About
Edibe Sultan Hotel
Edibe Sultan Hotel occupies a modest 31-room building on Hoca Rustem Mektebi Street, in the Alemdar District of Istanbul's old city. The location is the draw: the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and the Sultanahmet tram station are all within walking distance, and the Arap Mosque is about a 10-minute drive away. The hotel keeps things simple with air-conditioned rooms, free Wi-Fi, and a 24-hour reception.
Guests consistently praise the staff, rating them 9.1 out of 10, and the rooms score 8.7. The breakfast, served with homemade sweets, also earns regular mentions. The property is non-smoking throughout and does not allow pets, but offers practical extras like laundry, currency exchange, and a paid airport shuttle.
