Their breakfast was delicious and pretty. I love that. The behavior of the staff was so nice and friendly. Also, the place was so close to the historical places as you must stand in the queue to visit every place so it worth to near that. Also, you would not have lots of challenges to use public transportation.

Everything was really great, staff is very helpful to the extent that I felt I'm staying in with the nice part of my family in a cozy vacation! Breakfast is amazing! We took the penthouse and it had great views, the jacuzzi worked really well too. We even ordered a takeaway and we had to use their personal phone for the delivery app, they were very supportive! Simply ask them for anything and they'll support, food, activities, where to go and they'll help as much as they can.

Incredible hospitality by the staff at Hotel Poem! It was our first time visiting Istanbul for a wedding, the staff were incredibly helpful, accommodating and so friendly! We were upgraded on the first night of our stay in the penthouse suite, the room was clean and had a beautiful view overlooking the Bosphorus River. Also, the Turkish breakfast served every morning was hit with my wife and I. The food was fresh, the spreads were all so delicious and they treated us like family. We would definitely come back and stay at this lovely boutique hotel. Thank you the team at Hotel Poem, you have all mastered the art of hosting and hospitality for your guests!! :) Side note - only regret is that we didn’t get to stay longer!
