The breakfast was phenomenal. The staff were lovely and helpful. The place was full of character.

Lots of stairs!

​Our stay at Hotel Empress Zoe was pure magic! Situated in the perfect location for exploring the major sites of Sultanahmet, it made sightseeing effortless, especially with easy access to the tram just a short walk away. ​Each morning started with a fantastic breakfast served in a beautiful, lush courtyard—such a peaceful way to begin the day. The views from the rooftop terrace are absolutely amazing, offering stunning panoramic vistas of the city. ​The staff could not have been more helpful or welcoming throughout our stay. Our room was comfortable, authentically decorated, and full of character. To top it all off, the friendly resident cats make a unique and charming addition to the experience. We can't wait to return!
