Guest Reviews
- Tatiana (10/5): - Наше проживание было великолепным. В отеле всё продумано до мелочей, чтобы проживающим было комфортно.
- Cecily and John Daniels (9/5): - Close to all attractions
- Dmitrii (9/5): - Месторасположения, шаговая доступность до основных достопримечательностей. Отзывчивый и внимательный персонал.
- Gennaro (10/5): - Ci siamo sentiti a nostro agio e ci auguriamo di tornare da voi.
- Siu Kwan (8/5): - Location. Close to attractions but quiet. Have a small kitchen in the suite and washing machine in the basement. Like all the old buildings, you smell the old drainage from the toilet though it is clean.
- Talih (8/5): Zweck erfüllt - Die Sauberkeit und die Lage Bisschen eng und klein
- Alexander (10/5): -
- Tamsin (8/5): -
- Sarmadi (9/5): Really nice place for this price and area. clean and tidy. I highly recommend it! - This accommodation was excellent, especially considering the price. The house was very tidy and clean; even though it was in the basement, it felt really nice and comfortable. The staff, especially, Yusef, was very considerate and helpful. Thanks to all of them for the great stay! All good based on the price and selection the neighbor.
- Polina (10/5): - Разположението е отлично, тих и спокоен район, апартамента разполагаше с най-нужните неща за престой
- Gennaro (9/5): Consigliatissimo - Posizione perfetta per visitare tutto e distante il giusto dal caos. Yusuf è stato super cordiale e ci ha fornito tutte le informazioni necessarie. Bagno forse un pochino piccolo ma sufficiente per un breve soggiorno, materassi e cuscini da rivedere.
- Tanya (10/5): - Booked two apartments. Clean, comfortable apartments with all you need for your stay (warm showers, comfortable beds, kitchen, communal laundry). Friendly neighbours. Very short walk (5 minutes) to the Hippodrome. Great lication to use as a base. All was good
- Paul (10/5): - Our apartment was on the 3rd floor accessible via stairs. The unit is comfortable and contains all the features listed. There is a darkening curtain that can be pulled across the unit to separate the sleeping / sitting areas. There is also a rooftop terrace that provides a place to sit and has some local city views.
We mistakenly arrived without working cell/internet reception but a friendly neighbor contacted our Host and we were greeted by the local on-premises host. She was very helpful and even walked us 3 blocks to the local grocery store so we could purchase supplies.
This is a good location since many of the Sultanahmet Square and other areas are within walking distance up the hill.
The host was always quick to respond to any requests and answer any questions. The photos do appear to show two different apartment units, so you would need to clarify which unit you'll be in. We enjoyed our stay.
- claudiaandreiaalmeida (8/5): Excelente escolha para a estadia em Istambul - Apartamento pequeno mas muito bem localizado, próximo dos principais pontos turísticos e de transportes públicos e equipado com tudo necessário para uma boa estadia. O proprietário é extremamente simpático e disponível para ajudar. Não houve nada que não gostasse. Foi tudo muito bom.
- Tatiana (10/5): - Все хорошо, спасибо ♥️
- Michał (10/5): -
- Marta (10/5): -
- Viktorua (10/5): - Замечательный отель! Чистый, красивый, теплый номер (даже квартира). Комната и кухня, все работает, теплый пол в туалете. В отеле есть терраса с видом на море, на которой можно завтракать/обедать и ужинать) До Голубой мечети чуть больше 5 минут. Рядом есть кафе и магазины. Очень красивый район, возвращались поздно - проблем никаких не было. Владельцы пошли на встречу при позднем заселении и позднем выселении, спасибо большой им за это.
- gramoz (8/5): Vacanza a Istanbul - La correttezza del proprietario e il servizio di pulizia e ordine offerto anche durante la permanenza Divano letto un po' scomodo per uno degli ositi
- Costantina (8/5): -
- Pande (9/5): - Yusuf was very helpful and considerate.
The apartment was immaculately clean. outstanding.
the location was superb.
The basement apartment is an excellent central and very clean place to stay if one is a single (or couple) traveller on a tight budget.
