If you live in an area like NYC you'll be fine.

Amazing location (2 minutes away from every place you must go in Istanbul), super nice, kind and helpful staff, very clean rooms and common areas, nice typical breakfast.

Hall and common areas of luxury and all with attention to the smallest details.

All major Sultanahmet area attractions like Hagia Sophia, Blue mosque, Bucolean Palace, Topkapi Palace, and Basilica Cistern are in about just 2 munites walk.

The area is pretty safe to walk around alone.

The hotel is conveniently located within the central tourist area and for a small hotel offers an exceptional level of opulent comfort.

In addition the location was the best hagia sophia and blue mosque, great bazaar and species and atmosphere of the area.

I loved the beautiful terrace view overlooking  Sultan Ahmet area while enjoying a great variety of delicious breakfast specialities from the open buffet.

I highly recommend the White House hotel in Istanbul with its ideal location close to all the major attractions, public transportation and shopping areas.

Close to tram stop with great access to all areas.

The area is lively, 2 steps from the historic center, with a multitude of restaurants,

Clean common area and rooms, fast and amazing services, delicious verity breakfast on the terrace with overlooking the amazing Hagia Sophia.

He gave me great tips about the area and what to do.

Also lots of local restaurants in the area, which is very secure.

Compimentary drinks, sweets and blue eye at check-in, rose pedals, hand-written letter by the owner, baloons, tea & coffee bags in the room, a terrace with an outstanding view of Hagia Sophia and the bosphorus, super clean area and rooms, gift and surprises during the stay, and goodbye gifts (Turkish delight and apple tea) at check-out.

Very nice breakfast area on the balcony with a beautiful view of Ayasofya masjid and blue mosque.

The perfect area to relax after a day of sightseeing.

Breakfast area was located on the terrace where you get to see Haghia sophia and Bosphorus.

The immediate surrounding areas are very safe, with several nice places to eat, and interesting places to browse and visit.

The lobby and rooms are beautiful, the location cannot be better (steps to every area of old town you'd want to see), and the views from the rooftop breakfast / day lounge are incredible.

The room is very comfortable and the roof top has such a beautiful view of the Mosque.

This lovely hotel is ideally located just a few minutes away from the key attractions of Istanbul (Hagia Sofia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace etc).

We were within short walking distance to the Grand Bazaar, the Spice Market, Topkapi Palace, Hagia Sofya, the Blue Mosque, the Roman Cistern and a sea of Restaurants and shops.

Steps away from Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque with numerous cute restaurants everywhere you look.

A few minutes walk from the Blue Mosque and Hippodrome.

The location was perfect, 7 minutes walk to the main attractions (Aya Sofia, the blue mosque) and to the tram station.

Ist is great located near to the Sultan Ahmed mosque.

This hotel is located on Sultanahmet, 2 minutes on foot from the Blue Mosque, Haghia Sophia and a few meters from Tram station to take you across the Galata Bridge.

Within minutes you can reach to the main historical places such as Hagia Sophia, Grand Bazaar and Blue Mosque.

We were with a friend in this hotel for two nights, we were very satisfied, 3 minutes walk to the blue mosque, clean comfortable room, very good-natured helpful staff.

White House Hotel Istanbul is located in the heart of the historical peninsula and it is within few munites walking distance to Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Archeology Museum, the Basilica Cistern, Grand Bazaar and Spice Bazaar.

We were only minutes away to Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia.Actually I chose the hotel fort his reason.But we arrived here ,from the first moment until we leave this wonderful property,we felt very happy every moment we spent here.Especially the staff and the owner himself are there for you all the time.This is the key point for a good vacation.We had breakfast at the top floor.Very nice view and delicious dishes every morning.Thanks to all the staff and Mr.Harun making our stay the best.

The location is top, two minutes from the Blue Mosque.

The location of the hotel is excellent within easy reach of all mean tourist attractions Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, Grand Bazaar and Blue Mosque and the main tram station.

Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Grand Bazaar… Almost near by the hotel.

In a few minutes by walking, you can see Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and Grand Bazaar.

Only a few minutes away to Blue Mosque, Grand Bazaar, Topkapi Palace and Hagia Sophia and the other touristic attractions.

There is a terrace that has a wonderful view of the Blue Mosque.

Wonderful staff; great location close to the top attractions, the tram line, and nearby restaurants; impeccably clean and comfortable room (we loved the rose petal touch); and a very nice breakfast on the top floor with a view of the top of the Haggia Sofia.

The room was clean and cozy and i also appreciated the fact that the hotel was not too much big since you breathed a familiar atmosphere.

amazing stay with very nice staff  clean  rooms  near from all atraction  so kind and freindly maneger delicious food near from transportation very nice  smell of the hotel all the staff makes you feel that you are at your own home

Our room was beautiful and well laid out.

Nice size and well kept room and amenities.

The hotel room itself was comfortable and clean.

The rooms are clean and you can get to many attractions without using a car.

The breakfast room is on the roof with a lovely view to mosk and Bosfor.

The room was beautiful and was furnished to a high standard.

The hotel is beautiful, with a great location and wonderful staff, the rooms are super clean and smell great and the breakfast is really nice.

Centrally located
Close to all the restaurants
Amazing staff
Halil was especially helpful
Excellent breakfast included with an  indoor and outdoor patio
The rooms are well decorated , good size.

The room was well equipped and clean, I must say the location is perfect!

The breakfast room is on the roof with a lovely view of Istanbul and the water.

The bathroom is also small, and the shower is enclosed in a small circular area like if you look a cruise ship voyage and had those showers.

A previous review mentioned the shower was too small - this person must’ve been the size of a small elephant as I am 6foot and quite hefty yet the shower was perfect.

However,single rooms are a little tight on space planning.The toilets are very small !

but we were disappointed to see that the room is hyper small, bathroom is also small and bed is double.

although the bathroom was a little too small.

On the down side the rooms were a bit small

Namely non-sound-proof walls, a small room with no view, occasional sewer smells, lack of storage space, and unsatisfactory breakfast selection (which, to be fair, is to be expected at a smaller hotel).

The room we had for 6 nights was small, (standard double) that we booked on Expedia.

The only draw back is the rooms are somewhat small (which is ok) and have little to no storage space (this is the biggest challenge- no counter space to store your belongings between days).

The rooms are small (think London) and the hotel has no other amenities like a pool or fitness center etc.

though the room was on the small side; albeit within minutes of the hagia sofia and blue mosque.

The hotel is small and I think just has 14 rooms.

From day one the Service and Staff have been Excellent.

The staff are super friendly, helpful, and kind.

I found a very qualified and cordial staff.

But the main strength of this hotel lies in its people: we felt very warmly welcomed and taken care of thanks to Mert, Halli and Rahman!

The staff were terrific-warm, friendly, always helpful.

Magnificent hotel with a magical location to visit everything, we loved all the staff so responsive to all our requests, they made all the reservations for the restaurants and the entrances to the various tourist activities, exceptional breakfast, we recommend this magnificent hotel

I say that because the hotel was wonderful, especially the staff, who bent over backwards to make sure everything that we needed was done.

The food was delicious, the place was super clean, and the owner was a true host that made me feel he cared about me and my safety.

They were polite and helpful, especially with the stroller, answering our questions, organizing the cruise and pick up from and to the airport.

The hotel staff go above and beyond for their guests and make them feel like family.

Special mentions to Mr Mert  for his lovely welcome (Turkish delight and fizz) and helpful advice.

I personal letter welcoming us to the Hotel by the owner was another special touch.

Friendly and courteous staff, wonderful location for easy access to main sites and tram, and amazing breakfast on terrace.

Excellent location and services
Very clean , comfortable and romantic 
Welcoming staff ,they  make you feel special 
Good breakfast and good value for your stay 
The only negative part is hard to get reservations

Even owner was great .he welcome us personally which was great.

