The Hotel Valide Sultan Konagi is a terrific hotel. The staff is very friendly. The location is terrific. Great views of the city from the hotel rooftop terrace. more

its a good hotel, location is great, walking distance to most attractions.but there are some scams going on. They were unclear about the free transfers, actually the transfer is one way and then they charge you 60YTL for return transfer and ask for cash at the last minute so you dont have time to organise anything independently. secondly watch out... more

We stayed in the Hotel Valide Sultan for three nights. We found a discount rate for this hotel through Orbitz and contacted them directly. They matched the rate (85 Euros).

Unfortunately our room was overbooked so they took us to another hotel for a night. They were very kind and the substitute room was very nice (even if the other hotel wasn't), but still we were not that comfortable moving around. for the rest the hotel is very nice, with a great breakfast room with a good view of the... more

We have just returned from 2 weeks in Turkey. Staying 2 nights at the end of trip at this hotel. The hotel's location was excellent. Easy walking distance from restaurants, Blue Mosque and opposite Hagia Sophia. Fantasic views from the top floor restaurant of the Bosphorous. Breakfast was limited compared to other hotels we stayed in. The down side was... more

We stayed here in April and June 2007. Very convenient location to all major tourist attractions in Old City. Staff very helpful and friendly. Rooms comfortable. Regrettably a power failure in June caused some inconvenience but hopefully this situation has now been rectified. Rates reasonable with breakfast included. We would stay here again in the future. more
