Rough Guide "Completely renovated as a five-star hotel... Excellent, attentive service as you’d expect."
Frommer's "The opulent and luxurious bathrooms, all with separate toilet cabin, present a formidable amount of competition for time spent sightseeing, and the king-size beds are amazingly comfy." Full review
Concierge "Probably the only Four Seasons in a prison, and one of the smallest in the chain, but there's nothing confining about this 65-room hotel."
Fodor's "A former prison just steps from Topkapı Palace and Aya Sofya is now one of Istanbul's premier accommodations, where rooms and suites are luxuriously outfitted." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Award
""It seems smaller and feels more intimate than it is. We were addressed by name everywhere we went, and the concierge is incredible."" Full review
Lonely Planet "A regular entry in ‘Best Hotel in the World’ lists, this place oozes quality and comfort."

Frommer's "You either love this one or hate it. That's because in all of the deluxe rooms, each small bathroom doubles as a marble-clad mini-hamam." Full review
Fodor's "Grand marble stairways, columns, Greek statues, and fountains grace the public spaces, and rooms have touches like ornate ceiling mouldings... and cushioned divans for reclining." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This is the ideal place to spoil yourself. Less authentically refurbished than some other establishments, it is, nevertheless, a refined hotel that deserves its palace title."
Star Service "This low-lying reddish-pink boutique-hotel in the heart of Old Istanbul was designed to look old in a faux-Classical style that some will like while leaving others cold." Full review

Staffers are friendly although a bit distant and not quick on their feet to respond to guest requests.

"The Sultanahmet Palace Hotel is a solid three-pearl option for travelers who want to be in the historic quarter as close to the Blue Mosque as possible." Full review
