This is a great hotel for first time visitors to Istanbul - it is easily accesible from the airport (using the train and metro service), though it was very hard to find initially (we had to rely on locals to direct us). It is close to all the touristy areas in Sultanamhet, and equally accessible to Beyoglu (which is across... more

We found the hotel by accident. Friends we traveled with had booked in a nearby hotel that had no more rooms. The hotel experience was overall very positive. By not booking ahead of time we got a better rate (55 Euros per night). The street was very quiet and access to all sights was very easy either by walking or... more

Probably the worst hotel in Istanbul! Terrible location, bad service, overpriced for what you get, small rooms, no electricity/water at times. Do I need to go on? Yes, I can - the list is endless - WC not working, breakfast not tasty, hotel employees rude/ignorant, they enter into rooms without permisson trying to steal... more

Istanbul was the last leg of a 2 week trip and we stayed here our last five nights. We booked our room with travel agent but you can... more

The Sur is located at a bend of the Bosphorus giving you incredible views up and down the Bosphorus. The fresh seafood at the restaurants around... more

My wife and I stayed at the Sur hotel from June 30 to the 2 nd July after a two week cruise in the Greek Isles. From the moment you arrive, you are greeted by friendly receptionist and an abundance of smiles. Firstly, let it be said, that service, comfort and quality were all exceptional. I booked directly with the... more

Me and a close friend of mine stayed at Sur Hotel for seven nights from June 16. Sur Hotel was an excellent choice in the Sultanahmet (Old City) area of Istanbul.The Hotel is centrally located near to most of the Historical Places. The breakfast was great in their roof-top. The rooftop(breakfast room) offers panoramic views. It was most enjoyable place,... more

This is one of the best resorts to visit. We have just returned from a 5 night, weekend stay at this hotel and can only agree with all the other great reviews about this property. If you're looking for a central, clean, quiet and affordable hotel in Istanbul then you need look no further than the Sur Hotel. The hotel... more
