In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
3 reasons to book- Prime Sultanahmet location — Apex Hotel sits in the Old City, a 5-minute walk from the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. Most major sights are within easy reach on foot.
- Helpful, round-the-clock staff — Guests repeatedly praise the team for going out of their way – carrying luggage, storing excess bags, and offering directions. A 24-hour reception means assistance at any hour.
- Rooftop terrace with views — Breakfast and relaxation happen on the rooftop, with views that take in the Blue Mosque. It's a quiet spot to start or end the day.
–
Worth weighing
2 to weigh- Simple breakfast — Several guests found the breakfast basic – not bad, but unremarkable. The rooftop setting compensates, and the area is full of affordable eateries.
- Hotel can be tricky to find first time — Located on a small side street, first-time visitors may need to ask for directions. The area is dense with hotels, so help is easy to come by.

First-timers might struggle to find it, but the area is full of hotels and locals can point you the way. Staff were very helpful, even carrying my bags. Rooms were clean and had everything needed.
