The Bucoleon Palace Hotel is located in the heart of the old city area - Istanbul.. you can walk to most of the sites and many good restaurants. The rooms are lovely; decorated with the influence of Art-Deco style.. the breakfast is served on the terrace floor where you can enjoy the view of the Marmara sea and the prince... More

On arrival at the hotel the receptionist seemed unsure that we even had a reservation. Once I produced my print out he took another 10 minutes of tapping on his computer before he confirmed that we did indeed have a reservation. No apology given! Not the best of welcomes. We had been so excited to arrive at the hotel and... More

Great service, the entire staff willing to go the extra mile, helping however much they can. The location was excellent, and in my opinion the only hotel to stay in to experience the atmosphere of Istanbul, more specifically the historical Sultanahmet area. Definitely planning on returning soon with friends. I strongly recommend this beautiful hotel to anyone planning to visit... More

the place is very stratergic,within walking distance to almost all sultanahmet historical site. we got quite a small room,but with only ?43 pernight, it worth everything. 24hour reception and 10mins walk from sultnahamnet tram.quite hilly walking if u have to carry baggage.

The location is great, about a 10 min (max) walk to the Blue Mosque, there are a number of nice restaurants in the area. The rooms are clean, look nice, bathroom is good too. The only negative for me was a very poor breakfast. Taxi to Ataturk airport will set you back about $20.

I stayed five nights at this hotel and was very pleased in every way. The rate was very good, the location was superb, and the service was impeccable. Given that it's situated in such a central area (Sultan Ahmet), you'd expect it to be a bit on the expensive side. However, the rate was very reasonable. Also, almost all of... More
