Reviews of Duru Sultanahmet Apart & Suites
Ella from United Kingdom (9/10)
Great location, easy check in, nice comfortable rooms. We had two rooms (rooms 2 and 4) I would
opt for 4 as it was quite a bit bigger.Vladimir from Germany (9/10)
the apartment is spacious and has a lot of light and a nice balcony
David from United Kingdom (8/10)
It's a little hard to find at first but it's very well located for the heart of the Old Town (Sultanahmet) – short walk to the square with the Blue Mosque on one side and Hagia Sophia on the other. The apartment had all the facilities you need and I thought it was good value for money
Zhecho from Bulgaria (9/10)
Perfect location, big enough and parkings nearby
Andis from Australia (9/10)

Ammar from United Arab Emirates (9/10)
The stuff attended for area exploration and where to go and what is the best place to visit
Zach from United Kingdom (8/10)
The room was very clean with a kitchenette area but note without the cooker/stove. It does have a small fridge and microwave and a kettle of some sorts. The location was perfect for us. The two mosques, Topkapi Place and the Tram station where all very close to us by walk. Tons of restaurants and shops just a minute walk away. You can get to the Grand Bazaar by using the tram (a couple of stops) but we walked it and it was less than half hour away (for most folk I would say 40mins). The trams are inexpensive and are pretty good when not busy! Dont get distracted and be aware of your belongings especially when busy. The host was exceptional with advice and was easy to reach via whats app! If there was a negative then the bathroom could do with a little bit of updating but having said that the bathroom was clean and towels provided were fresh thus I haven't added this to the comments section hereunder.