- Elena (9/5): - Останавливаемся в этом отеле уже второй раз. После первого посещения писала большой подробный отзыв. Поскольку уже всё знакомо, то приехали словно на дачу. Вновь отмечу, что все вопросы решаются быстро, хозяин отеля Юсуф - дУшка. Уборка ежедневная, смена полотенец каждый день, смена постельного белья 1 раз за 5 дней. Всё нравится, приедем ещё :) Почините заглушку для розетки в ванной :) Очень боюсь её доломать :)
- renato (10/5): Appartamento carino, posizione splendida e host disponibile - Ci siamo trovati molto bene. L'appartamento dalle gtrandi finestre è carino e si trova in una posizione splendida, anche rispetto al centro della città vecchia di Istanbul (Sultanahmet). Bello anche il quartiere e la terrrazza dell'edificio da cui si gode anche una vista sul Bosforo. I servizi sono l'ideale per una famiglia (una spessa tenda divide la camera da letto da quella più piccola con il divano letto), compreso l'uso della cucina. Yusuf è un host simpatico e disponibile. Ci ha persino sintonizzato la tv sui canali in italiano e organizzato il transfer da e per l'aeroporto.

- Irina (10/5): - My family and I stayed at the Topkapi Apartment in November, 2025. We had a great vacation there. Apartment was clean, close to Istanbul tourist attractions, restaurants and food shops. Very friendly and helpful staff.
Special thanks to Yusuf! We really appreciate your hospitality and definitely want to visit Istanbul again and stay in Topkapi Apartment.
Thank you.
- Dea Sinta (9/5): - all equipment mentioned is complete and functioning properly. The owner, Mr. Yusuf, is very friendly and kind. people at there very helpful
- benedetta (9/5): -
- ALEKSEI (10/5): Отличное сочетание цена/качество. - Апартаменты находятся в самом историческом центре, всего лишь в 350 метрах от площади Ипподром и Голубой мечети. Правда идти эти 350 метров придётся по довольно крутому подъёму. Если идти в сторону остановки Чемберлиташ, то по пути будут аптека и два сетевых продуктовых магазина - Шоу и Бим. Вокруг гостиницы много кафешек, рядом есть детская площадка, ну и конечно огромное количество котиков. Сами апартаменты располагаются в 3 этажном здании с цокольным этажом. Всего 4 номера - по одному на каждый этаж. Мы жили на первом этаже - днём иногда был шум от проезжающего транспорта и групп туристов, но мы в номере днём находились мало, поэтому шум не напрягал. Ночью была тишина, около шести часов утра слышен азан, но к нему быстро привыкаешь и потом он не беспокоит. На крыше находится терраса с красивым видом на Мраморное море, здесь можно завтракать/обедать/ужинать, отдохнуть с книгой, посушить бельё на сушилках. Бельё можно стирать на цокольном этаже в общей стиральной машинке - порошок предоставляется бесплатно. Горничная - приятная рускоговорящая девушка, уборка была почти каждый день, полотенца и постельное бельё меняли так же очень часто, всё было чистенько и аккуратненько. Номер небольшой, с одной двухспальной кроватью и двумя отдельными спальными местами (все матрасы очень удобные), с маленькой кухонькой, где была электрическая плитка, микроволновка, холодильник и полный набор посуды для приготовления пищи, так же была новая запечатанная губка для мытья посуды. Душевая кабина и унитаз в ванной новые, горячая вода была постоянно. Wi-Fi и кондиционер работали без перебоев, был телевизор со спутниковыми каналами - но мы его даже не включали.
Хотелось бы отдельно отметить хозяина отеля Юсуфа - очень доброжелательный человек, всегда был на связи, отвечал на все вопросы по Ватсап, знает английский язык. Видно, что он очень внимательно следит за состоянием своего отеля и старается обеспечить максимальный комфорт проживания своим гостям. Всё было отлично!
- Janny Abel (10/5): -
- Alla (10/5): -
- Furakh (9/5): - We had a comfortable and convenient stay at Topkapi Apartments with our family. The place was close to all the main tourist spots, which made sightseeing really easy. Yusuf was very helpful and friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed during our stay.
- Daria (10/5): -
- PILAR (10/5): Apartamento muy recomendable. - La ubicación es perfecta, muy cerca de la zona centro. El anfitrión muy muy accesible, nos ayudaron en todo. El apartamento muy limpio. En general e 10.
- arianna (7/5): - Posizione centrale
- Miro_2015 (5/5): Не е това което е та снимките - Има разлика, между снимките и действителността. Стоята е за двама, а ние бяхме трима. Не се отоплява бокса и беше студено. Парното е недостатъчно и се усеща студ. Много малка стая и не си заслуоава цена качество. Пише че има паркинг, да има, но е платен и трябва да се отбележи в предлагането, където е написано , че разполага..
