Outstanding location to access main sites for a first time visitor to Istanbul. Surprisingly quiet at night and staff are exceptionally attentive (they help you right away!). We stayed in a deluxe double sea view room with balcony which was very large and had a separate doored seating area (which is nice if someone wants to stay up later). Beds comfortable (main bed would be what I call a double). Small balcony with view of rooftops and river. Bathroom clean and adequate (not spa like if that is your thing). Overall I think this hotel provides great value for your money, especially if you like a larger room to spread out a bit. I looked at many, many hotels and this one offered the best location and facilities for the price. Only minor complaint would be very limited closet space but not a deal breaker. Breakfast is fresh with lots of variety. Would stay here again without hesitation.

A Jewel in Sultanahmet: My Unforgettable Stay at Hotel Amira Istanbul From the moment I booked my stay at Hotel Amira, it was clear that this would be no ordinary experience. Sam, the mastermind behind reservations, reached out promptly to meticulously plan my activities and arrange my airport shuttle. His attention to detail was the perfect prelude to what awaited me in Istanbul. Upon arrival, I was warmly welcomed by the exceptional reception team, with Emri’s hospitality setting the tone for an unforgettable visit. It’s rare to find such genuine care and enthusiasm, and their kindness left an indelible mark. The culinary experience was equally remarkable. The restaurant team not only served some of the best dishes I’ve ever tasted but did so with a warmth and attentiveness that made every meal a delight. The food was so exceptional that I couldn’t resist indulging—a fact evidenced by the 5kg I happily gained during my stay! Every member of the Hotel Amira team went above and beyond, exceeding every expectation with their professionalism and heartfelt service. This wasn’t just a hotel stay—it was an experience of unparalleled hospitality. If you're looking for a place where every detail is crafted with care and every interaction feels personal, look no further than Hotel Amira Istanbul. I cannot recommend it highly enough and will certainly return very soon. Bravo, Hotel Amira!

We loved literally everything. The staff Osman, Mert, Rohat and other guys treated us as like princesses, always kind and welcoming, answered to all of our questions, even gave us Istanbulkart so we could use public transportation. The breakfast was great, the coffee excellent. Due to the season the rooftop bar/restaurant was closed but we could go to the terrace with our own tea cups and enjoy the beautiful view anytime. The room was great, bed was comfortable, cleaning every day. We will definitely stay there when be in Istanbul next time. Probably the best hotel experience!!! Thank you so much for everything!!

Location was just incredible! Right in the middle of the city centre. Close to many attractions. The hotel is well-managed and has amazing staff who were friendly and so so helpful. It is a quaint, charming corner hotel, conveniently placed! The inside of the hotel is picturesque. The rooms are spacious and clean!

I had mobility issues (currently in a moonboot) and the stair cases to the room I was allocated were a bit tough to walk up/down. There is a lift but I had to access room with by going up 2 sets of stairs. Just something to note for people with mobility issues (please inform the hotel if you have any such issues, dont be like me)

The hotel is just a walking distance to many major attractions and restaurants. The staffs are very helpful and courteous. Their breakfast is good and there’s a lady that cooks the gozleme right in front of you every morning. They have a luggage storage and can keep several luggage for you without extra charge while you go to other parts of Turkey. That was very convenient for us because we went to Cappadocia for a few days and didn’t want to bring our big luggage there with us. Then we went back to Istanbul to catch our next flight home. Highly recommended. We’re so happy to find this hotel.

Nothing. I like it very much.

Hotel Amira is in a great location surrounded by plenty of restaurants and bars and only a short walk to the Blue Mosque and all the attractions. The breakfast buffet was fabulous and you must try the Gozleme made to order by the lovely lady in an adjacent room. Our room was spacious with a good balcony with sea and street views. The roof top bar/restaurant does nice meals and is a great place to watch the sun go down in the evening sipping on a glass of Rose. The reception staff went above and beyond with recommendations and assistance - they were absolutely delightful.

Hotel Amira is an enchanting hotel in a magical city. The staff and service, and the room, were exceptional. When I first arrived, Mert, on reception, spent quite some time going through a map and the range of activities and places to visit. I was also offered a complimentary drink too, which was lovely. At breakfast, there was an extensive range of hot and cold food available, and the especially made gozleme was a delicious addition. The room was very spacious and the bed very comfortable. You get excellent value for money. I can’t imagine there being a better place to stay in Istanbul.

Hotel Amira Istanbul is a very cozy hotel in Fatih district in the central Istanbul. The staff is very friendly and always eager to help. Major sightseeings such as Hagia Sofia and Sultanahmet Mosques are very close as well as historical center of the city. Hotel doesn't have a lot of rooms so it never feels crowded and staff always pays attention to visitors' needs and wellbeing. We had breakfast included which consisted of quite a lot of offerings such as nuts, yoghurts, cheese and meat cuts. There also was a possibility to order very tasty gözleme with customized filling. We look forward to stay in this hotel again when we visit Istanbul next time.

Great location, lovely breakfast and comfortable and clean accommodation, but the stars of the hotel are it’s staff. They were so helpful and friendly and even managed to get us decaffeinated coffee for our room! I would highly recommend this hotel if you are planning to stay in the Sultanahmet location. The roof top bar is fabulous for a drink at the end of the day and if you arrive back after it’s closed you can take your own drink up there to enjoy the view and reflect on your days experiences. Simply wonderful.

Nothing to say.

The staff was amazing from day 1. They helped us with the transport from and to the airport. They helped us find good restaurants and activities (and even lended us a public transportation card we could use). They even prepared us a sandwich on our way back to the airport because we had to leave before breakfast time. The hotel itself is beautiful and in a great location, close to many touristic attractions. The breakfast has a great variety and they even have a rooftop bar/restaurant which has amazing food and drinks with a great view of the city and the sea. We preferred to eat there like 2 or 3 times when we were too tired to go out after all the walking. Our hotel room was really spacious and clean with a beautiful balcony, great view, and silent. We normally sleep with open windows and I was afraid I would wake up with the morning noices, but it never happened. A special thank you to Yasar Kartal who is the waiter at the hotel rooftop cafe/restaurant. He was super attentive with out needs, showed us interest and was extremely kind. It's that kind of service you don't see very often, where you can feel that he works from his heart and puts everything into it. We really thank him for the times he served us with so much dedication! All in all, we can only recommend this hotel. We'd definitely choose this hotel again if we were to visit Istanbul again. We really enjoyed our stay there!

There was nothing we didn't like, really. We can't think of anything that could be improved. Only recommendation we can think of (but maybe that's our personal preference) is to have harder mattresses. The bed was a bit too soft for our taste, but because we prefer harder/firmer mattresses since they are better foe the spine.
