highly recommended hotel because of its location and very courteous and helping staff.”

when I was planning my first trip to turkey, all online vlogs discouraged staying at Sultanahmet, but I learned that if you want to live the essence of the old city you need to live there at least for 2 to 3 days. Basileus hotel with the price it offers is an excellent choice where you can walk to all historical places within 350 to the 800-meter radius, but the most remarkable thing about this hotel is its very courteous and helping staff specially Farook who not only guides us but actually make a personal effort to make sure we don't get scammed and get the best value for our money for traveling to food options. the room itself was clean and beds were comfortable making our stay as comfortable as it possibly be. I booked the hotel for the first 2 days of my trip, but my family liked it so much that they insisted we stay our last day in this hotel again.

Best value for money and amazing host”

It was our first time in Istanbul. We stayed at Basileus hotel and were blown by their hospitality. The room was nice, spacious and clean and also at good location (Close to blue mosque and aya sofia). We were served for most part by Ahmet and he guided us about the entire city and places to go. He even helped us order taxi in the middle of the night to catch our flight. Great hotel and host, highly recommended!

Primitive place in a strategic location”

Staff were very helpful in arranging airport transfer at moderate costs. Hotel location is exceptional. Facilities are primitive (shower is actually a jacuzzi, fridge is generating a lots of heat in the room and the A/C generates noise)

Very Good Hotel in the Heart of Sultanahmet”

I stayed for 3 days and 2 nights and it was amazing! I booked a basement double room and They upgraded me to a double room with a terrace. The room is big and just walking distance to the tourist spots of Sultanahmet. Faruk has a very good service and helped me a lot everytime I asked questions. I recommend to stay here.