Great location, Excellent Staff and While experience with the Whitehouse was Excellent!!!

If you want something different from the Hilton/Hyatt experience give the White House a try.

Great people, really appreciate your help and hospitality.

In particular, shout out to Halil and Mert who really went out of their way with their kindness and hospitality.

All in all, this is by far the best hotel to stay in Istanbul, especially if you have a time crunch since this hotel is walking distance from all major landmarks and they have the best hospitality!

The White House hotel is a very special and lovely experience!

A really nice hotel with the best service we ever experienced.

It was a sweet experience and the best location.

The staff has that Turkish hospitality - very professional and warm at the same time.

We made sure to watch sunset while having our delicious apple tea every night Best of all, their staff were top-notch in hospitality and were quick to help us with anything we needed including airport transportation and directions.

It also provides consistent boutique hospitality.

This hotel is best gem in Istanbul and you must have this experience too.

Both the hospitality, as well as the service was top.

Wowww to the highest hospitality, this place has ticked all the boxes for me in terms of accommodation.

This hotel provides you the best of the best service because I experienced the best service in my whole life in this hotel

We easily walked to the Grand Bazaar, Spice Bazaar, Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Yeni Mosque, Suleymaniye Mosque, Theodosius Obelisk, Column of Constantine, Topkapi Palace, and the Bosphorus Strait Cruise ship line-up.

The terrace view of the Hagia Sophia was an amazing sight to take in.

Very  nice breakfast every morning on the top of the hotel terrace that over looked Istanbul.

The breakfast terrace has a gorgeous view on St Sofia.

Good breakfast buffet selection at a roof top terrace with good view of the historic places and monuments.

but I loved the small terrace that was attached.

The views from the terrace alone over Istanbul is worth the stay.

There was a good and varied breakfast on offer on the roof terrace which had lovely views.

Breakfast on the roof terrace under the gaze of the Hagia Sophia a perfect start to the day.

The hotel terrace offers the most attractive view of old Istanbul while enjoying the famous Turkish apple tea.

Also the breakfast on the roof terrace is very nice with a beautiful view.

I loved the terrace ,relaxing and joyful with fresh dishes every morning.

Breakfast is served on the terrace with great scene, the food is amazing.

The hotel has a beautiful breakfast terrace overlooking the Bosphorus, there are cozy places where you can sit quietly and drink tea or coffee - The breakfasts are very tasty and varied.

Breakfast was served on a terrace with an amazing view of Istanbul.

Luxury and Boutique Hotel with lovely Roof -Top Terrace.

Breakfast is at the Roof-Top terrace with a breathtaking view of Hagia Sophia very delicious and enjoying.

Breakfast is served on the terrace as well.

Seagulls sometimes walk along the terrace.

I almost forgot to write about the wonderful view from the terrace to the sea and the Haghia Sophia!

It is a 10 minute stroll to the Grand Bazaar, Blue Mosque and Topkapi Palace.

Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, Grand Bazaar and Blue Mosque are only a few minutes away from the hotel.

The hotel is located so perfectly that within a few minutes walk, you can reach to Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace and Grand Bazaar.

Grand Bazaar, Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace.

Topkapi Palace, Basilica Cistern and Grand Bazaar are also walking distance to the hotel.

The hotel is also very close to the Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Hagia Sophia and Grand Bazaar.

The location is great near Grand Bazaar, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace and Blue Mosque.

Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, Blue Mosque and Grand Bazaar are almost near by.

They are located in the center of the old city and Topkapi Palace and Sultan Ahmet, St. Sophia are very very close to the hotel, so you can walk around.

The location of the hotel is just perfect - next to Topkapi Palace, Gulhane Park, Hagia Sophia Mosque, Blue Mosque, Egyptian Obelisk.

Short walk just 2 minutes to Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia Museum and Topkapi Palace.

A few meters from the, Grand Bazaar, Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern, Topkapi Palace.

