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

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.

Maybe I would just add a selection of yogurts for breakfast buffet :) they were so kind to give us even a gift when we left!!!

Found the whole bee honey comb for breakfast very unique.

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

Excellent location and services

Welcoming staff ,they  make you feel special 
Good breakfast and good value for your stay 
The only negative part is hard to get reservations

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.

It was an incredible feeling to admire the beautiful Istanbul and drink my favorite apple Turkish tea!

The rest of breakfast--cheeses, fruit, honey, spreads, pastries and the like were very nice!

Lovely and clean extremely friendly and helpful staff with excellent breakfast up on the terrace.

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

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

It was spacious and decorated as a chamber in a palace.

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

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.

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 room was beautiful and was furnished to a high standard.

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.

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

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.

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.

but I loved the small terrace that was attached.

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

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!

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.

Excellent option in the old town, two minutes from Haghia Sofia, Blue Mosk and Topkapi.

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.

staying experience

The hotel is like a palace and very clean.

but I don't believe this is an excuse for poor service.

Eventually , we went into Didim centre to have evening dinner due to the poor quality of the food served in your buffet.

The confectionery shop unfortunately suffered of the same poor communication and customer service.

food very good, everyone can find something for themselves, only the night meal was poor where there is almost nothing to choose from except pasta, rolls, cheese, tomatoes and cucumbers and for a five-star hotel there should be more and maybe there should be some sandwiches in the lobby  bar, drinks sometimes not good

Presentation was also poor with lots of spillage everywhere.

The food was very poor that we opted to go back to the main restaurant.

You have to book in advance and availability is poor.

Pretty poor service for almost a 2 grand holiday!!!!

but in this case since the animation team is so poor you can't even oversee it.

To be honest they don't interact with anyone this end of the pool.sorry to say they are very poor when compared to teams on other hotels we have stayed.

Sun loungers, extremely poor condition, signs of rust and broken springs, that actually.

Pool toilets were dirty very poor management they need updating.

Beer is excellent, cocktails are poor in my opinion,

On the other side, it is good as there is not really much to see in the nearest Didim town which is poor and dirty town.

However the food is poor, the staff are rude and uninterested apart from the animation team and the night manager.

Food is really poor for a 5*,very bland and tastless.

If you ask them anything that is over their poor english skills (mostly not even poor) they just dont answer and they are looking at you like you ate their lunch or something.

The WiFi is a bit poor though, my mate was getting 700 ping on fortnite.

Amazing atmosphere, great people I can call friends, delicious food, crazy entertainment team, nice rooms, fitness, spa, hammam is a great experience, fantastic show every night, just go there, you won't regret.

Food is great with plenty of choice for everyone.

Well done to rio, bobby and rhe  manager who we nick named JD lol 

Big thanks to harry in rhe lobby bar for his famouse cocktails 

Only complaint is wishing the food was hotter.

It is my 4th time at this hotel and I see it as my second home beautiful setting delicious food amazing entertainment and wonderful staff.

The food was great, plenty of variety for a weeks stay with different themed nights.

There is plenty of food choices, my partner is a fussy eater and he came back with a plate full of various foods each time, to which he thoroughly enjoyed!

Good job we didn’t mind a beer as that was ok (Efes)  the cake shop and coffee were very nice after a hard day in the sun…
We bought bags and Jewellery from the shops on site all good prices 
The staff were all helpful and very friendly,  Beth the Tui rep was very good and welcoming..

The food was great, plenty of variation each day - i wasn't fussy

Food lovely and great variety 
Rooms very comfortable and amazing views
Beach  very spacious.

The drinks are good plenty of cocktails and kids mocktails they serve effes larger wuch I found to be realy smooth and diddnt have one hangover from a fair few during the day and night plenty of spirts and fizzy drinks bottles of water all day even before the 10am opening of the bar the ice coffees are a must there's a beech bar pool bar and a lobby bar with a massive outside for drinks.

The food was the best meal we had and so much of it!!

