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.

Loved Hotel Empress Zoe, the staff and the location! Great views and walkable to many must see sights.

Charming, lack of an elevator means it’s not for everyone. Amazing staff, the penthouse suite on the roof is one of a kind

The hotel was exceptional and close to all of the sites. 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.

6/10 Good

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.

10/10 Exceptional

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.
