Guest Reviews
- Yori-K (10/5): -
- Éric (9/5): Que du bonheur, Dogan le patron et Gülizar sont totalement professionnels. Les appartements comportent tout le confort. -
- Иракли Сирбиладзе (10/5): - Персонал был приветлив и очень любезен. На каждую просьбу отзывались моментально, чувствовался прямо домашний уют и забота. Расположение просто идеальное, мало того, что находится в центре туристической зоны, так ещë и сам отель расположен на очень тихой улице и при этом из окна прекрасный вид на мраморное море! И через дорогу есть магазинчик в котором можно купить снеки и воду. Очень рекомендую! Всë понравилось.
- Иракли Сирбиладзе (10/5): -
- Jackeline (10/5): Amazing location and views. -
- HotDog71 (9/5): Lovely and close - Dugan was an exceptional host, the place is lovely and very convienient for visiting tourist sites! Very much recommend Nothing
- Bouker (9/5): -
- Anastasia (10/5): Wonderful, clean and spacious room - The room was very large. Even though it is technically one room since there is no door, it is essentially two rooms. We had 3 adults and there was plenty of space for our stuff. There was little to no street noise and the staff was very friendly. Not an issue but something to note is there is not a 24 hr concierge. Also the property likely wouldn’t be suitable for people with knee issues or the elderly because the stairs are pretty steep.
- Yvan (7/5): Excellent - Excellemment situé et terrasse masterclass pour la vue Un petit déjeuner pourrait être proposé
- David (8/5): Great host, comfortable and roomy, perfect location - Wonderful, helpful hosts If you have any physical difficulties, give the upper floors a miss. The stairs are quite challenging.
- Guillermo (4/5): Pésimo servicio! - Lo único bueno la ubicacion Pesimo servicio, los radiadores no calentaban la habitacion. Toallones con agujeros, basura de huespedes anteriores en los cajones.
- Margot (9/5): Wir haben es sehr genossen in dem sympathischen Guesthouse - Lage und Aussicht sind unübertrefflich! - Super Lage, tolle Aussicht von Zimmer (4.Stock) und Frühstücksraum aus. Zweckmässig eingerichtetes Zimmer, sehr sauber und modern. Einziges Problem: kein Lift im Haus. Man muss das Gepäck eine steile und enge Wendeltreppe hochtragen. Das Personal ist aber sehr behilflich.
- Joseph (9/5): -
- Martina (10/5): -
- Dmitry (9/5): Very nice, but not perfect - Location and staff were 10/10. Breakfasts were 9/10, prize was 8/10. I thought the bed would be a bit bigger, and hot water did not last very long in the shower.
- Monia (8/5): - La posizione è comodissima per raggiungere a piedi le principali attrazioni. Tanti locali e negozi intorno. Bella terrazza che da sulla Moschea blu w sul bosforo. Personale gentile. Non c'è l'ascensore e le scale sono un po strette.
- Michael (9/5): Sehr gute Lage! - Freundliche Leute. Tolle Lage, sehr zentral und nachts ziemlich ruhig. Frühstück auf der Dachterrasse (wird vor Ort zubereitet). Man hat morgens beim Sonnenaufgang einen fantastischen Blick auf die Hagia Sophia (im Sonnenlicht). Bei meinem Zimemr (Familienzimmer) war der Ventilator gleich beim Fenster. Es war aber ein sehr grosses Zimmer (eher eine kleine Wohnung) mit 5 Betten. Man kann also auch ein ruhigeres Bett wählen.
- Angelika (10/5): -
- Javier (9/5): - Excellent location, excellent staff service, and great dedication at breakfast. Highly recommended
- TESHOME (10/5): A gem guesthouse where you can stay quitely. Staff cares about their guests and provides a helpful information when aske - Amazing and kind owners. Their hospitality has been a top notch. A service above and beyond, exceeded our expectations. Very clean rooms and excellent breakfast was a plus. A walking distance from the main historic sites in Sultanahmet. None
- Emili (10/5): Nos hicieron sentir como en casa. - Nos gustó mucho el trato humano.
Su ubicación es fantástica.
La habitación muy cómoda. Las escaleras un poco empinadas, pero nada pueden hacer.
