I really liked staying there. Rooms are small, but it is clearly stated in the reservation.

Location, cleaness and staff

Stayed in March 2024

My recent stay at this Istanbul hotel surpassed all expectations for a mid-range accommodation in Turkey. The service was impeccable, with the check-in desk open for late arrivals and the rooms equipped with all necessities, from slippers to toiletries. The breakfast was a step above the typical Turkish fare, featuring fresh pastries and a whole honeycomb. Upon check-out, the staff surprised me with a small branded gift—a sweet touch that ensured I'll be returning to this exceptional hotel again:) Highly recommended for stay in the city center of Istanbul.

The shower head was broken, not able to be secured. The walls are also quite thin so you can hear the snoring next door.

The biggest highlight was the staff. The gentlemen at the front desk were always so friendly, kind and helpful. My biggest thanks and gratitude to each of them.

Everything was fine, I don't have reclamations to make. The elevator is kinda small, but it still is helpful nonetheless.

I loved how friendly the staff was and how helpful they were. The food was very good and everything was clean and tidy. It was amazing and I whole heartidly recommend this hotel.

Some things in the room were slightly old or didn't work, like the minibar.

The breakfast was great, a large variety, and the staff was always friendly and willing to help.

Rooms are small, low pressure in the shower.

The staff was super friendly and helpful. In fact this was the biggest plus of the hotel, so if I had to rate the hotel based on the staff I would give them a 10+. Located quite close to Hagia Sofia and Topkapi Palace is another plus. Great price based on the location too.

Nothing to complain.

Excellent location, excellent services. I will definitely choose Black Tulip again if I return to Istanbul.

There were no issues for us.

The hotel is located in the heart of the historic center, many sightseeing places are in walking distance. It’s a lively neighborhood but far from the traffic, so no car sounds (there’s only a tramway nearby). The hotel is cozy inside, breakfasts are nice, staff is extremely friendly and helpful.

Not enough pillows in room

Breakfast was standard Turkish breakfast but plenty of it. Staff always welcomed us whenever we returned from our outings. Very helpful reception staff day and night. Hotel itself was in an area I like, not far from main attractions. The staff went above and beyond for us when we left our baklava at a shop , they went to get it after we had left and allowed me to arrange collection of it by family. Very trustworthy staff. Cleanliness is top notch. Can’t hear the tram much at night which was good. Connecting family rooms were really good, enough space for family of 4.

There is nothing that I did not like.

Breakfast was amazing. It’s located at the center of what we wanted to experience.

Our room was at the 4th floor and the elevator is super small (barely fitting 2 people without suitcases). We always took the stairs and this was not a problem for us.

We really enjoyed our stay, the hotel is located centrally, walking distance to Basilica Cisterna, Blue Mosque or even Grand Bazaar. The room was cosy, but perfect for what we needed. Breakfast was varied and plentiful, mostly with Turkish items. There is a nearby mosque from which you could hear the prayer calls. Staff was helpful and even surprised us with a delicious cake for my husband’s birthday. Upon checkout they offered a small Istanbul souvenir as well.

The room toilet is very small.

The location is great, nearby cafes, restaurants, metro stations, Egyptian market.. I liked the balcony in the room. The breakfast was good comparing to the size of hetel. The bed and pillows were comfortable.

That I can't give them more stars ⭐⭐⭐

This hotel is the best place, that I know. We booked excellent family room, with great location in the city centre and so nice staff. The hotel management made surprise for my birthday by bringing a cake in my room 🍰 And also helped me with my transfer to the airport. Thank you for everything!

Hotel is walking distance from the restaurants, markets and shops. It is very clean and quiet. Staff is very nice and will go out of the way to help you with any questions or concerns.

Rooms were not soundproofed and thus we could hear other hotel guests coughing or having conversations. Whilst this wasn't too bad for us, it may affect others' decisions regarding this hotel. This is also something to consider if you choose to book a room with a balcony, as there are trams on the main road that go past quite frequently.

My wife and I stayed here for three nights. Immediately upon arriving, the staff were very friendly and welcoming. After checking in, they also let us know that we could book activities (boat ride, tours etc.) through the front desk - which we ended up doing. We hadn't booked some activities prior to arriving as they were vastly more expensive online. However if you book through the front desk you are often provided a much better rate, including transportation to/from said activity. Bear in mind that when booking activities this way, you are given the option to pay in either Euros or Turkish Liras. The hotel also has a money exchange counter which was super helpful, providing very good (but not the best) rates. Both the room and bathroom were really clean, with bottles of water provided as standard. Breakfast was provided and slightly varied every day. On our final night, we were also provided with complimentary plate of fruit. The hotel is situated in the perfect location (for us at least) as we were one minute away form a tram stop and had various markets and numerous cafes/restaurants within a minute's walk. It is also located within walking distance to Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and Topkapi palace.

Fantastic location, a few minutes away from Sultanahmet Square. The room was small but confortable, nice bed, everything was clean. It was quiet, we could hear the rumbling of passing trams during the day but it did not bother us at night. Excellent breakfast, with different options each day. All staff members were polite and helpful. We forgot a pair of sunglasses after checking out and they texted me when they found them. We arranged private transfer to Istambul Airport, and the service was great (although expensive). Would love to go back next time.