- Toccade (9/5): - Le très bon rapport qualité prix, surtout avec l'inflation galopante en Turquie. L'emplacement était vraiment idéal. J'ai propreté (une dame vient faire le ménage presque tous les jours, sortir les poubelles etc), la belle terrasse. C'est assez bruyant, mais ce sont des vieux bâtiments qui sont assez mal isolés (Vieil Istanbul oblige). Le lit double est arrivé en fin de vie.
- Francesca (10/5): Tutte le comodità in una posizione strategica - Posizione centralissima, ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo, terrazza panoramica, comunicazione con l'host e dotazioni dell'appartamento.
Yusuf, il proprietario, è molto disponibile e gentile: ci ha consentito di lasciare i bagagli nell'appartamento anche oltre l'orario di check out. Niente.
- Abdelhafidh (10/5): - I liked everything Nothing
- Tariq Anwar (10/5): Excellent -
- Elena (9/5): - При заселении никаких проблем не возникло. Ресепшена у отеля нет, вас встречает сотрудник и помогает разместиться. Наш номер (трехместный) был на первом этаже. Немного опишу номер, хотя он в целом совпадает полностью с фотографиями. В коридоре на стене есть вешалки для верхней одежды. Ванная комната небольшая, были маленькие флакончики с шампунем и гелем для душа. Я всегда вожу свои, поэтому не пригодились. Кухня тоже маленькая, именно поэтому обеденный стол стоит в комнате. Холодильник (маленький), плита, микроволновка, кухонный гарнитур, посуда, кухонная утварь (кастрюли, сковородка очень приличного качества и в отличном состоянии), столовые приборы, средства для мытья посуды, мусорные мешки, чай, кофе, соль, растительно масло, небольшой запас вермишели и риса (привет предыдущим жильцам :) ). В комнате большая двуспальная кровать и одна полуторная с отличными матрасами, 2 прикроватные тумбочки (рядом с каждой по розетке и светильнику), большой шкаф для одежды (где располагается: фен, сейф, утюг и небольшая гладильная доска), небольшое кресло, обеденный стол и 3 стула. Полотенца меняют ежедневно, постельное белье 1 раз за 7 дней. Туалетную бумагу так же приносят регулярно. Окна полноценные, не цокольный этаж. Есть шторы. Стена у кровати и входные двери немного обшарпанные, не хватало крючков в ванной для полотенец (для меня это мелочи, но возможно кому-то важно). Мне чуть не хватило освещения в номере. Локация отличная, но нужно какое-то время пройти в горку, чтобы дойти к остановке трамвая. В целом, отличный номер. Владелец разрешил выехать на несколько часов позже, за что ему отдельная благодарность
- María Angeles (8/5): Excelente calidad- precio - Atención excelente y muy amable. Ubicación excepcional.

- Simercita (8/5): Good location but can be noisy outside - We were in Istanbul for the marathon and this property is perfectly located for our purpose.
Location - close to the main attractions such as Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, etc.
Room / property - spacious, has kitchen that we were able to use to cook dinner one evening as we needed to cook meal before the marathon. Location - not the property's control but it can be noisy outside. One night there was a man screaming outside at 1 or 2am. Another night, there were noisy kids late night. These weren't helpful especially when trying to get good night sleep before and after the marathon.

- Lourdes (10/5): - Todo muy bien, cómodo y con todo lo que necesitábamos. Yusuf siempre muy atento a todo.
- Zoltan (10/5): Perfect for exploring the city - Located in the old city nearby to many sights, shops and restaurants. The apartment is well equipped and comfortable and has the charm of a classic inner city building.
- Ana Polvoreda (8/5): Ben situat en el cor de Sultanahmet - La ubicació del apartament, el personal atent, neteja i la connexió a internet, prou insonoritzat. Un poc menut però per a nosaltres va estar prou bé. L'aire acondicionat feia un poc de soroll.
- Yulia (10/5): If I will be in Istambul , will choose this place again) - Everything is perfect!I found everything what I needed.I stayed with my family (2 adults and 2 kids).I prepared breakfast every day for my kids,on kitchen you can find everything what you need.Bedding is fresh and clean,the beds were comfortable. Everything was great.

- Nerea (6/5): - La ubicación y las facilidades que nos dio Yusuf. El baño olía, bastante ruidoso.
