Sultanahmet Suites was the perfect location for me, my wife and 1yr old son. We wanted to experience the local culture yet be close enough to the countless touristy attractions that Istanbull had to offer. Jackpot! By the 3rd day of our 7 day vacation, we were firmiliar and friendly with all the local restaurant owners and shop operators. Deniz is the manager at Sultanahmet and he provided great suggestions from places to eat, shops and sights to see and even gave us an insight on traditional customs. He even took time to escort us to a great rug shop by the Bazaar and I found some great pieces to bring back home. The room we stayed in was a 1 bedroom w a small living room and built in kitchen. Just the perfect amount of space since our agenda was to be out and about-rarely sitting in. We didn’t plan to travel to sit inside an apartment! Our place was accross a small park and school-which at times when kids are out-got a little noisy. But this was very temporary. Maide service came daily to takeout the garbage and also change the linens. They were very respectful with our privacy and always came late mornings when they knew we were already out. We had an amazing experience in Istanbul. Certainly one of our most memorable vacation as a family. Lots of credit to Sultanahmet Suites, Deniz and the high level of hospitality his team provided. Eager to schedule a return trip and a second stay at Sultanahmet Suites!
