“Joyway Hotels Istanbul Sultanahmet is defined by its location steps from the Hagia Sophia. The rooftop dining area seals the deal, combining Turkish cuisine with panoramic city and sea views. I think its proximity to major attractions and transport makes it ideal for first-time visitors seeking an immersive experience, but be aware that some rooms are only accessible via stairs.”

The hotel's location was very convenient for visiting historical sites.

The shower was quite dirty , and I question if it was ever cleaned . The rain shower head was full of dirt and limescale, concerning. I ended up using only the small shower connector.

I really liked the hotel. The staff was exceedingly kind and accommodating. They readily assisted us with any inquiries. The hotel was impeccably clean. Fresh towels were provided daily. Complimentary water was replenished in the fridge each day.

The lighting in the bathroom felt a little dim. it was functional, but brighter lights would have been a plus.
