Sultan Hostel

The place has a fantastic location and facilities are good. The only problem is a bit noisy in the night time and there was bed bugs.

I chose Sultan Hotel & Hostel because it seemed like the least expensive, cleanest place to stay in Sultanahmet. I looked at a lot of other places that were hotels vs hostels, and between the added cost and repeated mentions of bedbugs (I saw several mentions of them, with repeat complaints at multiple locations), I went for Sultan, which had the most consistent ratings for cleanliness. It was as clean as I'd hoped (the cleaning person came through my floor daily), and although my single room was pretty small, it was more than enough for me. The shared WC and shower room were always clean and fine. Additionally, I expected to have some noise and sleep issues while I was there (it was mentioned in multiple complaints), but maybe because I was on the third floor and in my own room, but no outside/partying noise penetrated. I am a light sleeper and slept well, with no need for earplugs. They only have stairs, which I didn't realize upon booking. An elevator would've made everything perfect. Lugging my stuff up and down multiple flights was not fun, although they did offer to help with my luggage.
