Berce Hotel  

In one word: Excellent! This small hotel is a gem in the heart of Sultanahmet. Good value for money, so clean that you can feel a nice smell in everywhere, rooms are spacious and nice decorated with confortable beds. The breakfast on the rooftop terrace is a great beggining of day with a nice Bosphorus´s view, good variety and good service. I spent 20 days in Turkey and this was the best hotel that I stayed in, even I have stayed in 5 stars hotels and in another hotel in Sultanahmet. Mehmet Kaya is really doing a great job in front of that beautiful hotel! I would highly recommend this hotel.

I liked: - just one minute to Blue Mosque & Aya Sofia, but still in a quiet corner w/ no street noise (you hear the passing train tough but it does not pass by night so sleep not a problem) - extremely friendly staff, both at reception and ladies making breakfast - cute little breakfast room on the rooftop w terrace and view of Marmara Sea - the best way to start a day

Mehmet was a lovely host! And the laundry service is very efficient! Our room had 3 little balconies which were sweet. The room is spacious. Close to all the sites.

The bathroom was very small and had very suspicious looking black edges around the tub. The hot water is inclement.The beds are really too short even for a 5 foot short person and the breakfast could do with hot eggs rather than cold. I thought perhaps if we arrived early for breakfast we'd get a warm breakfast, but whether 10:30 or 9:15, the eggs were always cold. In comparison to several other boutique hotels I've stayed at, this was very average especially for the price.

very very nice staff , fantastic location in historical centre, nice rooms bigger than usually in istanbul, romantic terrace for breakfast on the roof and balconies (it's good for smokers)

My partner and I stayed at this hotel for a 3 night stay in Istanbul and it fulfilled all our needs perfectly. We were so close to the attractions of the city, but the hotel is down a sweet little road as though you were staying in a village. You barely hear a sound of the city around you. Only exception being from the tannoys from the surrounding mosques at prayer times, but we actually found it quite relaxing! The hotel is clean, rooms are cosy and the staff are very friendly. In particular Mehmet who is extemely attentitive and genuinely seems to care about each of his guests, treating them like friends. Highly recommended and we'll be going back ourselves in the future.

I'm extremely happy that we picked this hotel. It had excellent ratings, and they were well deserved. It is super close to the Blue Mosque but not on a busy street. It was quiet at night when we were sleeping, and the room was clean. The most remarkable part of the stay was the service. I really don't understand how he does it, but Serkan at the front desk seemed to be there 24 hours a day, so there was impeccable continuity in taking care of our needs (though we didn't have any problems that needed to be resolved). He greeted us by name when we came and went, and we enjoyed talking to him about our time in Instanbul. Breakfast was lovingly prepared every morning and the rooftop view of the ocean during breakfast is enough to make you want to live that way forever. I'll note that we stayed at a different more expensive hotel in Taksim square at the beginning of the trip and hated that one so we really appreciated how lucky we were at Berce.

The 3-person room is in the basement, but it also was cheaper and we weren't in the room much in the daytime anyway, so it didn't really matter. I appreciated that the site warned us about that. It is also cooler in the basement.

The rooms were darling, comfortable, and so clean. The breakfast was lovely, and the staff was warm and helpful.

"Cosiness" and "warm hospitality" are words that best describes Berce Hotel. Cosy quiet street, cosy room and pleasant people who make us feel as like we are at home.

All was perfect.

It was hard to find a room for four people in this area, but we managed, thougt room was a bit small. Lot's of thanks for Mehmet, he was very helpfull and nice in organazing everything we asked for.

A great small hotel, no complaints! :-)

This small hotel is very well located on the Sultanamet area of the city, near all the major historical sites. It is on a quiet tiny street. The rooms are comfortable with space for suitcases, nice furniture and carpets, and have tiny balconies. We had a view of the Marmara Sea from our room. There is a lovely glassed in roof top breakfast area with many choices cooked on the premises each day, views of the Blue Mosque and Sea of Marmara, and great honey from the owner's village. The staff, especially Mehmet, is extremely helpful.

Staff were extremely pleasant and professional. A small hotel very well located and accessible to sight seeing attractions along with restaurants.

A relaxing oasis in an amazing, exciting but tremendously busy city. Quality accommodation with well informed and helpful staff - especially Mehmet on reception. Excellent breakfast on roof terrace with spectacular views of Sea of Marmara and the Bosphorus. Pre-dinner evening drinks on the roof terrace where we were able to supply our own drinks - perfect!
