    That I only had a very short stay....

    I cannot say enough good about this beautiful hotel. The owner was gracious to greet me at the front gate at 1 am!! Great room, comfortable bed, great bathroom and shower. Wonderful restaurant, highly recommend this place and its a short walk to bus stops and metro.

    An old historic building with memorable items on display to remind the good old days. It truly gives you a home away from home feeling & experience. The staff are super efficient, friendly and accomodating. Thanks to Vedat and Gulsah, perfect hosts with deep personal touch and care. Will be there again whenever in Istanbul

    Splendid old-style house, that is very well looked after, nicely decorated. It is located in a quiet place, far from the crowds of tourists - that was one of the main factors for my decision to stay there. Nice location to explore the asian side of Istanbul. Beside that it is quite close to a metro and a ferry. Kuzguncuk is accessible by foot. And i can’t but say about the owners and staff - they all are great people, welcoming and helpful, who really create that sort of atmosphere like you are at home. Plus an additional hug goes for that black kitty🤗 ❤️❤️❤️

    Nothing. The beds were pretty hard but that is a personal thing.

    Breakfast was wonderful and plenty. Staff was very friendly. So were the cats! One morning we had to leave early for a tour and they made us a packed breakfast for us to take with us. The option to borrow a local travel card was great too.

    Perfect place for a calm holiday. The garden is just so peaceful and beautiful. Staff are very polite and helpful. Rooms are clean and full of with little details like Turkish Delights etc. You can get a free public transportation card from hotel, which pretty helpful and nice. The best part is that it is a small family hotel and you feel it. Also breakfast is awesome!

    My mother had a B&B in an 1865 house. Ottoman Suites dates from ~1875, and I felt immediately at home. The Sera House Cafe is a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of Istanbul. Location is surprisingly convenient for accessing the rest of the city via bus (12a), ferry, tram, and Marmaray, making it a good base of operations. Gulsah is a gracious host who pays attention to even the smallest details, such as an "emergency box" and a scale next to the front door.

    As it is an old building, you sometimes hear people staying on the upper floor walk but it is not too disturbing.

    It is a beautiful building with a lot of history. As it used to be home to a family, it offers homely environment and warm feeling. Everything seems to be maintained well. It has an amazing garden and its location is great. Even tough it is located on the Asian side, traveling to European side is very easy as it is close to the bridge, seaside, bus stops and boat stations. Friendly staff, lovely cats in the garden and tasty breakfast! Check, check and check..

    My driver and I were very confused by what to do on arrival! But we were quickly met after he spoke to the manager on my phone in Turkish. When I left there were some rather vicious dogs that almost attacked me and the driver, but that is more a city problem and not the hotel’s. I mean they attacked the van! Luckily we were inside and driving away.

    Like visiting a friend’s house.

    The hosts were great, extremely accommodating and very nice in general! They have this great little booklet that explains exactly which bus, train or tram to take to get to all the sights and attractions which was great as we were first time travelers to Istanbul. The rooms were comfortable and the breakfast was big and plentiful.

    Everything is fine, but it could be better if in the restaurant will be somebody speaking English.

    Wonderfull design in the room, everything was very comfortable. My room was at the upper floor, that's why it was very quiet. There is a balcony in the room, that's great plus. But if you have lugguage, it needs to pick up upstairs .

    This place a little bit noisy, you can hear everything in your room, but it's old house, what do you want?))

    It's the beautiful place in the center of the city with beautiful and generous people. They helped us with our "touristic troubles" and in the last day they helped us with the huge taxi. We loved their house, it's a little bit antique and cozy. This place smell like my childhood.
