Great Hotel with everything you expect... Highly reccomended... Would like to go again very near future..... more

We booked from Germany through "holidaycheck.de", another good website with hotel reviews for german customers. We looked for a cheap but comfortable hotel near to the most common monuments. Beside one or two other recommended hotels we found the Sapphire - all in all the best what you can get for fair conditions. Location The hotel is in Sirkeci, the... more

My family has just returned from Istanbul. We felt happy to stay at Sapphire hotel. The rooms were beautifully furnished, with Turkish elements in style. The hall is magnificent -the place to take pictures! The people at front desk are very friendly and helpful. Breakfast offered a great variety of choices. I would also advice to take advantage of the... more

All in all, worth a high recommendation. The highlights are the central yet quiet location, the friendeliness and efficiency of the staff, and the superb breakfast. The rooms are adequate, if a little small.

That was one of the main reasons I wanted to stay in the Old City (Sultanahmet). The staff at the hotel were wonderful, and when my plan landed at... more

When we arrived we were taken to a twin room, while the booking clearly indicated that we wanted a double and had paid more for it. After complaining to reception we were moved to a double... more

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Sapphire Hotel. The accommodation was very comfortable and the staff were very helpful/friendly. It's a perfect city hotel in the heart of Istanbul so there is easy access to the major sights i.e. the Topkami. Istanbul is a fascinating city and to have a hotel which is so central is important. Above all... more

We stayed at the Hotel Sapphire with 3 ladies and we were very comfortable accommodated. The staff was very friendly, the reception, mr. Vural. Breakfast was great and everything was perfect. Even when coming home this was once more a fact. I forgot something personal and they kept it for me in their safe until someone was able to pick... more
