The front desk team was friendly and hospitable offering us tea or coffee at arrival and departure. They even escorted us to our airport ride outside and gave a nice parting gift. The room was decorated nicely with Turkish accents. The bed was comfortable, room was quiet and cool. The sights are a block away, easy to get to. Many, many restaurants nearby.

Hagia Sophia
In 537 AD, Hagia Sophia began life as a church, before becoming an Ottoman mosque in 1453. The largest cathedral in the world for almost a thousand years, this majestic building is considered one of the finest surviving examples of Byzantine architecture. Today, you can go inside and explore both the colossal structure as well as its museum.

Insanely long lines deterred us, although you can take great shot elsewhere. Whether you are a man or woman, you need to cover up. Ladies with shawl, long sleeves, and down to ankles. Men with pants and at least a t-shirt (no tank tops). Otherwise, no entry.

Once the seat of Christianity under Constantine the Great where Istanbul's original name came from (Constantinople) Still a very spiritual place where Christianity and Islam combine Worth a visit but go early many, many want to go. Take your time and view the murials on the upper floor

Westerners are not allowed on the ground floor like the blue mosque. The mosque should be a place of multi religions as let's face it, it was a church first. All should be allowed everywhere as long as prayers are respected.

Hagia Sophia itself is impressive, I certainly wouldn't recommend the so-called "museum," which is ridiculously overpriced and basically just a long, ridiculous video in a bunch of different rooms, played at the volume of a rock concert. Go watch a documentary. You'll learn a lot more.

They turned this museum into a mosque under Erdogan.
They turned this museum into a mosque under Erdogan. It has been a museum for almost 100 years, but now it is a mosque and you are not allowed to go and explore the place inside, but are confined to a small space at the ground floor of the building. Very, very sad!!

There are many many well dressed VERY friendly and helpful men willing to show you around, avoid them, do not talk to them! They are all trying to sell you something. They can get aggressive if you engage them and the try to leave, best to avoid them and keep walking.

The hotel is a 3 minute walk from the Hagia Sophia mosque and all the other major attractions in Istanbul. So, the location is perfect. The hotel staff and owners are great, and willing to help with anything. The value of the hotel was very good. The breakfast was very good and filling as well. I'd easily stay here again if I came to Istanbul.
The location is excellent. 5 mins walk to Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. There are many eateries around the hotel. The staffs are very helpful. The rooms are extremely clean including linens
The White House Hotel exceeded our expectations in every way possible. The staff were very friendly and the hotel itself was beautiful. What made the experience, however, was the rooftop. There is an amazing view of the Hagia Sophia. We woke up before sunrise and watched the sun come up from behind the mosque and it was beyond beautiful. The hotel is also just a few minutes away walking from many great areas to visit. Shout out to Kemal who offered great service.
An absolutely wonderful hotel. The room was wonderful and spacious. The bed was comfortable. The restaurant good and the views can’t be beat. Did I mention that breakfast is served with views of the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque? And the final … the staff within the entire hotel is top notch. I can’t wait to come back again!!!
The hotel is gorgeous. The only real downfall is location as it is a little further from Grand Bazar or Hagia Sophia and makes walking unreasonable. Taxis were always available when needed.
The location is unbeatable! It's behind Hagia Sophia and Topkapi palace! It's a great place, with the most loveliest staff, warm, helpful and respectful. It is not a five start hotel, but it is great value for your money given the location, I would highly recommend this place. My favorite was the bed, it reminded me of my bed at home, so I got some good night rest after exploring Istanbul.
We loved the hotel location excellent near to Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. The breakfast very delicious many items to choose from eggs made to order. The staff friendly attentive and always very polite. The owners are outstanding and helpful. The rooms are modern and comfortable very nice. Highly recommended! We will for sure come back to this hotel.
The staff was really great specially Yaseen.
I stayed in the hotel for 5 nights and had no issue at all. Breakfast was great that starts from 7 30am till 10 30am.
The location was superb in the heart of Sultanahmet with Hagia Sophia and blue mosque on a 10 minutes walk distance.
We stayed at this hotel for 8 nights and had a wonderful experience. The location is fantastic, just a 5-10 minute walk to Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, the Basilica Cistern, and the nearest tram station. The breakfast provided was quite good, and there are many excellent restaurants nearby. The hotel staff are excellent. The hotel also offers airport shuttle services for a fee and provides helpful information on various tour companies offering different excursions in and around Istanbul.
Everything was awesome, especially the location of this hotel, the manager, and the guys at the reception. Everyone, including the cleaning lady, was so friendly and helpful. It felt like a family, and they were always ready to solve any problems we had during our stay. I highly recommend this place to anyone traveling to Istanbul. You can find lots of shops and restaurants just a short walk away. Topkapi, Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern, Blue Mosque, Grand Bazaar, and Spice Bazaar are all within a 10-20 minute walk.