- sandra (8/5): -
- Michela (8/5): -
- laura (8/5): - Posizione e gentilezza dell’host Appartamento un po’ piccolo per 4 persone con cucina poco pratica
- Margherita (8/5): -
- Giulia (9/5): Un cantuccio accogliente - Ottima posizione, siamo andati a piedi ovunque o a 10 minuti c’è la fermata del tram1, la donna che ci ha accolti è stata molto gentile e carina. La possibilità di usare la lavatrice è una gran cosa.
La casa è abbastanza accogliente, nonostante fossimo nell’appartamento del seminterrato, anche la terrazza all’ultimo piano è bella. Peccato per il bagno che è un po’ troppo piccolo. Il bagno piccolissimo
- Lachezar (8/5): -
- Peter (9/5): Recommended, good value for money, a very good location. - It was located a short walk from the Hippodrome. This small comfortable apartment was good value for money. With good restaurants and a green grocer very near by, we did not need to use the kitchen, even though it was well equipped. Breakfast on the terrace was a great start to the day. As well, there was a washing machine available.
- Panagiotis (8/5): Very good - The apartment was very clean and in good location. The view from the terrace is great, the nearby sea is visible and of course the sphendone. The owner was very helpful and willing to assist with anything. Overall, the apartment condition is good, but the bathroom needs a few improvements. Namely, there is no active ventilation apart from one hole that used to keep a vent, which caused quite some smell if you closed the bathroom door. Also, the toilet seat is bigger than the toilet and needs replacement.
- Niki (10/5): Exceptional -
- Brieuc (9/5): Great apartment with rooftop in a lovely area - Amazing location = in a lovely street of the old town, nearby the main touristic monuments yet in a quiet area.
Great terrace on the roof with a view on the wall of the byzantine Hippodrome and also partly on the sea. Ideal for an apero or breakfast ^^
Yusuf was helpful and responsive.
The Family suite was comfortable, the beds good and the airco was discrete and efficient
There were cold bottles of water in the fridge for us It was really great. Only few details could be improved :
- Regarding the curtain separating the room : a part of the rail on which the curtain is suspended is bent, so the curtain cannot reach the end.
- Regarding the bathroom : there is a bad smell due to either a plumbing problem or a problem with air circulation; and some parts of the bathroom ceiling are a little dirty and damp.
- Ian⁶ (10/5): Comfortable stay in a great location - Host Yusuf is very friendly and helpful. His communication was excellent and he responded quickly when contacted. The apartments are well located in a quieter area just outside the Blue Mosque precinct. The building, like most in the area, is old but has been renovated outside and retrofitted with modern conveniences inside. It's comfortable but not flashy. Our top floor apartment had many things we value: opening windows (4) providing great air flow; comfortable bed; efficient heating; pleasant neighbourhood views; quiet at night; a shared roof terrace with table and chairs and a view of the Bosphorus; close to restaurants, attractions and transport. The property is spotlessly clean both inside the apartment and in the common areas thanks to the friendly and professional housekeeper. Value for money is excellent. Nothing really, we were quite happy with our stay.
People with mobility issues should be aware there are stairs, no elevator.
- Emilio (10/5): Was wonderful - The hotel was amazing and the host Yusuf was wonderful and super helpful No complaints about it
- Douglas (8/5): Very good - Topkapi apartments is a two storey building with 4 apartments , one on each floor including one floor below ground level. There is a washing machine in the underground level for all the 4 apartments to use. There is also a terrace with a few airers to dry clothes and one can also sit there and relax.
It is very close to the Hippodrome and Blue Mosque, and walking distance to Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, Basilica Cistern, Grand Bazaar and Spice Markets.
We stayed in the ground floor (triple room apartment). It was small and compact but had everything that one would need for a comfortable stay.The water pressure and temperature was excellent and one could shower in comfort.
The apartment, linen, towels, all were very clean with a cleaner coming nearly every day to empty the bins and do up your room. Very similar to a hotel.
The host was there to greet us and explain everything. He was very kind and helpful.
We enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it.
- Sok (8/5): Very good -
- Mohd (8/5): Very good -
- Martina (10/5): Perfect apartment in the Centre - The apartment is really nice, with everything you need and it's really clean. The view from the terrace upstair is wonderful and the position is just perfect, really close to Topkapi, Hagia Sophia, Blue mosque ecc. Yusuf is a so great owner, really kind and helpful.
