I stayed in Hotel Pamphylia during my visit to Istanbul in November 2011. The best thing about the hotel was its location. Walking distance to some historical monuments like Topkapi Palace, Hagia Sophia, Sultan Ahmet Mosque. Very very convenient for taking city tour bus, trams and ferry etc. Good choice of foods nearby. The hotel was clean, staffs were very... More

Being my first trip to Istanbul, I booked the first two nights at Hotel Pamphylia in advance, based on internet information (I'm a fairly experienced traveler). I was dissaponted. The bed was hard and blankets were not very good. The shower was also very small, about one foot space against the wall. I left after the second night and found... More

Well, all I can say is beware. My wife and I booked here for three nights on the recommendation of a friend, but things certainly appear to have changed in the meantime.

The best thing about this hotel is the terrace. The rooftop terrace overlooks the Topkapi Palace musuem and there is a magnificent view of the Hagia Sophia in... More

This hotel is located in the heart of the Old District of Istanbul, in the Sultanahmet area. Its location is excellent! The staff at the hotel is very courteous and helpful. They speak either some or quite a bit of English, depending on who's on-shift. The front desk staff helped us by looking up conversion rates, checking our flight status,... More

This hotel is situated in a superb location, close enough to walk into Sultanahmet . Hotel inside is beautifull, clean and spotless. Our room was lovely, and the bed was really comfortable. Nothing negative to say about this hotel, will definetely be returning. More

The location is great. The staff are nice enough and do their best. The problem is with the owner and lack of upkeep. Everything else sucks. Dirty. Old. Broken furniture. Tiny beds. Tiny rooms. Noisy. No internet in rooms (contrary to their ad). The telephone cables weren't even there -- the 'phone' is just for show. Etc., etc., etc. Avoid... More
