The location is great and the roof terrace has great views of the blue mosque and hagia Sophia.

A perfect location for the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia Palace, various spice markets/bazaars and the Sultan Ahmet Parki where you can pick up the ''hop on hop off bus' to tour the city.

Great view of Aya Sofia and the Blue Mosque from their rooftop terrace too.

It's at a great location near all the tourist attraction locations such as Hagia Sophia and Topkapi Place as well as the blue mosque and Grand Bazaar.

The  main USP of the hotel is its location which is very close to Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque and the other is their staff.

Literally five minutes on foot from the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, the hotel is ideally located.

It is literally around the corner from the blue mosque with stunning view from the rooftop.

The Blue Mosque is a five minute walk, shops and eateries as well.

The hotel is strategically located and we were minutes away from the Hagia Sophia, Sultanahmet Square, Blue Mosque, Bazaar, Airport Bus Terminal, etc.

Hotel Uyan is unbelievably well located, just off Sultanahmet Square, midway between the Haghia Sophia and the Blue Mosque.

This hotel is just a five minute walk from Hagia Sofia and the Blue Mosque.

Located in the heart of Sultanahmed, 2 mins walk to Blue Mosque and Aya Sofia.

We stayed at Uyan Hotel for 5 nights in the Blue Mosque Corner Room.

The hotel is just   aa few steps from the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia.

We really enjoyed the rooftop terrace, morning and night, with a panoramic view of the Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and the Bosporus/Sea of Marmara.

Uyan is a 3 minute walk from the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia and a 5 min walk from the Sultanahmed Trolly stop.

It’s clean, the room was spacious AND it’s a great location to the important sites in Istanbul including the Blue Mosque and Aya Sophia.

Hotel is located few minutes walk from the Blue Mosque and the Hagia Sofia.

Literally an around the corner walk to Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia.

Best thing with the hotel is its location and is very close to all Important tourist places like Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque etc.

We stayed here for 5 nights, I went for this hotel due to the location as advice on a first visit to Istanbul seemed geared towards staying in Sultanahmet area, in hind sight I wouldn't actually agree with that advice

The biggest highlight is the location (perfect) and the reception staff.

Perfectly located for the Topkapi, the mosques and bazaar.

In terms of location, it is fantastic and cannot be faulted.

Nice area, location very close to main attractions & tram routes.

The location is ideal close to sultanahmet place in the historical center of Istanbul.

Uyan Hotel is located in the old part of Istanbul (Sultanahmet) and there is consequently no noise from traffic or late-night bars and discos.

Pros: amazing location - walking distance to Sultanahmet area.

The only pro of this place is the location.

The hotel's location is perfect, very close to the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia.

Good price for a clean hotel in a top location.

For what I understood (I might be wrong), most of the "poor" and "terrible" reviews to be read on TA date back from the previous manager, so there seems to be much to her credit.

Breakfast is nice, the only poor moment - almost all the same food everyday.

Like others have noted many of the major sites just a couple of minutes walking, and I am a slow walker.

but I found it pretty slow and it was prone to drop out on occasion.

But they are pretty slow to restock the scrambled egg.

Internet is available in the room or outside, sometimes a bit slow,

although the roof terrace view more than makes up for this.

Good breakfast with pleasant view.. Staff helpful & polite.

Take your earplugs if the morning (sunrise) call to prayer disturbs you.

The rooms are clean, the bathrooms are modern and the breakfast is great (you can't beat having breakfast with that view!).

When I booked, I saw very nice pictures including a view of the mosque.

Remember to explore the rooftop - you will get a good view of the surroundings.

but pleasing, sunny and (as above) with a good outlook.

Be aware that this proximity means even with earplugs you will likely wake up from the sunrise call to prayer.

You can enjoy a terrace with breathtaking views.

There is only one Blue Mosque Corner Room in the hotel (it has a nice view of the Blue Mosque) and we had taken care to book that specific room on the hotel's website several weeks before our arrival.

We had a room on the top (4th) floor with a view of the Bosphorous and partial view of the Blue Mosque.

Hotel Uyan is an excellent staying hotel located in the heart of the old city.Most of the monuments are in Sultanahmet square which is just about 3 to 4 minutes walk from the hotel.Very friendly and helpful staff.From the terrace can view Blue mosque and sofiya museum.Mr.Khadir at the reception is a friendly man ,Very helpful.As soon as we arrived he took us to the room,terrace and explained to us about how to go about the sight seeing.Thanks Mr.Khadir

Hotel Uyan is next to Sultanahmet Square, great view of Hagia & Blue Mosque from 3 floor rooms facing north and top of the hotel.

