Hotel Sari Konak

This is a good budget hotel very close to the Hagia Sofia and Blue Mosque. Cute rooftop terrace with water views. Only negative for this star rating is that the bed was so hard that my sides and back hurt and was hard to sleep. I toughed it out since it was a good price and good location. Liked that it was close to the tram and bus stop.I used the #20 bus for the airport, that was convenient and cheap. The bus stop is located in the square next to Blue Mosque.

Thie Sari Konkani is a wonderful hotel. The staff really add to the hotel’s charm; they are all wonderful. Very comfortable rooms. Likely the best shower that I have ever experienced while traveling. Traveling with our daughter, we stayed in 502 ... actually a first floor room just off the reception area. Very spacious and comfortable. A small TV with some English language channels. (iIt has an HDMI port to use as a monitor for your laptop.) Breakfast is served on the rooftop terrace. The terrace primarily faces the Bosporus but look to your rear and you can see the Blue Mosque clearly and the top of Aya Sofia. The breakfast is satisfying. Typically an egg dish yogurts, cereals, and fruit. The neighborhood surrounding the hotel is perfect. The Sultanahmet is the location of most of Istanbul’s tourist sites. And, there are many dining options in the immediate neighborhood. We’ll certainly stay at the Sari Konak n our next visit to Istanbul.

It was an OK hotel. Very small, with bad breakfast, but it was cleans.

Scammers. We booked a room for 2, emailed the hotel a few weeks before asking if they could add a cot for a 3 person, they said no. They said we have to pay a lot more and change to a 3 person room. We paid. They did not change us to a 3 person room, but just added a cot to the original room ... in the basement! Never again. Do not stay here.

We only stayed here one night but this place is cozy and sweet...tat night when we bought cup nooddles and requested for hot water the guy just took the cup noodel and later brought it to our room with boiling water added and even gave spoon and fork..... Bfast lady was soo humble and served coffee... Alot of food for bfast even u go late...anyway... I have forgoten my powerbank and charger.... But the guy mailed me but we allready reached the airport... Any of you going here.. Pls use the charger if u want....