- Natasha (8/5): Great apartment, excellent location, very comfortable! - This was a fabulous apartment suitable for my husband and I along with our teenage son. With beds at both ends of the apartment, it meant everyone had their own space. It is in a great location, minutes walk to main attractions such as Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia and Basilica Cistern. We enjoyed the nice breakfast each morning on the top floor, it comes with an incredible view! There were power cuts a couple of times in the evening but this was not the hosts fault, the whole street was out! Steep, narrow steps up to the top floor, but we were made aware of this beforehand so wasn't a problem for us at all, but might be unsuitable for some
- Abdulraheem (10/5): Exceptional -
- Erum (9/5): Superb - Great location, and a very cool breakfast location on the very top of the building, with fantastic views all over Istanbul. The apartments can only be reached via steep steps - charming, in our view. The two areas of the family apartment are comfortable and well furnished - beds very comfortable. As in most European places, the bathrooms are not vented, therefore greeting us with a musty smell on arrival and fogging up within 30 seconds of a shower. This seems to be a widespread engineering problem well beyond Istanbul - but unpleasant nonetheless.
- Nalen (9/5): Superb -
- Bronwyn (10/5): Exceptional -
- Xavier (10/5): Exceptional - Great location near Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi... Staff is amazingly kind and helpful. Rooms are comfortable, great value for money.
- Emma (10/5): Perfect highly recommend - The accommodation was perfect for our family of 4. The location was amazing so central. The blue mosque just a 5 minute walk. The views at breakfast stunning. The staff kind and welcoming. It was just great. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. Nothing
- Alexander (10/5): Great and cozy place in the very center of the city - This is a very small hotel - 4 apartments - each on a separate floor. There is a rather steep staircase, but with railings. Excellent location, hospitable hosts, good Wi-Fi, good equipment. It is very close to the sights. Breakfast is delicious, varied and filling, but it is not a buffet. I think that if you have an allergy to something, you should say so that a dish is not prepared that is not suitable for you.
The rooms are quite quiet (I mean, the noise from the street didn't bother us. Since we were the only permanent residents, I can't say anything about the soundproofing between the apartments). The remark does not apply directly to the hotel. Since this place is in the very center, the prices, for example, in the cafe are very high, way higher than in the neighboring districts (probably several times). And very annoying barkers.
- Sarah (9/5): Sensational view from the top floor!! - Melih was an amazing host. Very friendly and helpful.
The room had the most amazing view (top floor) and was very comfortable. The four flights of stairs were difficult (but certainly good for exercise and to walk off all that food!)
The accommodation was right in the centre of the old town only a short walk from the Hagia Sophia.
- Barbara (9/5): The apartment was clean and comfortable, the staff was kind and helpful. - The staff was very helpful and kind. The location is excellent, just a few minutes from Hagia Sophia. The apartment was very clean, and the beds were comfortable. We received fresh towels every day. On our last morning, we had to depart very early, and the staff kindly provided us with pastries the day before so we would have something to eat. Overall, a very friendly and accommodating team. We stayed in an apartment on the third floor. The building doesn’t have an elevator, and the staircase is very narrow, but they informed us about this after booking, which I appreciated.
- Matt (9/5): Stay here - It was in the heart of Istanbul. Very, very close to everything you would want to walk to. There wasn’t anything I didn’t like, but if a person had issues walking up a spiral staircase, that could be an issue. Very simple. Quaint.
- Elia (8/5): Comfortable guesthouse at a really great location. Very hospitable staff. Thank you very much - Very hospitable staff, great location, calm and close to the mail city sightseeings.
- Fasahat (9/5): Superb -
- Subhabrata (9/5): Superb -
- Helmar (10/5): We would like to come again. - The view from the breakfast area is incredible.
- Chingiz (10/5): Exceptional -
- Noreen (9/5): Superb -
- Sitisarah (8/5): Very good -
- Alison (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent stay.
- Amy (10/5): Fantastic location, comfortable and clean accommodation - The guesthouse is in a great location- the main sights of Sultanahmet and many restaurants within short walking distance. Substantial breakfast with amazing views! Lovely clean, warm room with nice bathroom facilities.
- Edit (10/5): Perfect for couples for 4 days - Perfect location, near to main attractions. Everything in walking distance. Beutiful view from Roof Terrace. Nice breakfast. Friendly stuff.
- Janet (9/5): Wonderful, friendly guesthouse in the heart of the Old Town. Highly recommend! - Perfect location near the Blue Mosque. Friendly family run, excellent breakfast. Loved the rooftop.
- Matthew (10/5): Great stay and an excellent location to explore Istanbul from. - Great location and a small rooftop terrace with fantastic views. The stairs are steep and narrow. Just worth bearing in mind.
