I want to thank to Mr.Harun and his friendly staff.Hope to come back as soon as possible.

Respect to the maids, always friendly and smiling.

Check in was welcome with a smiley friendly face.

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

Hagia Sofia, Blue Mosque, Gulhane park, Sahil are 2 min walk from Hotel!

A 3 minute walk from Haghia Sophia, Gulhane park and Blue Mosque.

Gulhane Park entrance is also only a brief 5 minute walk and this is a must visit.

The location of the hotel is just perfect, a couple of minutes walk from the most famous attractions, a beautiful park, a promenade, restaurants, a tram station.

There is also a very well manicured park to relax in near the Hotel (good for our dog to play).

Excellent location- 3 minutes walk to Sultan Ahmet Square and tram station, 5 minutes walk to Gülhane Park.

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

Very good staf ,Room all Ok ,i was with family very very good ,good Hotels and Near of Sultan Ahmet and Aya Sofia,Grand Bazar,All the are Near of this beatiful Restaurant and no Expensiv Alla Are Ok ..

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

The staff were all excellent - really friendly and helpful and organised a private tour for us which we would recommend.

Super friendly staff, helped us with everything, especially with the search for taxi.

Great atmosphere and friendly people,the service is amazing,there is a swimming pool

The room was very nice and clean, the hotel team is very friendly and they are always ready to solve any kind of problem.

Really great customer service here , Zomre guest relations made us feel welcomed and was very friendly this contributed to our experience at the hotel.

We highly appreciate the work of Romance Istanbul's staff for warm, friendly communications!

A nice breakfast is served at the hotel by very friendly staff.

We stayed as family in this hotel for 6days and we really enjoyed our stay rooms are cleaned very well good location the stuff specially are very friendly humble helpful and always greet u with a beautiful smile that u can see thru their mask and specially the breakfast stuff,Ramazan receptionist,zumre guest relations are amazing. .

very good, friendly and extremely helpful staff especially zumre,  she was excellent and advised us everyday.

Very wonderful place, very polite people, they were very helpful and friendly.

Ideal location, comfortable spacious rooms, delicious breakfasts :) Very friendly and helpful staff.

One of the best hotels I've ever stayed in - the staff at the Romance Hotel were just so friendly and helpful - and Zumre was especially great in giving us tips on getting around the city, and answered any question we had.

Overall the hotel feels like home, very safe with friendly staff.

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.

This is a very nice hotel in the best location right next to Gulhane tram station.

the hotel is in the old town,near to haghia sophia blue mosque,gulhane team,grand bazaar,spice bazaar,breakfast has wide variety abd coffe tea is available,the room is clean and spacious,recommend it,great service

It’s located right in the heart of old town,gulhane tram station is a minute away,topkapi palace,haghia sophia blue mosque,spice bazaar,grand bazaar are all walking distance ,would recommend it to all.

Wonderful gem of a hotel right in the old town, a few steps from Gulhane Park, Sultanahmet, the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia.

So vibrant is istanbul,this hotel is located in the old town,near to mosquée and palace and lovely gulhane park,kind people,great service,very helpful,that makes a différence, would def come back,like a second home

One more thing about the hotel is that it is so close to attractions such as Iya Sofia Gulhane park.

The most beautiful attractions are very close to the hotel: 
Topkapi Palace 0.3 km
Blue Mosque 0.5 km
Gulhane Park 0.2 km
Hagia Sophia 0.5 km
Spice Bazaar 0.7 km
Basilica Cistern 0.5 km
Islam Science and Technology Museum 0.1 km
Hagia Irene Museum 0.5
Istanbul Archaeological Museum 0.3 km

Really close to the Gulhane park and another different places.

Right across the corner to Gulhane tram stop,

The hotel is right next to the tram station Gulhane and near to all the tourist attractions.

An entrance to Gulhane Park is about 120 yards from the hotel.

The hotel is in a brilliant location yards away from Topkapi , the Gulhane park with its terrace cafe and the the tram stop.

The hotel is centrally located with easy access to Gulhane tram station and walking distance of many sites.

Super convenient location just steps from Gulhane tram stop, easy walking distance to so many of the must-see tourist sites such as the Bazaars, mosques, and museums.

Since the Gulhane park is right next to the hotel, it's good for a walk at night.

A tram stop (Gulhane) is just steps away, and most sites in the Old Town can be accessed by the tram or by foot.

Nearby places are Haghia Sofia , Topkapi Palace, Gulhane Park , Grand Bazaar.

Hotel was a stone throw to Gulhane Tram station.

Gulhane tram station is a 1 minute walk away.
