A small hotel with fantastic views of Aya Sophia and the Blue Mosque. It is across the street from the Cistern and around the corner from the Tram and many restaurants. Most of the major tourist sights are within easy walking distance and a park is being built directly in front of the hotel. The staff is wonderful and very helpful. The buffet breakfast is more than adequate in a city filled with great food. Recently, remodeled, the rooms are clean and modern. All the rooms at the front of the hotel face the Aya Sophia and some have balconies. The night-time view of the Aya Sophia is breath-taking. The location of the AND Hotel and the friendly, efficient staff are reason to return.
The AND hotel is located just around the corner of the Blue Mosque, nevertheless quiet enough. The beds are very good and the rooms are clean. The staff is very friendly and willing to help: almost everything is possible (although not all of them speak sufficient english). The hotel has free wifi. I think the hotel offers good value for money: we (me and my two sons of 13 and 14 years old) payed EUR 140 per night for a 3-bed room. The only negative point: the quality of the breakfast buffet is included but only sort of ok (but good enough to survive). If I go to Istanbul again, I would certainly stay here again.

The AND Hotel in Istanbul was fabulous, the location was perfect for exploring the city and its sights. The rooms were small but really nice linens and a great view out our window out to the Aya Sophia, very quiet for a big city, staff very helpful and friendly and most important for us was the safety of our motorcycle which we got to park in front of the hotel but out of sight. The Turkish bath we had behind the Blue Mosque was great, the Whirling Dervishes we saw at the Cultural Center was great too and its right across the road from the Sisterns a must see, 5min walk to the Blue Mosque and Aya Sophia great restaurants and shopping, perfect spot!

I travel to Istanbul at least twice a year. Since I discovered the AND Hotel, I don't stay anywhere else. This hotel does feel like home, the staff are very welcoming and friendly. The rooms are lovely and clean. The location and view simply cannot be beat. Sitting on the balcony of the restaurant during call to prayer is a highlight of any trip to Istanbul. You can see the Bosphorus, the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque at once. The call to prayer seems to begin at the Blue Mosque with other voices from the rest of the mosques joining in. It transports you. I would an frequently do recommend this hotel to anyone.

AND-Hotel is located with direct view to Hagia Sophia, just around the corner is the Blue Mosque, nevertheless very quiet. The beds are very good and the rooms are clean. The staff is very friendly and willing to help. If you get no room, try the restaurant with its wunderful roundview. The hotel has free wifi. I think the hotel offers good value for money. Quality of the breakfast-buffet is only 3 stars, but outstand good for turkey. If I go to Istanbul again, I would certainly stay here again.

This is our 6th time staying at The And Hotel and we are always happy to come back. The hotel is getting more nicer every time we come. The staffs are very nice, the food is very good. Splendid location just a short walking distance from The Hagia Sopia, The Blue Mosque, The Cistern and several other important historical sites. Also just a walking distant to the Grand Bazar. Nice view of The Golden Horn from the restaurant on the 6th floor.

I stayed here at the start and end of a tour. The staff and friendly and helpful. The rooms are of a good size, however the bathrooms were a little small for my liking. Excellent location just across the road form Aya Sofia. There is an empty lot next door, and I would imagine that the views of Aya Sofia will be blocked with the site is developed. Decent turkish breakfast with some cereals to choose from also.

And Hotel is a great choice for everybody who wants to stay in Sultanhamet and enjoy the closeness of all main historical sites of Istanbul. I was there with my girlfriend in August and had an amazing room with balcony overlooking the hagia sophia and the blue mosque! The rooms are recently renovated and fully equipped with everything you may need. The staff is nice and quite friendly so as the breakfast is ok. I will definitely go back there.

This hotel is the perfect location to be for seeing all the sites, just steps from the Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque. the Topkapi Palace and the cistern and right on the tram line. The rooms are small but very nice, and with views of Hagia Sophia. The staff is really attentive. The rooftop restaurant excellent and main floor cafe good for breakfast. Perfect for singles, families and couples.