- Xihui (9/5): Superb - The great location and relative quietness
- Zara (10/5): Wonderful stay in a perfect location with lovely staff. Very clean and comfortable. - The location is fantastic. Lovely to have a nice breakfast included. Lovely, friendly staff. Very clean.. Fantastic views of the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia from the rooftop. Everything great, but you have to be careful on the spiral staircase as no lift. Not a problem for us. If you're aware, no issue.
- Paul (9/5): Superb -
- Anwesha (9/5): Superb - We stayed in room number 3. The hosts are very hospitable. The main bed was a bit small for us but for the rest the apartment was very nicely maintained. The views were great and the breakfast was plenty.
- Yik (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent location, very helpful staff, great breakfast, and breathtaking view.
- Jean (10/5): Exceptional - All the staff was very kind and helpful…
- Camelia (9/5): Great Experience! - The location was innthe heart of Istanbul and tge staff was extremely friendly! The breakfast
- Jiří (9/5): We enjoyed it a lot! - Don't be fooled by the rustic look of the building from the outside! Nice, yet unobtrusive staff made everything fluent and easy. Beautiful view from the roof-top terrace. Perfect location for night walks between amazingly lit palaces. No lift and very steep stairway (not recommended for less active/old people).
- Hannah (9/5): Superb - All the staff were very friendly. The room was spacious and very clean. The breakfast was large and freshly made.
- Tariq (9/5): Superb -
- Richard (10/5): A wonderful intimate experience in the heart of Istanbul old city - Such a great stay. Amazing value for the heart of Sultanahmet. The room and breakfast area had absolutely outstanding views, and there is the most spectacular rooftop terrace with panoramic views of Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque and the Bosphoros. Lovely breakfast, staff and very comfortable room. Admittedly an early wake up with the morning call to prayer, but surely that’s part of the experience!
- Thomas (10/5): Exceptional - Wonderful location, extremely helpful staff, excellent breakfast. Would definitely stay here again!
- Candido (8/5): Very good - Staff was very helpful and the location is superb No elevator
- Makoto (9/5): Superb -
- Adeel (10/5): Great location - Great location and very helpful and friendly staff.
- Kelly (9/5): Superb -
- Arul (10/5): Don't think of booking anything else in Sultanahmet - Melih and his brother were super super helpful. Great people.
Location was outstanding, barely metres from Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia.
The view from the top floor room has a nice sea view, but from the terrace where breakfast is served is even better. No dislike as such. But do note the guesthouse does not have a lift and our room was on the 3rd floor.
- Pinar (10/5): Exceptional -
- Gerhard (10/5): Amazing - It was a great experience overall and definitely one of the best places I have stayed during my travels. Great people with great value for money!
- Dennis (9/5): Superb -
- Magnolia (6/5): Pleasant -
- Zuu (10/5): Beautiful apartments in heart of Istanbul - Beautiful views, super friendly stuff, confortable apartment with windows at Bosfor. Great breakfast. Close to main attractions and to public transport. We had a great time!
- Vinaya (10/5): Excellent stay. - Location, breakfast and staff ( Mele) was good. Nothing
- Vinaya (10/5): Excellent Location and a great stay. - Great location. Mele was very good and helpful. This was our second visit to this place and it did not disappoint. Nothing.
- Inna (9/5): Excellent location. Will definitely recommend this place. - Excellent location, very friendly staff. Nice breakfast. It doesn’t have an elevator therefore you need to ask for a first floor if you don’t want to claim the stairs. Very nice restaurant just next door. It was advertised as an appointment, but had only two tea cups. I wish it had a bit more stuff such as water glasses or wine glasses.
- Sharron (9/5): friendly, helpful staff and the best rooftop room. We would stay here again. Thank you - We had a room on the top floor with the most magnificent views. There is no lift, only stairs. We are in our late 60’s and had backpacks so this was ok for us but something others need to consider
- Ilya (10/5): Exceptional - Stood at this hotel for 4 nights from 9 of April. Confirm all previous reviews: a comfortable 4 persons room (3rd floor, 4 geusts deluxe), hospital and kind personnel as well as fancy stair - all are here! That stair by the way worried a bit due to a number of mentionings in other reviews, but indeed was quite ok to travel up and down. So, if you are in a middle-slim shape and read somewhen something about sports, it will not scary you. Anyway, Melih additionally noticed us for this stair before arrival.
