The property runs a full spa and wellness centre, so guests can book a Turkish bath, massage or beauty treatment without leaving the building. Breakfast is served each morning, with tea, bread and local olives among the staples.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Check-in window is after 13:00 — Rooms are available from 13:00 until late evening – no mention of 24-hour check-in, so early arrivals may need to plan.
  • No pets allowed — The property does not accept pets, so travelling with a dog or cat isn't possible here.
  • Breakfast is simple, not a buffet — Guests describe tea, bread, olives and cheese – a light continental spread rather than a full hot breakfast.
  • Some apartments have single beds only — The Ground Floor Apartment and the Apartment come with single beds, so couples may need to book the three-bedroom option for a double.

“Our apartment was clean, comfortable, and had a beautiful panoramic view of the sea and city. The host and his son were incredibly helpful and kind – they let us check in early and upgraded us for free. The location was perfect, within walking distance of attractions, restaurants and shops. The neighbourhood was clean and felt very safe, with a lovely garden nearby. We'd definitely book here again.”

The bottom line

Apart La Mia is a reliable choice for travellers who want the flexibility of self-catering apartments in the heart of historic Istanbul, with the bonus of a full spa on site. The location is hard to beat, and the staff clearly go out of their way for guests. Just be aware of the 13:00 check-in and the lack of pet-friendly rooms.

8.3Best for families, small groups, and anyone who wants a kitchen and a spa near Sultanahmet.