We had breakfast in the rooftop which offered an amazing view of the Blue Mosque and the Hagia Sofia from  the back side of the hotel and the sea at the other side.

but hind sight is a valuable commodity .Hotel was fine, clean, central, the airport taxi dropped us off at the end of the road and pointed vaguely, it seems they cannot actually go up to the door, seeing as there were many times on that drive I thought we would die as the driver spent the entire breakneck speed journey texting on his mobile, a short walk was not an issue.

Easy to walk anywhere for restaurants and sightseeing
and easy to relax in the hotel when not

Clean, comfortable hotel about 1 minute walk from Sultanahmet Mosque.

This place is in an incredible location--you can see both the blue mosque and the Hagia Sophia from the rooftop and walk to either one in a couple minutes.

everything can be reach from 5 to 30min walk.

5 mins walk to Blue mosque and Hagia Sofia.

It’s a 5 min walk from the Blue Mosque and Agia Sophia, lots of restaurants nearby.

The Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia are a mere 5 to 10 minute- walk away.

but we could have walked it in about 40 mins.

Great location - 5 minute walk from Hagia Sofia Museum, Blue Mosque & other tourist sites nearby.

It was maybe a 20 minute walk from Grand Bazaar.

Within 5 minute walk to almost all major tourist destinations.

many cafes and restaurants on few minutes walk.

The Alzer hotel is right next to the Blue Mosque and the Hagia Sophia Mosque.

The hotel is only a 2 minute walk to the Blue Mosque and the Hagia Sofia.

Nice location, right in front of the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia.

Nice buffet breakfast on the roof with great views of the Blue Mosque.

Our room had a lovely view of the Blue Mosque from.our window.

The main room had a great view of the blue mosque

Breakfast was a standard Turkish breakfast and did the job.

The hotel is in the heart of Istanbul, opposite to the Blue Mosque.

The location of the hotel is unbeatable; central to Sophia Hagia, Blue mosque, and main streets making the hotel walking distance from most main attractions in old town including the grand Bazaar and spice market.

Rooftop restaurant has an amazing view of Blue mosque, Hagia Sophia and the Obelisk.

The restaurant on the 6th floor had also a great view on Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque.

but most of all I was impressed by the view from the window: the beloved Blue Mosque Sultanahmet, in the distance the stunning Bosphorus,  seagulls circling in the sky and waking up to the morning adhan.

The hotel has the best view of the Blue Mosque.

Literally a 1 min walk to the Blue Mosque and 5 min walk to the Grand Bazaar.

Located walking distance to blue mosque,hypodrome and hagia sofia.

Great location, some 100 metres from Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia, Topkapi Palace and the Yerbatin Cisterne.

A mere metres away from the Blue Mosque & Hagia Sofia on the Sultanahmet Square.

Situated just across the obelisk and the Blue Mosque, the hotel is very well located

Great location just across from Blue Mosque.

We stopped by for a tea, having visited the nearby Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia.

This hotel is in an excellent location where you can get a beautiful view of the Blue Mosque!

Breakfast is taken  on the roof with super views of the city.

The area was super safe walking distance Topkapi Palace, Grand Bazaar, Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia

Breakfast is delicious allot options and view of mosque and Hagia Sofia from rooftop was phenomenal 

Our room was exactly like the photos clean, neat and beautiful view of Blue Mosque

Big thanks to friendly Ömer A++ service

The rooms were cleaned impeccably every day and the choice at breakfast was amazing.

The owners and staff are very genuine people..
Breakfast is on upper terrace ..

The hotel was clean and an adequate breakfast was served on the terrace which had a great view!

Complimentary breakfast from 8am to 10 am on the enclosed top floor Terrance with views of the city and sea.

We love the breakfast, healthy and filling.

The restaurant waiters were very welcoming and the breakfast was excellent!!!

I had breakfast here 1 time then i gotta came back in the next morning.

The manager is definitely a people person and the chef on the 6th floor bakes his own bread for the buffet breakfast and the slim waiter is great to chat to.

Nice warm breakfast at  the roof top with amazing views of blue mosque and bosphorus .

The view from the breakfast area makes it all worth it.

Fantastic central location for sight seeing and eating out.

It's ideally located for local sights like Blue Mosque, Hague Sofia & Tapakl Palace..