A few more minutes to Topkapi Palace and Grand Bazaar.

The hotel is located in the very center, it is difficult to think of a better location relative to the main attractions (walking distance to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace and much more).

negative: the walls are too thin so you can here people next to you and it makes noisy, the price is a little high for what it is.

Tourist attractions ; What we did not expect was that it has a historic abandoned hamam in front, Old Hagia Sofia (read about it :) ) and Old city walls in 1 mins walk.

Only downside is the thin walls and street noise

Walls are fairly thin as you can hear your neighbors,

Walls are extremely thin and you can easily hear a conversation next door or even the tv.

The area is clean and relaxing and only allowed 5 people max which was perfect as we had the pool to ourselves for an hour.

The staff look after you and every morning we enjoyed a chitchat with Zumre ( from guest relations) who gave us some really good advice on where to visit including a map with quicker routes to get around, she even recommended places to eat around the area!

Definitely worth checking out the other facilities offered here such as the gym , the spa , and the swimming area.

The room is nice – two separate areas, big bathroom.

Zumre was exceptionally helpful and spent a lot of time talking to us to ensure that everything was good, introduced interesting areas to visit and showed us how to get to Istanbul shopping malls, and booked a taxi for us for our trip to the airport.

Easy to walk to all the sights and shopping areas.

Plus, the hamam/turkish bath/spa area in the hotel are stunningly beautiful!

She knows the area, has excellent guides, and is it all with bright smiling eyes behind her mask.

Spa is top notch, we booked massages and afterwards spent 1hr in the pool/spa area having it all to ourselves (COVID precaution).

I recommend this hotel to everyone that want to stay in sultan Ahmed 
Old city area.

The hotel’s located central to many different areas, everything such as the mosques, grand bazaar, etc are 10-20 min walks, there a tons of shops around the hotel, a tram line 10 feet out the door, a spa, a pool, amazing included breakfast, etc.

Its a great hotel in old historical side of istanbul, everything is walking distance, Restaurants and coffees are around all near by,excellent service, all kind and helpful people, great breakfast,delicious

We have stayed in this hotel for a week,location was great,right at the heart of the city,amazing style,very ottoman and historical,kind staff,zumre helped us alot, they are all helpful,we will definitely come back

Perfect location in the middle of the historic centre, with extremely helpful and friendly staff, beautiful rooms and great breakfast.

but really this wasn't my fault so he shouldn't have been unhappy with me.

but mixed weather meant limited use - not the hotel’s fault I know.

The only small criticism, which is not the fault of the hotel, is that it can be a little noisy at night due to the local bars and the tramway that goes right past the front door.

I had a cold for the first two days (I blame my sister lol) and they made sure I had plenty of mint tea to soothe my throat, without me having to ask they offered.


It is difficult to find fault with this stay!

When we had a minor lighting issue in our room, they went above and beyond to fix it.

Nonetheless, after a bit of a delay, we were on our way and the hotel worked to fix the problem as soon as they were aware of it.

Decoration: All the fittings and fixtures of the hotel have been custom-made to give a definite sense of traditional style, with an emphasis on ornate, period gilded-wood furniture, heavy drapes, floral wallpaper and velvet or satin upholstery, chandeliers and glass pendant lighting fittings and wrought-iron work.

The bathroom was separated by glass walls with curtains on the inside, which, when pulled open, created an even more airy and open space.

It had a tiny ante, a small balcony and a glass walled bathroom.

The bathroom it a bit odd in that it has glass walls with curtains.

The glass walls also mean there is just one hook right next to the shower to hang towels and robes, which can maybe hold one, two with difficulty.

The bathroom is a bit strange, a room within a room, a glass box with curtains.

The toilets were very clean and the only problem i had with it was that it had glass walls backed with almost transparent curtains.

We were impressed  by this hotel, good location in the centre of Old Town, close to Blue Mosque and all famous 
places, very nice service, beatyful room with luxury design.
