The Berk is a 2 minute walk between the Blue Mosque and Haga Sophia and the Topkapi Palace yet is on a quiet street opposite The Four Seasons Hotel just a block from the hordes of tourists and hawkers. On the corner nearby is a small grocery store where you can get bottles of water, juice, sodas and snacks not... More

the male staff that comes in at night is the most friendly and genuine. the rest of them feel like they are forced to be friendly because they want to do business with you. rooms are spacious. breakfast is boring. and they dont refill anything that is finished. compared to the rest of the guesthouses i've stayed in, in turkey,...

There's nothing bad to say about this hotel. It is comfortable and clean, the breakfast is typically Turkish and good, the owners and staff are friendly, efficient and helpful and the location 2 minutes walk from the Blue Mosque, and Aya Sphia is ideal. In terms of value for money for staying in the heart of old Istanbul I doubt... More

Perfect and extremely nice and friendly staff in this family owned guest house/hotel. Fine and clean rooms, some with balcony with view (mine was!). Best location ever in Istanbul; very calm but still just 3-5 min walk to the great attractions. We had a wonderfull time in this hotel and can strongly recommend it!

Within 15 minutes of walk, you can reach the main locations like as Spice Bazzar, Grand Bazaar, H.Sofia, Blue Mosque etc.. Very clean and nicely decorated rooms do give you what so ever you need.

This lovely little hotel is perfectly situated in the Sultanahmet district of Istanbul. It is across the road from the Four Seasons Hotel and is a 5 minute walk to Sultanahmet Square. Most of the Ho-Ho buses go from this square and you can easily walk to many of the major sites. The hotel is small and family run. The... More

I quite like the room, a double room on the second floor (no. 42), with a sea view in the distance. It is tastefully decorated, with old, quaint furnitures but full of character and proper floorboards. This 3-story house (once the owner's grandma) has an elevator, and that is convenient. The guesthouse is currently being renovated, and I could see... More

This guesthouse is situated within 5 minutes walking distance to Aya Sofia and Topkapi Palace. The location is truly superb. That's why this guesthouse gets one star. The other star is for one of their employees, named Salih. We were two friends staying for 3 nights at this hotel. We were on a budget and emailed the hotel if they... More
