Great Hotel to stay it if you are planning on seeing Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque and surrounding sites. Staff was very helpful and the room was spotless upon arrival. Would highly recommend if you are having a short stay. Due to the room size, I would not recommend staying for an extended duration but other than that it was excellent.

I had a wonderful stay. I want to give a special thanks to the bellman Acuman, who went out of his way to always make is feel comfortable and helped with bag ect. The one concerning thing is if you can do some stairs then ask the hotel of the main floor elevator is fixed. Over the week I was there, they kept saying it was getting fixed but it never got fixed. So you have to do one flight of stairs to get to lobby. Great location and as a result many of the surrounding streets are closed during day. Hotel is a golf cart that can help pick you up from down the hill when you arrive. They don’t tell you that but the service is there. Lots of stuff to do within walking distance such as the blue and Sophia mosque. Lots of food options (all Turkish). Overall, great stay

Great location, this hotel is within walking distance from Sultanahmet Square where Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque are located. The Big Bus departs from this square as well, as everything seems to start from this location. The staff and premises were fantastic, and there are restaurants everywhere around the hotel. It is a great hotel to stay at, especially if it is someone's first time in this Magnificent city of Istanbul.

A great place to stay. My 3rd time in Istanbul and i will definitley come back to Sura again. A beautiful courtyard makes this place rather special. Specious rooms, well equiped gym (although a proper spinning bike would have been a good addition), nice breakfast with a wide choice of food for any taste. But especially i would like to mention the service. It was impacable. Any request was dealt with promptly with politness and profesionalism and a big smile. What not to like.

The hotel is perfectly set within 5 minutes from Hagia Sophia, and the Blue Mosque. Plenty of restaurants around the property, as well as activities (e.g. Hop on/Hop off bus). It’s near Sultanahmet Square, about 10 minutes from the Grand Bazaar. The property itself is very cute and has a feeling of an art piece of some sort. Staff are helpful, friendly, eager to help. I would recommend this property.

My stay was going so well up until my last night when I booked a spa treatment for my mother. I trusted they would take care of my mother after her treatment getting her safely back into her room. Instead they left her on the lobby couch where I found her sleeping. The level of neglect they showed my mother after reassuring me they would get her safely into her room was disappointing. I wouldn’t recommend the Harmony Spa in this hotel. One incident ruin a great vacation.

Sura Hotel review

Sura hotel was amazing! The hotel was so homely & comfortable. It was so clean, modern, high quality hotel. The hotel management & staff were so friendly, lovely & helpful. They really looked after us, like we were family! The standout people at the hotel were: Hassan the manager was terrific, he sorted out minor issues for us with a click of his finger! Mohammed nadeer & uurgh were a great management team. Mohammed Ali Abbasi at the food service & bar was absolutely amazing! He & his colleagues Yasin & Barut really served us with a 5 star service at all times. Professional polite & extemely caring people. Yusuf at the reception was so helpful at all times, always smiling and welcoming with the most lovely greetings at all Times. He was very attentive & helpful. I highly recommend this hotel. The management team & staff really look after you. As a bonus, the hotel is located in the best possible place, near all the main attractions & transport links. Making your stay 10/10. Big shoutout to Hassan, Mohammed Nadeer, Urrgh, Abdul Kadar, Yasin, Barut & especially Yusuf & Mohammed Ali Abbasi who really made our stay absolutely amazing. We will definitely be visiting again thanks to the love, care & professionalism of the staff at the Sura Hotel!
