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 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.
