On the old peninsula of Istanbul, fifteen-minutes from the Grand Bazaar, Sarnic Hotel Istanbul is a four-star hotel in the heart of Sultanahmet. The hotel; which purports to offer traditional Turkish hospitality, is set in a former mansion. Each of the 21 rooms has air conditioning, TV with International channels, minibar, keycard access, hairdryer and an en-suite. The hotel has a TV, magazines, guide books and comfortable seating in the lobby, a concierge desk and, for an opportunity to take a taste of Turkey home with you, offers traditional cooking classes. Continental buffet breakfast is served daily and, in the rooftop restaurant and terrace, Ottoman and Turkish dishes are available. There is also a bar serving everything from cocktails to coffees. The Blue Mosque is just two-minutes away, and can be seen from the roof terrace, Haghia Sophia can be reached in four-minutes and Topkapi Palace in ten.
Virtually all the main historical attractions in Istanbul are within walking distance; from the Blue Mosque to the Grand Bazaar, the Basilica Cistern and Topkapi Palace. If you are planning on sightseeing during your trip to the City you would struggle to find somewhere more convenient.
Whether you opt for the garden (with resident cats) or the rooftop terrace, there are several spots at Sarnic where you can relax in the open air. The rooftop terrace, in particular, is popular, thanks to the sweeping views it enjoys over the Blue Mosque and the Bosphorus.
Rooms are basic, but clean and comfortable but, for most, they are entirely manageable considering the excellent location and the wonderful staff. Previous guests have remarked on how friendly and attentive the team are at Sarnic, and those staying for several days swiftly feel like part of the family.
Thanks to its historic building setting, rooms vary dramatically. Some are large, some are considerably smaller and it does also depend upon which side of the hotel you are on. Guests find that, in general, guest rooms on the 'boutique' side are more compact than those on the 'premier' side.
There is no escaping that the hotel is situated in a prime tourist area. Convenient? Yes. Yet, for some, there are pitfalls. You are likely to encounter some beggars on the streets near the hotel (who can be persistent), and light sleepers are advised to pack earplugs to avoid being awoken in the early hours by the call to prayer.
Previous guests have reported that the Wi-Fi is inconsistent; frequently dropping out and delivering low speeds.