And close to many local restaurants to save using taxis..
Talking of taxi, they will drop you close,

The location of this hotel is so convenient for the visitors who like to see the historical areas of Istanbul.

The location is just perfect for seeing the area, everything is close by.

The location is amazing, you can walk just about everywhere.

What I want to emphasize - is this location (10 out of 10).

First and foremost the hotel is located in the historical area of Sultanahmet.

When I arrived at the hotel I was very happy with the location

I must say it's one of the perfectly located hotel in sultanahmet just besides blue masjid.

The hotel is located in the wonderful historical center of the city right on Sutlanahmet Square.

We were adored by it's location and a very nice and friendly stuff!

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Alzer Hotel, caring service, excellent food & hospitality, great location in old Istanbul and friendly staff and management.

Its location is conveniently close to major sights.

Warm welcoming and helpful staff and great location to see all of the must see sights.

The only negative I would say is that the decor is rather outdated - wouldn't call it modern.

To hear the call to prayer is wonderful and you can smell the history by staying at the Alzer.

The call to prayer cannot be avoided in Istanbul.

Others said the call to prayer was very loud

Be mindful that you are right next to the Mosque so front facing rooms will hear the call the prayer.

Added bonsu for heavy sleepers- call to prayers BLASTED into your room, like out of a movie

Expect the 5.30am prayer call, it only lasts for a few minutes and you can easily go back to sleep.

but this does not protect you from the morning call to prayer at 5:15am!

Calls from the muezzin can be heard during the day,

She wasn't getting any better so asked the front desk if they would call a doctor.

The only downsides: at 4:30 am, being so close to the Blue Mosque for the call to prayer was not helpful in shaking jet-lag.

On balance I would avoid The Alzer until the contruction work has been completed, phone or Email them first to check on progress, as the pavement outside the hotel may have been completed when you plan to travel.

The hotel is directly across the street from the Blue Mosque, therefore you are awakened at 4:30 each morning to a very loud speaker system for the call to prayer.

She had no money and no way to contact us (our cell phones did not work).

You soon get used to the loud calls to prayers from the Blue Mosque too - all adds to the authentic experience rather than the more sterile chain hotels.

Other people have mentioned the call to the prayer in the early hours of the morning which, of course, is quite loud given the proximity to the Blue Mosque.

After numerous phone calls he located it, then ran the couple to the airport to recover their cases & then sped back to the port in his car and got them on their Cruise ship minutes before it sailed.

As we were on the third floor we did leave the window ajar at night to try and combat this, at least until the early morning call to prayer!

however recommend taking ear plugs to anyone whose sleep is likely to be disturbed by the morning call to prayer.But after the first night  this actually seemed to lull rather than intrude.

but then got used to it.loved the hotel,we were upgraded to lovely rooms 24&25 as we booked 2 rooms.it had a private small hallway so only needed to lock that main door for privacy.location is everything!

The number of the hotel doesn't work , want to book a room that over looks blue mosque .

Our reserved room was not available the first night, so we were put up in their big 4th floor suite facing the Blue Mosque.

My family and I were 6,  so we booked 2 rooms where I shared one room with 2 daughters and my husband with our two sons.

I was not best pleased on arrival to find that they didn't have the room reservations we had asked for - one twin room.

We were told that they had double booked our room etc

but, when we reached the hotel after our airport pick-up, we learned that "there was a mistake" : they had booked 22 rooms instead of 21 for that first night :-(( of course, they took us to another hotel "next door" (50 meters) but this was a bit disappointing .

Room was small & cozy which we didn’t mind since we used it for sleep only.

After all, you are only sleeping and touring.

If you are planning just to go to sleep is perfect!!

but in reality all you are going to use your hotel room for on a vacation is to sleep.

If you are two in the bed, you have to sleep very close together to be fully covered.

NOt  to mention that we were there 3 nights to sleep and did not sleep at all.

My advice: only sleep in this hotel after the escape routes have been cleared again.

though it tends to get very noisy and I had trouble sleeping even with the windows closed.

Recommendations:
You might need mosquito repellent for a good night sleep.

AC was a bit slow to work so cooling the room took time.

Upon arrival our flight was late and getting through customs slow.

At times the WIFI was fine, other times it was so painfully slow that we gave up.

The Grand Bazar is just over a 10 minute walk.

You can easily walk to nearby attractions.

Don’t bother going on a walking tour, just go on your own and get lost and find your way back.

My favorite part is that you walk out of the hotel and you are in the heart of the action!

This was a nice hotel which was very conveniently located to all the attractions and also a short walk to the Tram stop.

