This is one of the nicest hotels I have ever stayed in. We were there for 8 nights. I HIGHLY recommend that you stay there. Even if you feel it might stretch your budget a little, it is well worth the cost. The service was excellent, the room delightful and everything in the hotel was well maintained and very clean....

This small hotel is in the perfect location. We could sit on the rooftop restaurant for breakfast with Hagia Sophia and the Bosporus in the background. Very close to tram, main sites and restaurants . Hotel staff are extremely helpful. The welcome greeting to the hotel was lovely and gifts when we left too! The rooms were small but very... More

From the wonderful and truly competent staff to the extraordinary sleeping accommodations - we found this White House experience to be one of the best hotels where we have stayed in all of Europe. The breakfast bar was varied and bountiful and the wait staff was friendly and attentive. The luggage porters and front desk staff were also beyond words.... More

Great hotel in a truly great city. professional, undesrtanding and accomodating staff. WIll definitely stay here when I next visit Istanbul. Excellent service. The location was very central within easy walking distance of the main tourist attractions and places of interest. Very convenient for shopping and culture-something special for everyone!

This positive reviews are accurate. I normally like to stay at big chain hotels but did not find one in Istanbul with convenient location. Chose this hotel based on previous reviews. Hotel is in the old town (Sultanhemet) area. A couple of minutes from the blue mosque and tram station (Sultanhemet). Easy access to airport by tram with one change... More

Had a wonderful stay in this hotel. Location is perfect. The staff was extremely accommodating. We had a very early departure and they helped us with breakfast and ensuring we met our taxi. Hotel is clean and walking distance to the best attractions and public transportation.

The great reviews this lovely small hotel receives are totally justified. The warm, friendly welcome, the efficient service, the lovely rooftop terrace for the comprehensive breakfast make this the perfect city hotel, with great views of the city. The experience is so different from the impersonal, unwelcoming large hotels in most cities. From beginning to end this hotel provided us... More

The location of this hotel is absolutely fantastic. You are a short (5 min) picturesque / restaurant lined walk away from the Blue Mosque. The breakfast is provided on the rooftop and is more than enough to keep you going throughout the day. The rooms are quite small and there was no iron (a personal gripe) but I think it... More
