The hotel had large and clean rooms with a Kingsize bed and fast wifi, but lacked soundproofing. The breakfast was fantastic with a diverse selection of food. The location was excellent, near major attractions in Sultanahmet. However, the soundproofing was an issue in the room.

My stay at Byzantium Comfort was quite refreshing, especially for August in Istanbul. The location was very central, making it easy to reach top attractions like Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque on foot. The service exceeded my expectations, with extremely friendly and helpful staff, particularly Sengul who made sure everything was just right. The dining experience was delightful, with a varied menu and a super friendly manager, Erhan, who went out of his way to accommodate our requests. Although the rooms were fresh and clean, being near the staff area at the back could be a minor inconvenience. Overall, a great value for money with exceptional service.

My stay at the hotel had some highs and lows. The rooms needed maintenance and better cleaning, and the breakfast was quite plain, missing some expected items. However, the overall value for money was decent, though the room felt cramped with the baby cot. The rooms were not up to the standard shown in photos when booking.
