Ahmet Efendi Evi  

Nice cozy place. I recommend it for someone who is looking for a lot of advice on what to do locally. The owner is lovely and incredibly helpfull.

Staff could be seen as a bit too helpful I you really want to do your own thing and aren't interested in someone's recommendations.

I rarely write reviews, but this hotel (more like an inn or b&b) is worth the time. My wife and I have traveled the globe, but this hotel stands up above the rest as the most hospitable place we have ever stayed. The owner Medhi is extremely welcoming and courteous and Yusuf, who manages the day-to-day is the kindest and most helpful person. The inn is located on a quiet street in the main 'tourist' district, although it feels like a world away from the busloads of people who descend upon the area each day. The breakfast is delicious and fresh and Yusuf teaches you how to make the most delicious bread dip (tastes like refined peanut butter and jellly!). The beds were super comfortable, especially after long days of walking around Istanbul. The bathrooms were clean, the rooms were spacious and we felt extremely safe. We only spent 5 nights, but wish we could have stayed longer! Thank you again for a wonderful stay!!

The hotel manager gave good advice about restaurants and places to visit.

It is a little bit farther from the tram stop than other hotels. You have to walk a bit farther. However, once you are there you will appreciate the super old world feel of the street. It isn't a sterile tourist street like the one parallel. It isn't really a negative, it just means you have to walk another 100 meters.

Firmly renovated old ottoman house with beautiful decoration. Confortable rooms, friendly staff. Fluently speaking Turkish, English and French. Good breakfast, unlimited tea and coffee. Very well located and few minutes to walk to historical peninsula. I highly recommend to all.

No smoking :)

The staff and owners are warm and wonderful. The location is great, it's clean, quiet and relaxing. I booked one night and stayed 5 extra nights.

A very warm and personal welcome. All the rooms were clean and comfortable. Everyone was outstandingly friendly and helpful throughout our stay and really put themselves out with practical advice, including new year's eve restaurant and taxi bookings at short notice.

very friendly and helpful staff, good local breakfast

The hotel has a very good position, not more than 5 minutes walking to Sultanahmet. It is very comfortable, the rooms are very clean. The hotel has a very good position, not more than 5 minutes walking to Sultanahmet.It is very comfortable and the rooms are very clean; towels are changed every day.What is very important is that the staff is great and they speak very well English. When you arrive they will present you a little bit the city and where it is ok to go and you can ask them for help whenever you need.The breakfast is basic, the same every day but you can find something to eat.I Can say that you will feel like in a family.The hotel is very nice decorated and even the smell will introduce you in the atmosphere of Istanbul.I Would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone.

The bathroom is very small and if you want to take a shower the entire floor will be full of water because the shower cabin it's closed only with a curtain.

The staff was really decent and generous. I felt at home very much. The room was completely clean. The location was within a 5-10 minutes walk distance from the blue mosque and a train station. The circumstance was quiet because few tourists were walking around.

I could not use the wireless LAN at the 2nd floor (European "2nd" floor).

All! Very good!!

The staff was very helpful and friendly. The location is also very central, close to all the historic sights and touristic shopping venues. All in all, I'd definitely recommend this hotel as a quiet, comfortable and cozy experience.

The staff of the B&B are the warmest, most helpful people imaginable and made our experience most enjoyable. I recommend this hotel 100%
