Apple Tree Hotel offers 19 individually decorated guestrooms with air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and minibars. Some rooms include sea views, seating areas, and electric kettles. Private bathrooms come with showers, complimentary toiletries, and hair dryers. Soundproofed rooms ensure quiet stays.

Dining on the Terrace

Guests can start the day with an open buffet breakfast on the terrace, featuring views of the Marmara Sea and Princes' Islands. Daily coffee and tea service is also available on the terrace. The hotel has a buffet restaurant serving local and international dishes.

Bikes and Rooftop Access

The hotel provides bicycles for rent, ideal for exploring the area. A rooftop terrace offers panoramic views of Istanbul. Satellite programming is available in rooms for entertainment.

Central Fatih Location

Apple Tree Hotel is in the Sultanahmet area, a 4-minute walk from Sultanahmet Square and 700 meters from the Basilica Cistern. Nearby landmarks include the Hippodrome, Topkapi Palace (1 km), and Little Hagia Sophia (0.5 km). The beach is within walking distance.

Shuttle and Front Desk

The hotel offers a roundtrip airport shuttle to Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen International Airport, 45 km away. A 24-hour front desk, complimentary newspapers, and dry cleaning services are available. Free WiFi covers the entire property.

“Apple Tree Hotel's location places you directly in the heart of Sultanahmet, steps from the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. The rooftop breakfast terrace, a genuine highlight, provides views of the Marmara Sea, not often found in similar hotels. While street-facing rooms may carry the city's vibrant sounds, the personalized service and local insights more than compensate, making it a family-friendly base for exploring Istanbul's historic core.”

The hotel is near key monuments. It is a few steps away from major sights. The rooms are super clean. I appreciated the large, clean bathroom. The room rate included a generous breakfast. The staff showed kindness and helpfulness. The location is very good. It is just a few minutes from Sultanahmet and Hagia Sophia. Convenient transportation options are available too. The T1 tram line is nearby with Sultanahmet as the closest stop. I appreciated the breakfast options. There were plenty of choices available. Staff at the front desk speak good English. I found them very polite.
One of my rooms faced the roof, I could smell smoke.

The staff at the reception were very nice. I arrived early, and they allowed me to check in before the standard time. Breakfast offered a diverse and tasty selection.
The locking mechanism for the front door did not function well. The keycard entry often got stuck when trying to open it. The toilet door seemed faulty as water leaked out during showers since there was no proper seal.
