Staff was really kind and helpful. Thank you for the upgrade! We got a better and larger room than the one we had booked. Breakfast was excellent and it was located in a room where we had the privilege to see Hagia Sofia, the Blue Mosque and the Sea of Marmara. Location is great for visiting the main landmarks in Istanbul. For our second day we hired, through the hotel, a whole-day tour by bus and boat along the Bosphorus. It was very informative and well organized and we visited Dolmabahce Palace, Pierre Loti Hill and part of the city walls and could enjoy the view of the banks of Bosphorus and the Golden Horn. It was really worth it.

Blue Mosque

Constructed between 1609 and 1616, the striking Sultan Ahmed Mosque – or ‘Blue Mosque’ – is still a place of worship today. With no war victories to fund it, this opulent structure had to be paid for straight from the treasury – angering the Ottoman legal scholars of the time! Non-Muslim visitors are encouraged to visit, but should be respectful of the strict dress code.

    The Blue Mosque — Sacred Stillness in a Lively World

    The Blue Mosque — Sacred Stillness in a Lively World Stepping into the courtyard of the Blue Mosque (Sultanahmet Camii) is like crossing into another time. Its towering minarets and sweeping domes echo with centuries of prayer, artistry, and devotion — a masterpiece of Ottoman architecture that still breathes with the spirit of Islam. Inside, the air is silent despite the buzz of tourists. Light filters through stained-glass windows, dancing across thousands of hand-painted blue Iznik tiles. There’s a deep reverence here — not only for faith, but for heritage itself. You feel it in every arch, every call to prayer, every quiet footstep across the carpeted floor. And yet, outside the mosque, life unfolds with its own charm: cats stretch lazily in sun-warmed corners, dogs nap peacefully under shady trees. Meanwhile, travelers from every corner of the world struggle for the perfect angle — clicking away hundreds of “crazy” photos, but always with a sense of wonder. Despite the crowds, the atmosphere remains remarkably friendly and trustworthy. Locals smile. Tourists help each other with photos. There's an unspoken agreement to respect the moment — and the place. This isn’t just a tourist stop. It’s a symbol — of culture that knows how to honor the past without shutting the present out. And it leaves you walking away with something more than just pictures.

    Ensure that you have clothing that covers your knees, apllicable to both men and women. Women additionally need to ensure that they have a headscarf to cover head and shoulders. They now charge for the coverings if you don't have

    As a Christian, first time in a mosque, I was impressed. The colors and architecture are impressive. I was lucky enough to have the accommodation 5min away so I could enjoy the beauty before going in, one night before. I recognize I was disguised by the non-Muslims that are not able to respect other people beliefs and gets in the prayer area just for pictures. Pity them. You should never put your pictures before the place you are, no matter what.

    One of the most sought after architectural wonders.

    One of the most sought after architectural wonders. It’s free. But dress appropriately. No bare shoulders, no bare knees and women need a scarf to cover their heads. Best to go prepared but you will also need given disposable covers at the entrance.

    The accommodation was an excellent choice in every respect. The location is perfect, just a few minutes from the Blue Mosque. The accommodation itself was superb, both the staff and the room were exceptional. The beds are very comfortable, and although it is close to the busiest part of Istanbul, the hotel itself is very quiet. It was very clean. The breakfast offered a wide selection and was very tasty. The hotel management does everything to make guests feel great and anticipates their every wish.

    A fabulous place to stay in Istanbul. The room was modern, clean, and had a lovely balcony with a view. The breakfast was delicious. The Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia are literally 5 minutes away on foot. The staff were very helpful and spoke good English. The hotel also has a nice terrace restaurant with beautiful views. We wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

    Henna hotel is the perfect location to see all historic sites around Istanbul. Close to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia etc and also easy to grab a tram or walk to the ferry to cruise the Bosphorus Strait or head over to the Asian side of Istanbul. The breakfast was outstanding. Also a big thank you to Ali for all the help and advice to make our stay in Istanbul that much more memorable!

    It is our second stay in this hotel. This is one of the best hotels we've ever had during our numerous trips around the world. Everything is amazing, extremely clean and beautiful rooms with amazing views. The staff is so kind and helpful, it's a real pleasure to interact with them. The hotel is perfectly placed, close to Sultanahmet (10 mins walk to the Blue Mosque) and plenty of amazing restaurants. We can't imagine another place to stay during our trips to Istanbul. We fully recommend it to anyone visiting Istanbul.

    Both main airports in Istanbul are quite a distance out from some of the main areas where some big sights are (Sultanahmet, Eminonu, Galata etc), so once that journey's out the way, this hotel was a short walk (about 20 minutes) from the Veznecıler metro stop, and then for the stay, was a 20-minute walk from places such as Grand Bazaar, Blue Mosque, so in a great location. Check-in was swift and staff were friendly. Room was cleaned every day. Breakfast was a great buffet, with plenty of options. A great bargain too for 4-nights!
