My wife and I spent our honeymoon in Turkey, as part of which we were in Istanbul for 4 nights. We stayed at the Garden House all four nights and i can vouch for how awesome this hotel is, irrespective of the kind of traveler you are. Tucked away in one of the steep roads in the Sultanahmet area, it... More

The location of this hotel is excellent if you want to be near all the major attractions, but still in a quiet street. We stayed for 7 nights on the the first floor in the low wing of the hotel. The room was nice and big, with a balcony to the street. The bathroom also featured a mini hamam and... More

Recently stayed at the Garden House on a first trip to Istanbul, and would definitely recommend it to anyone! Its excellent location is in a great part of the old city, with winding streets that you can spend all day wandering about, discovering shops and places for Turkish coffee. It is a 5 minute walk to the Blue Mosque and... More

We stayed for four nights. Great location only a couple blocks from the Blue Mosque and tram line that will take you anywhere in Istanbul you'd want to go. Small but immaculate room, amazing breakfast with tons of choices, and wonderful staff. There's a great little sunroom and garden that has free tea, coffee, cookies, and cake. Only drawback is...

Lovely tranquil hotel, near enough to the hippodrome and other key attractions in Old Istanbul. Very friendly, helpful & polite staff. Afternoon tea is a nice touch plus other freebies such as water and wine tastings on Friday & Saturday evenings. Great breakfast too - the banana smoothies are excellent!

We spent five nights in February. This was our first time in Istanbul and we knew we wanted to stay in Sultanahmet and chose Garden House based on reviews and availability. It's an excellent choice.
