Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Kare Hotel Sultanahmet garners praise for its convenient location, within walking distance of attractions like the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque; though some guests mention a steep hill on the approach to the city center. Guests appreciate the clean, well-equipped rooms, often highlighting the modern bathrooms and comfortable beds. The breakfast receives positive feedback for its variety, even though it starts a bit later at 8 AM, which may not suit all early risers. Many also noted the effective soundproofing and that some rooms feature decent English TV channels.

Mixed Feelings About My Visit

dirty carpets indifferent attitude
The location was quite convenient. Major attractions were within a reasonable distance.
My suite felt smaller than expected, and the carpets were not clean at all. My socks showed it right away. There was also no cleaning service for six days, which I found unacceptable. Finally, the front desk staff rarely greeted me. I found their attitude a bit indifferent.
