A nice little hotel in a very convenient location for the old town attractions (Blue Mosque, Topaki Palace, Hagia Sophia). It's a fairly old hotel with lots of character. Don't go there expecting very modern facilities as you'll be disappointed but it has all you need for a city break. The breakfast (taken at a nearby terrace) is fairly basic and caters more for the Mediterranean/Asian travelers. Bread, cheese, cold meats, olives etc. and cake. no toast which would have been nice. All in all a friendly place and I wouldn't put anyone off.

Room was clean. Central location to Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia and Topkapi. Front desk people were quite helpful. The 3rd bed in our room was a pull out sofa which was not comfortable - springs were poking through at several places. The bathtub had a jacuzzi that didn’t work; Breakfast was fine; If you are a vegetarian, you have cereal, bread, cheese, tomatoes, cucumbers and watermelon. Coffee was definitely not the “Turkish” type. BTW, Hippodrome and Azade hotels are one and the same. We had booked with Hippodrome; stayed at Azade!

The room was basic, bathroom was clean but very small. Breakfast was the same everyday. They could have had different varieties of fruits and better selection of breads. The choice is limited for vegetarians especially vegans.

Perfect hotel for sightseeing
This hotel is in a perfect location to see the best sites. Literally walking distance from the Blue Mosque, Haji Sophia etc. Plus the staff was so good to us. They took great care of us during our whole stay. Helped us get cabs. Breakfast buffet was served in their nearby sister hotel which had a beautiful Bosporus view and had longer breakfast hours and a better selection than most US hotels. It is surrounded by restaurants, cafes, and shops. There are small markets nearby which carry everything we needed.

A perfect stay
Our actual stay was in Azade hotel as twin room was not available in Hippodrome so they accommodated us in their sister hotel. So my review is about Azade hotel. This is a very good hotel for many reasons. The hotel staff is very helpful especially Ahmet, at reception.he is very cooperative and ready for assistance all the time. He guided us very well for all the activities in Istanbul and booked few for us. The rates were reasonable. The hotel is located in the best location in Sultan Ahmet Square. Araasta bazaar is at 5 mins walk and tram is at 15 mins walk. Rooms are airy , clean and comfortable. Breakfast is really good but they can add some variety to make it more delightful.The views from the terrace are unforgettable. Hotel environment is very pleasant and overall, its a thumbs up for the hotel.
