Hotel Amira Istanbul is a small, welcoming hotel in the heart of Sultanahmet. From the moment I arrived, the friendly staff made me feel at home. Check-in was quick, and they were always ready with helpful tips about the city.
My room was clean and comfortable, with simple decor that still felt warm and inviting. The bed was soft, and I appreciated small touches like a selection of Turkish teas and daily turndown service. Housekeeping kept everything neat without ever disturbing my schedule.
The rooftop terrace is a real highlight. It offers a clear view of Istanbul’s famous skyline, with domes and minarets all around. It was the perfect spot to relax in the morning sun or watch the city lights at night.
Each day began with a delicious Turkish-style breakfast. The spread included menemen (scrambled eggs with tomato and pepper), fresh simit (sesame bread rings), local cheeses, olives, honeycomb, and seasonal fruit. The staff served everything quickly and were happy to explain each dish.
Overall, Hotel Amira delivers exactly what you need: a clean, comfortable room; attentive, friendly service; and a great location near major sights. If you want a simple, stress-free stay in Istanbul with a taste of local flavors, this hotel is a solid choice.
