The expectations for somebody who reads "Palace" in the title of a hotel normally are big. Minimum expects a big and imposing building. In our case the whole title "Bucoleon Palace" refers to a Greek Palace built on the coast of Marmara sea in Constantinople by Theodosius the Second in the 5th century (construction completed three centuries later). Once the... More

On arrival at the hotel the receptionist seemed unsure that we even had a reservation. Once I produced my print out he took another 10 minutes of tapping on his computer before he confirmed that we did indeed have a reservation. No apology given! Not the best of welcomes. We had been so excited to arrive at the hotel and... More

Great service, the entire staff willing to go the extra mile, helping however much they can. The location was excellent, and in my opinion the only hotel to stay in to experience the atmosphere of Istanbul, more specifically the historical Sultanahmet area. Definitely planning on returning soon with friends. I strongly recommend this beautiful hotel to anyone planning to visit... More

the place is very stratergic,within walking distance to almost all sultanahmet historical site. we got quite a small room,but with only ?43 pernight, it worth everything. 24hour reception and 10mins walk from sultnahamnet tram.quite hilly walking if u have to carry baggage.

The location is great, about a 10 min (max) walk to the Blue Mosque, there are a number of nice restaurants in the area. The rooms are clean, look nice, bathroom is good too. The only negative for me was a very poor breakfast. Taxi to Ataturk airport will set you back about $20.