- Noorasmawati (9/5): Superb -
- Donelle (7/5): A quiet base in the heart of the old city - Yusuf is a friendly and responsive host, and I appreciated the flexible check-in and comprehensive instructions. The apartment is on a quiet lane opposite a park where I felt safe, within walking distance to major sites. The terrace would benefit from some attention to make it more appealing.
- Akshay (10/5): Exceptional -
- Fahim (9/5): Superb - 🇧🇩
The property is located in an excellent location. The main tourist attractions of Istanbul is within a very close proximity and within walking distance. The facilities are wholesome, you can cook your food and serve yourselves. We had a lovely stay. Due to some maintenance issues we did not get any internet connectivity.
- Stephanos (8/5): Very good -
- Bogdan (8/5): Very good -
- Diana (9/5): Superb - The staff were so helpful. The noise of common washing machine located in front of the room's door..
- Andrei (9/5): Superb -
- Elizaveta (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ambrin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Purves (10/5): Exceptional - Great location, within minutes walk to everything. Owner hospitality was above and beyond. Apartment is spacious and well equipped. Large top floor terrace to enjoy with spectacular views over the town. Highly recommend.
- Laura (10/5): Very good location, quiet area - The building is located just a 6-7 minute walk from the Blue Mosque. It’s in a quiet area, except during prayer times at 5 AM and 10 PM, which can be a bit disturbing. However, if you have the air conditioning on, you’ll hardly hear anything.
The apartment was spacious and equipped with everything necessary for a 2-day stay. It was clean, with two beds and a sofa, which was more than enough for our needs. Parking was conveniently located right outside the building, costing around 18-20 euros, but it was worth it given how crowded Istanbul is.
Mr. Yusuf wasn’t available during the first few days, but his colleague was very helpful and even provided us with his transport card. The atmosphere was very friendly, with many cats downstairs and complimentary water in the fridge. What more could you ask for? Maybe to fix a window that doesn't insulate sound well, but in rest, it was a great accommodation for us.
- Alisha (5/5): Not too bad. Good price for what you get. - The location is very good, the host is amazing. You get what you pay for as this is a very cheap apartment The apartment smelt like damp. There is no lift. It is worth the money as it is very cheap. You get what you pay for
- Leonidas (8/5): Very good - I really liked how they cleaned the room everyday which was a thing I did not expect. The cleaning was done very well. The facilities were as expected and comfortable enough, especially for the price. There were some power outages but some of them were region wide power outage so there is nothing that they could do. But, there were times when power suddenly ran out and I think that was only for the room that we stayed in. However, it only happened when we consumed an excessive amount of electricity.
- Martin (8/5): A comfortable, well located small apartment which suited us a family of 4 for short stayy - An amazing location - able to walk to various key attractions, various restaurants options, quiet area and close to some corner shops and small supermarket. There is tour operator down below to organise trips if you like to use. The apartment has two bedrooms( one with bed settee and single) , bathroom and small kitchen with electric counter top two ring hob, fridge and microwave and kettle. Tea, coffee, sugar and large cold water was supplied. Air conditioner worked a dream in both bedrooms and it was clean and comfortable. Yusuf kindly organised taxi to and from the airport and was in touch. Would recommend better for a couple than for family of four but it was fine Paid in cash as that was what was preferred
- Tsiklauri (8/5): Very good -
- Nickynook (8/5): Happy stay in a convenient, comfortable small apartment. - Conveniently located within 10 minutes walk of Sultanahmet tram stop and the Blue Mosque etc. The apartment was clean and had everything needed - air-conditioning, good wifi, small kitchen etc. The bathroom was a little rough around the edges - had a flimsy shower base and some strange holes near the ceiling - but it all worked OK.
There was a terrace on the top floor good for evening drinks and to look at the view over the surrounding area.
Yusuf, the owner/operator was a delight. A charming, helpful man who gave some excellent advice regarding restaurants in the area and the best way to get to the airport by public transport. A very happy stay. Beds were made up with a bottom sheet but no top sheet, only a thick cotton blanket. Initially we thought they had forgotten to put on a top sheet and it took us a while to figure out that this is the Turkish way and perfectly normal there.
- Vladislav (8/5): Very good - Location is great, however terrace is shared - not fully clear from photos
- Javaria (6/5): Perfect location from most of the attractions. Room was a good size and clean too.Overall it was a comfortable stay - Location of the apartment is excellent and most attractions were at walking distance from this apartment. Room was clean. The bathroom was extremely small. It Felt like using a flight bathroom. Toilet was even properly fitted.It was moving
- Brink (10/5): Exceptional -
