The room and courtyard was like an oasis in the middle of the bustling tourist area. The staff was always friendly and very helpful. One the best stays in our vacation history. ##### CALVIN Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Samuel, San Jose 22 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Charming, lack of an elevator means it’s not for everyone. Amazing staff, the penthouse suite on the roof is one of a kind ##### Samuel Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Larry 19 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The Empress Zoe is a Turkish hotel not an americanized lodge. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The garden breakfast is great. Its location in the Sultanamet is terrific-- just minutes from Hagia Sofia, the Blue Mosque, Topkapi palace and the cistern. Second time I have stayed there. Love it. One word of wording though, the hotel has 4 or 5 stories and no elevator. While the helpful staff will take your bags up and down, you must climb a wonder spiral staircase. I would not have it any other way but for those who do not like stairs, this is not your hotel. ##### Larry Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Amanda 27 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Great location, so close to everything. Lovely staff who were all very helpful. Gorgeous little garden to have breakfast in each morning. Highly recommend this hotel. ##### Amanda Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Sonia 21 Jun 2022 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities Empress Zoe. Stayed 1 week. Area is great. Locals are great. Walkable to everywhere. Airport pickup and drop off was arranged by the hotel for 55 euros. But upon my checkout I did not have 55 Euros only Turkish Lira. The front desk said it was fine and took 1800 in Turkish Lira which is double the amount. When I asked for the receipt the front desk lady told me she doesn't have one. It felt dishonest and I left the hotel feeling cheated. I also had other uncomfortable experiences at the hotel, would not stay there again but definitely would go back to Istanbul and visit the city again. ##### Sonia Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amanda 9 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The room was incredible. It was super cozy and had windows that opened. The mattress was the best! Breakfast was available with seating in the courtyard. The hotel staff were very helpful. I needed help confirming a flight change and they called and handled it for me. The location is good, but there are a lot of restaurant hawkers that will pester you on your way to the sights. The rooms aren't handicap accessible... actually, the whole street isn't handicap-friendly (not the hotel's fault). The rooms are very quiet, but there's a minaret outside that announces prayer that can be annoying to some people. ##### Amanda Stayed 3 nights in May 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Tracy 24 May 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location.

In fact the remains of a 700 year old bath house is located right next door and its less than a five minute walk from the hotel to the Blue Mosque. The hotel is brimming with character. The rooms are spotless and the staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. ##### GRAHAM Stayed 1 night in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### marine 6 Apr 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Truly recommended ##### marine Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maxwell 16 Mar 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had an amazing stay at the Hotel Empress Zoe.

Everyone was extremely friendly and the hotel itself is so charming. They made it easy to get to and from the airport and even arranged for a covid test at the hotel. Have a glass of wine by the fireplace at night, and definitely don't sleep on the breakfast, it's delicious! We'll be staying here the next time we're in Istanbul. ##### Emil Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jaime 14 Jan 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities couldn't recommend more. great location, great staff.

Breakfast is ok for that touristic area. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Dec 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 22 Nov 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Delightful, characterful, excellent location We stayed twice - the first time had a small but cosy garden view room with a balcony- most atmospheric sitting on balcony listening to ships' fog horns. The second time we took a lovely family room - despite being on the street side it was quiet (November). Tasty fresh breakfast. Covid 'regs' well implemented when we were there. Plenty of guidebooks and reading matter in reception, helpful staff. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Barb 18 Oct 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful hotel that was clean and comfortable.

The staff and reception were friendly and very attentive. I had a great time staying here. I loved the breakfast and centralized location to all the historical monuments. Easy walking distance to the highlights of Istanbul. BUT… my absolute favorite part of the hotel were their resident cats. I love love love Bobbie and chunky Sophie. I was sad to say bye to them. I picked this hotel because of them and I would return and stay here again because of the cats. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in May 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Radu, Bucharest 31 Aug 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Hotel build next to the ruins of an old Bizantine church - the old wall is part of the hotel, unique experience, unique location, excellent hotel stuff. ##### Radu Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 3 Mar 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This hotel is very great! From arranging rides prior to my visit to check out, they were nothing but helpful. Cenk (desk receptionist) was helpful and was a great guide to consult. The breakfast offered was small but enough. They have very few rooms which makes it feel nicer! It is also very close to the Hagia Sophia and tram stations! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2020 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Sofitel Istanbul Taksim](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Sofitel-Istanbul-Taksim.h42400472.Hotel-Information) > > [Barcelo Istanbul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Barcelo-Istanbul.h32516024.Hotel-Information) > > [Swissotel The Bosphorus Istanbul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Swissotel-The-Bosphorus-Istanbul.h889869.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza Istanbul - Old City by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Istanbul-Old-City.h2211742.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel President Old Town Istanbul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Radisson-President-Beyazit-Istanbul.h9345.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul at the Bosphorus](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Istanbul-At-The-Bosphorus.h1856092.Hotel-Information) > > [The St. Regis Istanbul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-The-St-Regis-Istanbul.h9719651.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hyatt Istanbul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Grand-Hyatt-Istanbul.h14428.Hotel-Information) > > [Dosso Dossi Hotels & Spa Downtown](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Dosso-Dossi-Hotels-Spa-Downtown.h9981839.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Istanbul Bosphorus](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Hilton-Istanbul-Bosphorus.h20867.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Istanbul Bomonti Hotel & Conference Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Hilton-Istanbul-Bomonti-Hotel-Conference-Center.h6226720.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton, Istanbul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-The-Ritz-Carlton.h565576.Hotel-Information) > > [Address Istanbul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Address-Istanbul.h68277409.Hotel-Information) > > [The G Hotels Istanbul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Divan-Suites-Istanbul-G-Plus.h8768240.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza Istanbul Florya by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Istanbul-Florya.h11628263.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Yasmak Sultan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Hotel-Yasmak-Sultan.h527417.Hotel-Information) > > [Raffles Istanbul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Raffles-Istanbul.h8273536.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Istanbul Ataköy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Istanbul-Atakoy.h9127669.Hotel-Information) > > [Ramada Encore By Wyndham Istanbul Basin Express](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Ramada-Encore-By-Wyndham-Istanbul-Basin-Express.h38506356.Hotel-Information) > > [Conrad Istanbul Bosphorus](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Conrad-Istanbul-Bosphorus.h15234.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Istanbul City Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Sheraton-Istanbul-City-Center.h38329865.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton By Hilton Istanbul Old City](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Istanbul-Old-City.h72278508.Hotel-Information) > > [Doubletree By Hilton Istanbul Old Town](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Doubletree-By-Hilton-Istanbul-Old-Town.h3758303.Hotel-Information) > > [Occidental Taksim](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Occidental-Taksim.h1160507.Hotel-Information) > > [Niles Hotel Istanbul - Special Class](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Niles-Hotel-Istanbul-Special-Class.h1583001.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Pera Suite Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Villa-Pera-Suite-Hotel.h6186661.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Istanbul Old City](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Celal-Aga-Konag.h33103149.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Quasar Istanbul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Fairmont-Quasar-Istanbul.h16385021.Hotel-Information) > > [Ottoman's Life Hotel Deluxe](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Ottomans-Life-Hotel-Deluxe.h33628831.Hotel-Information) ---
