Hotel was in a really good location for seeing the main sights of Istanbul, nothing fancy but just right for our needs, our room was comfortable and a nice size for our 3 night break. Good towels and crisp bed linen. 3 mins walk from the tram stop and a few mins from the Blue Mosque, Cisterns, Palace etc. The... More

Central location but nice and quiet place close Hagia Sophia. Friendly and helpful staff. Comfortable and clean rooms. Very good breakfast on the terrace with nice view over Bosphorus, Sultan Ahmed Mosque and Hagia Spohia. Many good restaurants in the area. More

The breakfast was OK, a typical hotel breakfast. In the hotel lobby tea was served between 3-5pm. The hotel was small hotel and we had... More

I wanted a small hotel in a good location, close to attractions, and naturally, at a reasonable price. The Hippodrome had everything I wanted. I chose a less expensive room, without much of a view, because I was never in my room, and there is an awesome view from the restaurant at the Obelisk where enormous breakfasts are served. As...

Amazing location! 5min walk to Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. Very friendly and helpful staff. Room on small side with limited storage and somewhat eccentric plumbing. Very clean indeed and would be happy to come back. Breakfast was just across the street on rooftop terrace (fantastic view of Bosphorus) and very pleasant. More

We stayed at the Hippodrome for a week in November, 2011. The location is perfectly situated in the historic area and close to the major sites. We didn't stay in the main hotel, but had 3 rooms across the street at the Apt. The rooms were just fine, although the wifi was down the last 2 days. The staff at... More

My husband and I stayed at the Hippodrome Hotel for 2 nights prior to a cruise. We were in the room shown on the TripAdvisor page - very spacious, quiet, comfortable, and clean, with a modern bathroom and windows that overlooked the street scene below. The staff was extremely helpful and dedicated to making our visit easy and memorable. The... More
