Having to leave!

We had an excellent stay at Bram. While everything about the hotel (facilities,location, cleanliness, room quality, breakfast, decor) was superb, the best was the hospitality, friendliness and kindness of the owners, Ali and Tarkan. They manage their modern, boutique hotel with great attention to every detail and particularly to their guests. Very, very impressive. I recommend this hotel very highly indeed.

There was absolutely nothing to dislike about this hotel.

Location was excellent and so close to majority of the tourist areas with a quick 5min walk to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia, Basilica Cistern and the Tookapi Palace. The staff (Ali and Tarkan) was exceptional, informative, knowledgeable and attentive. We will definitely return and stay at the Bram Hotel.

The fact that we had to go home. We will miss Bram hotel and Turkey a lot. Perfect holiday!

We had the privilege of staying at Bram Hotel for 7 nights, and from the moment we arrived until the moment we left, we were treated like family by the incredible brothers, Tarkan and Ali. Their hospitality and kindness went far beyond expectations and truly made this one of the best international stays we've ever had. The hotel itself is modern, beautifully maintained, and filled with thoughtful touches. The rooms are soundproofed and equipped with blockout curtains, a very comfortable bed, daily cleaning, and plenty of amenities including a hairdryer, safe, and ample power outlets. Everything was spotless and felt designed with comfort in mind. The rooftop terrace offers a stunning view and is the perfect place to enjoy the generous breakfast or an afternoon coffee and cake—both of which are readily available to enjoy upstairs. What truly sets Bram Hotel apart is the personal attention. Tarkan gave us excellent recommendations tailored to our interests, and even adjusted his suggestions as our trip progressed, helping us make the most of our time in Istanbul. When my husband fell ill, they went out of their way to prepare a special meal just for him and checked in on us regularly with genuine care and concern. Leaving was almost emotional—we felt deeply cared for and incredibly grateful. Tarkan, Ali, and the Bram Hotel team, thank you for your hospitality, your warmth, and your attention to detail. You’ve created something truly special, and we hope to return again one day.

I liked everything truly.

From the first moment I entered I felt at home in a country I had never visited. My whole stay I felt looked after and considered and loved the space itself. Clean and gorgeous views and comfy beds. Fantastic coffee, oj and special breakfasts! I wouldn’t have changed a thing! Thank you so much to Bram Hotel!

Incredibe hospitality!I would never stay anywhere else in Istanbul. The location and breakfast was amazing, the room&the hotel was absolutly clear. Ali and Ercan are perfect hosts.

Stayed in June 2025

Ali and his brother are the perfect hosts and went out of their way to be helpful. The hotel is perfectly situated for visiting the main historic attractions in the city on foot and yet is still quiet (for Istanbul) - we slept very well. The rooms were spotless and the breakfast was delicious (and big!). Very highly recommended.

We had an amazing time at this hotel! The location is perfect - close to major attractions, making it easy to explore the city. The rooftop terrace was a highlight, offering breathtaking views of both the sea and the city - perfect for relaxing evenings. But what truly made our stay special were the hosts! They welcomed us with such warmth and kindness, going above and beyond to ensure our comfort. As a wonderful surprise, they even prepared a birthday cake for me :) We highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a cozy stay with incredible views and heartfelt hospitality. Thank you for making our trip so memorable, we’d love to come back!

Great location. Spotlessly clean. Very helpful and friendly staff - couldn’t do enough for us. They will help with booking visits to the sights, provided a map with places identified.

The best location. Minutes away from the Blue Mosque. I highly recommend this hotel and would stay there again. Owners were great. They made sure we were always comfortable and the breakfast was perfect.

The room was a little small for people.

Breakfast was amazing - nutritious and delicious! Very personal attention from the owners, they offered lots of tips on things to do, were very accommodating to our requests. Very central location, 5 mins from the Sultan Ahmet Square/Blue Mosque.

Breakfast. It isn't buffet style, but having said so, there is variety but it's repetitive. This may be just us and it's not a negative comment!

Hospitality at its best! The brothers Ali and Takran are very attentive and provide you with all the best knowledge of Istanbul. Their attention to detail is admirable. They are very friendly and always smiling. Take all the tips for the travel that they give. Look no further and book your stay here!

Perfect small hotel, great location in heart of old town and the hosts Ali & Tarkan couldn’t do enough for us. Highly recommend.

Everything is perfect.

Ali and Tarkan run the most wonderful hotel – their warmth and hospitality are absolutely unmatched! During our stay, my wife sprained her ankle - but Ali's daily thoughtful check-ins made us feel like family. His genuine care went far beyond regular hospitality. Right now I'd say Bram is Istanbul's top hotel, but by the end of my trip, I might just declare it the best in all of Turkey.
