Worst hammam in istanbul
The hotel location is nice. The rooms are quite dated and need a refresh. Housekeeping staff are friendly and helpful. The reception team on the other hand are quite rude and abrupt. But by far the worst experience was the Kosem spa. The owner was outside the hotel promoting the spa. With a vip package and said he would do a good deal for me and my 2 friends. So we booked it for the following day.… The hotel location is nice. The rooms are quite dated and need a refresh. Housekeeping staff are friendly and helpful.

Good value for money
The hotel is situated approx. 5 min from the Hagia Sophia in the old part of Istanbul. Staff are really friendly and go extra mile to make your stay comfortable and relaxed. When I asked for a brown bread or pretzels to take for my journey home the breakfast manager Erhan with a smile sent someone to the bakery to get the items. Staff were welcoming always greeting us with a smile. We were impress… The hotel is situated approx. 5 min from the Hagia Sophia in the old part of Istanbul.

A Very Negative Experience at Byzantium Spa
My experience at Byzantium Spa was extremely disappointing. The treatments were substandard, the staff were inattentive, and the overall environment felt neglected. The sauna had a strong sewage odour, making it unusable.The most serious issue was that I booked the entire wellness area for a women-only session, yet men entered the space regardless. This is a major breach of trust and privacy. When… My experience at Byzantium Spa was extremely disappointing.

Fantastic stay at Hotel Byzantium, Sultanahmet
We had an amazing time at Hotel Byzantium. The staff are absolutely amazing — from the front desk to housekeeping, everyone was so friendly and helpful. The restaurant is a star ? The food was excellent and the service was very warm. Location couldn’t be better. It’s within walking distance to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, tram service, and all the other landmark places. Restaurants and shops are… We had an amazing time at Hotel Byzantium. The staff are absolutely amazing — from the front desk to housekeeping, everyone was so friendly and helpful.
