excellent chef. The courteous and friendly waiters, after the first morning, anticipated our requirements. As soon as we arrived at our table coffee was served immediately, no asking and no waiting. There is also a garden with comfy furniture/tables and chairs and superb lighting in the evening/night. There is no bar, however, glasses, ice and lemon slices are gladly provided if you wish to buy your own G&T or whatever! The hotel is conveniently located in the old City and the tram connection is a short uphill walk which was not really convenient for my husband who has heart failure but he managed by taking it slowly with pauses. The hotel lent us a travel card which we loaded at the tram stop - with a little help from a local. Reception staff were welcoming, chatty and helpful. On arrival and departure our luggage was dealt with by the staff for which we were grateful. Owing to mobility restrictions we did not venture far to eat and ate every evening at Yakut Restaurant & Bistro where the service was excellent and the food delicious. I can recommend the shrimp casserole, lamb casserole, lamb shank and the burger - if you want more chips - just ask. We thank Sokkulu Pasa for a most pleasurable stay which was such fun as was the memorable City of Istanbul.