If you're walking then you can quickly get to Hagia Sofya, the Basilica Cisterna, the Blue Mosque and many more sights.

It is literally 5 to 10 minutes walk to most of the attractions.

You have shops and restaurants at walking distant

5 star to Gokan on reception, from first day till the last day he was very helpful, hotel was good Just a 3 minute walk to blue masjid and all other major attractions very also close by will visit again

So close to the blue (sultanahmet)mosque,arista bazaar,great souvenir shop (hippodrome)nearby which we miss so much,hagia sophia,topkopi,cistern,fountain,about 10 minutes walk to tram station & main road with restaurants,not too far from grand bazaar & spice bazaar,close to bosphorus boat cruises.the hotel breakfast was nice,friendly chef with incredible views whilst eating.only cons with hotel were some people still smoked in their rooms which would seep through vents & the kids and i would cough a lot.the reception did see to that immediately

The hotel is in a good location opposite all main attractions including Blue Mosque and a 15 min walk to Grand Bazaar.

Perfect location within a few minutes walk from all the sights here.

The location is a perfect 10 because you can visit Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Hammams, Old Sultanahmet Mosque and Grand Bazaar by walking.

Stayed here for 5 days and the location was great to walk around to a lot of the tourist areas around.

If you prefer to catch the tram it’s only a 3-minute walk from the Hotel – Sultanamet Tram stop.

the Blue Mosque, Aya Sofia and the sea (the Grand Bizarre is a 15 mins walk).

Infact it is on the actual Hippodrome opposite the Blue Mosque and a few minutes walk from the tram stop.

Alzer hotel has best location on the historical hippodrome where the culture meets.when you walk just outside of the hotel.

It was great to wake up every day to a magnificent breakfast upstairs where we were treated so well in preparation of lots of walking.

Walking to blue mosque less than 5 minutes.

Restaurants, shopping, Blue Mosque, Sofia Haggis, Topkapi Palace,Hippodrome are all with an easy walk.

It is very near the blue mosque and you do not have to walk up the slope too much unlike many other hotels further down the slope.

Also it was easy few minutes to walk to all the sights such as the blue mosque and bazaar areas and staying at Ada rather than in a big hotel in outer part of  istanbul I received the true taste of Turkish and their lovely hospitality with the shops and cafes and little parks//squares/mosques all so near by also.

Great Location, walking distance to Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Grand Bazar, etc.

Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia are 5 minutes walk.

We walked  out the door, around the corner and we were in the hippodrome and at the foot of the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque and cisterns.

The Hotel is about 5 minute walk from the main square that has the Hippodrome, Theodus' Obelisk, Hagia Sofia, and the Blue Mosque.

The blue mosque and other notable sites were a short walk away.

20 mins from Ataturk airport, in the middle of the Old City (Sultanahmet), 5 minutes’ walk from the most popular Istanbul sights; the Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Ayasofia (Hagia Sofia), Hurrem Sultan's Baths, Grand Bazaar, Spice Bazaar, Basilica Cistern and loads of shopping – I suggest the Arasta bazaar next to the Blue Mosque, which is smaller and less intense than the Grand Bazar.

Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque,  Grand Bazaar Spice Souq.

The best part of the hotel is the location - being located in the Sultanahmet, one can walk to the main attractions, be it the Grand Bazaar, the Blue Mosque or the quaint little cafes and shopping outlets.

but not least the hotel is so close to historical places like Blue Mosque, Topkapi palace,… so you don’t need to pay for taxi to reach to these famous sightseeing and also a tram station (sultanahmed station) is just 5 minutes walk from the hotel.

Location was also excellent, I could even walk to the Blue mosque for prayers, also there are other old mosques such as the Little Hagia Sophia mosque just a couple of minutes away.

Hotel is in a quite area in SultanAhmet and an easy walk to major attractions like Blue mosque and Aya Sophia.

Location is great, 5-10 minutes walk to Sultanahmed Masjid (Blue Mosque) and near Haghia Shopia and Topkapi palace.

Hotel is 5 mins walk to the Blue Mosque area so couldn't ask for a better location.

Both properties are in perfect locations.

This fabulous traditional Turkish hotel is located in a terrific location.

I had a very restful stay with Ada in the most perfect little location of old city Istanbul - Views from the breakfast room are wonderful and by balcony view also was impressive.

Due to the hotel's location in one of the best parts of Europe, Istanbul, we were able to easily walk to antiquities such as the mosque in the shortest possible time.
