Everything you would expect from a hotel: friendly staff, excellent selection of food for breakfast, clean and nicely presented rooms, centrally located, good facilities. The website doesn't do the hotel credit (I've already mentioned) this. We were presented with turkish delight and a drink on arrival, plus gifts on our departure. more

The staff was friendly, helpful, and attentive. Any requests were handled immediately and efficiently.. The hotel is in a GREAT central location with all the major sites within an easy walking distance. It is also just a block away from the tram and very close to the Galata Bridge. It is on a pedestrian walkway with many restaurants right outside... more

The hotel is centrally situated in the Old City and near the main tourist attractions. There is also an efficient regular tramline nearby. Restaurants abound in the vicinity so be prepared to be hassled for business by the managers as you run the gauntlet to and from the hotel. The rooms are fairly small but represent excellent value for the... more

It was good value, the breakfast buffet was extensive and fairly good. The rooms with tea making kit were excellent. Bathrooms worked. Going out alone at night to eat was not a problem as several restaurants were in the pedestrian road outside the hotel more

We enjoyed a two-night stay at the Sapphire, following a two-week Insight tour of Turkey. We were cautioned ahead by Sapphire management that this was not the Hilton and that the rooms were considerably smaller. (We actually moved from the Conrad to experience the historic district for our final nights in IST. We knew that we were booking a tourist/boutique... more

What a wonderful city Istanbul. This hotel is perfect for a city break. Staff are most helpful & accommodating, sorted out airport pick-ups for us. Hotel street is pedestrionised & tram stop just a street away. Within walking distance to most sights, pool & sauna included. Would not hesitate to use this hotel again. Thank you to all the staff... more