There were 3 of us and that room at 3rd floor was absolutely suitable for comfortable starting. Would like to notice that room looks fresh walls-, furniture- and bathroom-wise. Bosforus view from the room and a nice terrace with breakfasts upstairs towards both sea and Blue and Sofia’s mosques were a very pleasant addon (photos are taken from from the hotel’s roof), though we managed to enjoy it only in the mornings due to quite intensive days. Breakfast was not overkilling, but absolutely tasteful and enough to accumulate power for half-day on feet. After long trips a comfortable bed was waiting to grant a rest. There is no traffic on the nearby streets, so there were quiet nights. Except for muezzins every 5 a.m., but this is a speciality around the whole Istanbul.
You'll find tea, coffee, some cookies, fresh water bottles every day in the room. It has been cleared every day.
Geographically the hotel was also very convenient - main attractions and tramway stop are 7 minutes away from the hotel doors.
Would like to thank Melih for his kindness and hospitality, he was ready to support for any question.
Definitely recommend this hotel to everyone, if there is a chance to get back to Istanbul, Terrace Guesthouse will be our first place to check availability in.
- Bence (9/5): Superb - Great location, at walking distance to historic sights. The breakfast is delicious and it's a generous portion. Super friendly and helpful staff. They have only a few rooms in the building, so you can always enjoy the breakfast in a cosy atmosphere on top of the house (it's just you and maybe a few others). Some of the neighbouring bars play loud music in the night, especially in the weekend. It's recommended for light sleepers to bring earplugs.
- Stéphane (10/5): Exceptional - Very good stay there. I recommend
- Ruth (8/5): Perfect location, lovely staff, would highly recommend. - Location was spot on!
Plenty of space.
Room was excellent and clean. Serviced every day.
Extra facilities…tea, coffee, water, biscuits
Breakfast…perfect and on the terrace. The stairs!
Would be unsuitable for anyone with mobility issues.
I found them a challenge!
- Edona (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent location, comfortable beds, quiet at night, lovely views from terrace and the most wonderful and helpful host -Melih!
- Cristine (10/5): I would stay there again - The location is just perfect! The breakfast was very good, everything fresh. The staff very kind and helpful. The tram is really close. There are many restaurants and sites to visit steps from the hotel. The only problem are the stairs in case you have mobility problems. But the staff will kindly hep you with your luggage.
- George (9/5): great location! in the heart of all the sites! - location, views of Hagia Sophia from the top room 4 !
- Bacchelli (9/5): Super pleasant, I would recommend it!! - Location is fantastic, in the middle of everything! Great breakfast as well! The host is very kind! Maybe the bathroom could be renovated and there should be a bigger wardrobe in the room for 4 people
- Vivek (9/5): Friendly place with awesome location and value-for-money rooms - The size of the room was great for us - a family of 4. The location is awesome - walking distance from the Blue mosque and Hagia Sofia. Lots of great eating places around. The staff is really friendly and always eager to help you with your city itinerary, food recommendations or even with using the lobby computer for taking printouts. The bath+toilet was too small when compared to the room. The stairs were too narrow to get your luggage upstairs. Hopefully this will just set your expectations right and then you can enjoy the place without any issues.
- Marc (10/5): Exceptional - Very welcoming staff, dedicated, very helpfully, proactive to make your stay very comfortable and enjoying your time in Istambul.
Location cannot be better, just the street in between the saint Sophia and blue mosquee...
It is also like 5min walk from the T1 tramway to go from historical center to the busy night restaurant/Cafe/bar place (3 tramway stations) in like 5 min....
If you take breakfast during the sunrise you will have an amazing sighseeing with the sun rising behind the bosphore River. On the breakfast terrace additional to the bosphore you can see the blue mosquee and saint sophia....splendid 360 degree view.
It is very charming hotel with spacious room. All family (we were 4) like it very much, especially kindness and the service from the staff.... There were nothing to hilight that we did not like in this hotel.
- Kseniya (10/5): Totally recommended. Thanks a lot for such a warm welcome and wonderful memories about Istanbul! - One of the best hotels we've ever been!
We arrived at the property very late, but the stuff kindly checked us in.
Our flight was delayed 1 day and the host didn't take money for this day, which was a pleasant surprise.
We were extremely happy with very tasty and big (and not too early!) breakfasts.
Hosts were super-friendly and proactively helped to resolve all issues (there were couple of days with too loud music on the street, but the host fixed that and didn't take money for these days too).
Room was very clean, with everyday changing towels and cleaning. All necessary facilities provided.