Bartenders trying to do the best for my cocktails as from my opinion that cocktails wasn't brilliant .

We had the fish and Turkish a la cartes which were by the beach and enjoyed both equally.

The food was lovely with plenty of different options each day, all the staff are very hard working and polite especially Ozan.

I’d recommend going to topkap or Pinocchios for food.

A show is put on every evening, easy watching and and all great performers.

All staff are on hand at any moment to deal with any issues especially the entertainment team.

I’ll miss the entertainment team so much especially bobby David, Rio and Billy, their daily entertainment has made it a great first trip to turkey for me, so many laughs.

The staff are so welcoming and kind and are always at your service, and the Animation team are 10/10.

The entertainment staff are fantastic, particularly David who was very friendly and welcoming.

The animation team do a good job of keeping everyone entertained and are the only staff I saw smiling and interacting with customers.

The animation team were amazing too - Dimples, Bobby and David kept us laughing all day long.

So big
The maids kept my room clean 
The lady in public relations very helpful to any needs
Mustafa on the outside part of restaurant was so helpful polite and friendly 
The man in the beach bar on his own was quick and smiling 
And lastly Billie and the animation worked very hard 
Will definitely come back

Everything was as expected, entertainment was varied with lots for everyone.

David one of the entertainers is absolutely amazing!

Had a great time favourite part was the animation team especially David!

Entertainment is great both in the amphitheater and beach bar.

Love the entertaining team David ,Rio,Bobby, Billy and of course ,,Dimples".

The hotel's evening entertainment was short

The night time entertainment was really good with the fire show and foam party being the highlights for me.

Finally, the toilets in the downstairs reception area smell pretty bad as there is no door to the area.

The food at the restaurants was disgusting even the cats wouldn’t eat it!

If you really hate smoke, go somewhere else.

though because on one visit they didn’t smell and this is probably due to them recently having a cleaning visit.

Sewage smell in bathrooms - due to the mess up with rooms and being moved, we saw 6 rooms - everyone stank of sewage in the bathroom.

Toilets public ate absolutely filthy unsanitary. Beware!

- Towels absolutely stunk of smoke practically every day.

The food was absolutely disgusting, if you like flys for breakfast then this is the place for you!

We were being violently sick, had severe diarrhoea, hot & cold sweats and a fever.

The usual fake clothes and bags, a hairdresser, a tattoo studio, a jeweller’s and a gift/sweet shop/ cigarettes.

It needs a few tweaks, the biggest been the pool bar toilets, they are disgusting, dirty broken seat hanging off wall, broken tiles hit and miss with toilet roll, same in rooms that too.

Room on 7th floor, lovely view of the pool and sea BUT there was a constant smell of smoke in the corridor & often in our room, which made us cough.

The indoor swimming pool was very disgusting and dirty.

We felt the smoking and non smoking areas at the main restaurant are the wrong way round - non smokers have to walk through the smoking area to get from tables to the buffet which isn't pleasant, this put us off eating outside.

The tables has pvc runners on them when I adjusted it one day I noticed the back was covered in mold !

You can have freshly cooked eggs/omlettes/pancakes and waffles though.The food in the Italian a la carte was disgusting and we couldnt eat it.

The pool area toilets are filthy, the cleaning lady went in, slopped water on the floor and left toilet roll,  that was it no proper cleaning.

What we did not like the most that the lift was never cleaned and the showers in the spa were filthy.

The bedroom on arrival did smell very strongly of sewage

All staff are amazing and accommodating, especially entertainment team all very friendly.

You’ll never be bored in this place with all the daily activities with the best entertainment team, I’ve found a new love for darts while here!!

Staff are excellant and cant do enough for you.

I hope these 2 ladies get far in life and achieve the right goals in life and get far because they deserve it. Thanks.

Great sea views was on 10th floor and staff helpful and friendly

however as per previous reviews there is something magical about this place and the staff are extremely pleasant.We may return in the future and the views from the bedrooms are fabulous and unforgettable.Well done everyone at "The Venosa."
