This is the third set of places to stay around the Sultanahmet tram stop. Most of them sit south-west of the Hippodrome, in the Küçükayasofya and Binbirdirek lanes, four to ten minutes on foot from the stop.
The list is ordered by that tram walk, shortest first. From here the Blue Mosque is six to twelve minutes, but Hagia Sophia is a longer 12 to 19, so these suit travellers who plan to ride the tram as much as walk.
Be aware that this group is thin on reviews. Only a handful have any guest score, and several of those rest on one or two reviews. Some listings give no address or check-in time. That doesn't make them poor choices, but it does mean you should confirm what you are getting before you arrive. The earlier sets, such as more hotels around the tram, include many better-documented options.

How to choose
For the shortest tram walk, Stone Hotel, Angela Inn, Hotel Arinna, Fides and Gulliver Mansion are four or five minutes from the stop. Fides is the most straightforward of these: a 16-room four-star with family rooms and airport transfers. Hotel Arinna has the most reviews in this set, but its score is low.
If facilities matter, Kupeli Palace has a spa or hammam and Mehmet Bey has a restaurant and 24-hour desk, though both have weak or thin scores. For a self-contained stay, the single apartments such as Wooden Villa, DİVAN34 or AWWA suit couples or small families who are happy to confirm details directly.
If you would rather choose from better-reviewed hotels, see the second set around the tram or three-star hotels near the tram.