Great location in the city center, just 1 minute to Haya-Sofia. And very nice window views to Sofia and Bosporus.
Generally, everything was nice. Totally recommended. Absolutely no complaints.
- Pavel (9/5): Superb -
- Asmin (10/5): We are sure to return on our next visit to Istanbul! - The staff was truly welcoming. Breakfast was delicious and had something even for our pickiest eaters. The location was excellent—right in the heart of Old Town.
- Ngone (10/5): I will be back! - Everything!
- Zaryab (9/5): Excellent - The location and hosts Breakfast can have more choices
- Imran (10/5): Great location, great people and really comfortable stay. Couldn’t recommend enough. Just book it! - The most perfect location. Couldn’t have got a better location for the restaurants and tourist areas. Tram is also close by too which makes it a super location for everything.
The staff were exceptional and always available to help and support. Hassan and Melih are truly great people who care a lot for your comfort
The breakfast up at the top of the building was great and has a great view to all the major attractions. Everything was perfect.
- Ronny (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jakob (10/5): Lovely guesthouse in perfect location. - Extremely friendly guesthouse, perfect location for all the sights. Very clean, breakfast on rooftop terrace with great view of the Bosporus. Quiet street, although the air conditioning of the surrounding houses may be noisy.
- Zukervar (10/5): Exceptional -
- Dylan (8/5): Amazing location in the old city - From the moment we arrived Mehli made us feel welcome. The hotel is centrally located only a few minutes from the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia and Topkapi Palace, and an easy walk to the Tram.
Hasan made us delicious breakfasts and showed our children how to feed the seagulls from the beautiful roof top terrace.
Sitting on the roof terrace at sunset listening to the call to prayer while watching the sunset behind the blue mosque will be a memory we cherish forever. Everything was great however at night there can be a bit of noise from the nearby restaurants. We did however sleep through it as we were exhausted from daily excursions...
- Caz (10/5): Stunning views morning noon and night! - We stayed on the top floor (the green room) - our views were spectacular and the hosts were wonderful. It was a beautiful little haven to return to each day after absorbing incredible Istanbul. Waking up to those views again each morning just magical. It was so close to everything we wanted to see and there was a small convenience store right across the road which also handy. I would definitely stay here again. There is nothing I didn’t like, the only thing that could be an issue for some (and was a little exhausting) but is made clear in the booking is that like most boutique hotels in Sultanahmet there is no lift so if you want the spectacular views in the top room or at breakfast you will be climbing many stairs. I have a bad knee and asthma so it was a struggle sometimes but I knew this when I booked. All the other advantages of this place well and truly made up for it.
- Ruqaiyah (10/5): Perfect hosts - The location was few yards away from main sight seeing attractions. The facility is clean, housekeeping is provided as well as breakfast with a seafront view. Rooftop on the top floor has best view. The staff are friendly and helpful. Small and dainty property, few rooms which is a bonus. Recommend this guesthouse in Sultan Ahmed. Small shop in front of guest house which is open till late. Thank you to Dogan and Melih for a great first welcome to Istanbul. N/A
- Angela (10/5): Great stay at Terrace Guesthouse! - The friendliness and assistance of the staff. Enjoyed breaksfast.. Hasan was amazing, so friendly and helpful. Wish we new the language so we could have conversed. Loved the rooftop too. We were family of four room was very spacious. If you have a problem with stairs ask to be on a lower floor. They were helpful to carry suitcases but we were on 4th floor and it could have been difficult .
- Viktorya (10/5): You will not be sorry when you stay there for sure. - Customer service was excellent.
Breakfast was great.
We received excellent service from Hassan and Dogan bey.
Thank you for your great hospitality.
- Isabelle (10/5): Exceptional - We had a great stay here! It was close to all the attractions, had great aircon and was clean and comfortable. There was a nice rooftop terrace with amazing views. The staff were awesome and on 2 occasions had breakfast ready for us early. Don't hesitate to stay here! NA
- Shania (9/5): Superb -
- Tony (10/5): 4 days in Istanbul - Perfect location to explore the sites.
Amazing rooftop with great views.
Excellent breakfast.
Helpful welcoming owner and staff.
- Aaron (10/5): Amazing place! Best breakfast of our trip - Super great staff, breakfast, location, and room! Really lovely! The view from the roof is outstanding. It was not a problem for us, but some may find the stairs to be tough.
- Yoanri (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jehad.a (7/5): Good -
