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

Just steps away from the historic heart of the city: It took just 5 minutes to reach the Blue Mosque, the hagia sofia, the Basilica Cistern.

It is close to the Haghia Sophia, Blue mosque and Basilica cistern.

The location is perfect 3 mins walks to Blue Mosque, Haghia Sophia and Basilica Cistern.

Walking distance to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and the Basilica Cistern.

This hotel is very close to Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern, Topkapi Palace and tram station if you want to go to Taksim Square, Galata Tower.

Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern, markets, ferries, restaurants  all within easy walking distance so it was a great location for our first visit.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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 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).

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.

Breakfast buffet on the rooftop was more than adequate-lots of choices with great views of the city.

The location, view from the roof and owner/staff were amazing.

We kinda had a view from the balcony--made up for by going up from our 4th floor to the 5th.

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

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

The roof top view of the Hagia Sofia was breathtaking.

Lovely views from Rooftop, Our standard double room was extremely comfortable, clean and spacious for Old city standards.

View of the Bosphorus and the Haghia Sophia!!!

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

We stayed at the Ada Hotel Istanbul one-bedroom apartment for about 20 days.

2) one bedroom apartment is big enough and full equipped 
3) every day cleaning and changing of towels and bed linens 
4) very quiet , even there is a busy street around you can’t hear the noise inside !

We took a One bedroom apartment with sea view.

We were coming from a 1 bedroom apt from Nashville and felt right at home here. 3.

What made our stay most enjoyable is the nicely decorated, beautiful one-bedroom apartment we got, with great amenities (including free international calls) and the hospitality delivered by the owner, Dr. Sumengen, himself.

We had two spacious one-bedroom apartments for 5 people.

Location is in the centre of Sultanahmet (Old City) close to the Arasta bazaar, the grand bazaar, Hagia Sophia, Basilica cistern, and the main tram lines which connect to Galata, Karaköy, Taksim, etc.

The Basilica Cistern and the TopKapi Palace are a further 5-7 minutes away by walk.

20 mins from Ataturk airport, in the middle of the Old City (Sultanahmet), 5 minutes’ walk from the most popular Istanbul sights; the Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Ayasofia (Hagia Sofia), Hurrem Sultan's Baths, Grand Bazaar, Spice Bazaar, Basilica Cistern and loads of shopping – I suggest the Arasta bazaar next to the Blue Mosque, which is smaller and less intense than the Grand Bazar.

The Hippodrome, Blue Mosque, Haga Sofia Basilica Cistern, the trolley, and many many restaurants are right there.

Blu Mosque, Hagia Sofia, Topkapi Palace, Basilica Cistern, Gran Bazar), we've been accomodated in a separate building 50 meters far away from the hotel composed by 5 suites with all the best finishings (full equipped kitchen, washing machine & dryer, ceiling air conditioning, wide screen TV with home theater system, balcony terrace).

but its location is excellent, just a few minutes walk from major attractions of Istanbul, the Blue Mosque, the Topkapi Palace, the Hippodrome, the Basilica Cistern, Cemberlitas (Column of Constantine), Hagia Sofia and a bit further to the Grand Bazaar and transport by tram to other attractions.

This hotel is in an ideal location in Sultanahmet, only 5-10 minutes walk from the major sights (Aya Sofia, Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern, Topkapi Palace).

Location: It is located just few foot steps away from all major historic sites of the city (Blue Mosque, Hague Sofia, Basilica Cistern, Top Kapi Palace etc.

Location is 5 minutes walk from Sultanahmet and most attractions are also within easy walking distance - Hippodrome, Grand Bazaar, Basilica Cistern, Hagia Sofia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Arasta Bazaar, etc.

The location is so convenient that you can walk to all the major attractions in Istanbul - It is just a minute away from Hippodrome and Blue Mosque.. 5 minutes to Basilica Cistern and 10 minutes to Grand Bazaranother,10 minutes to Hagia Sophia and TopKapi Palace.

My last hotel in Istanbul (for business) charged me for every local call.

but a nicer, larger room than I had reserved, at no extra charge.

Room:
One queen bed, a cot was also provided at no extra charge.

•  Water in the fridge is only charged at cost – no mark up.

When you pick up your phone in any room, you are on a direct line to the US or Canada for no extra charge.

He didn't even charge us for the extra breakfast we had.

We were also not charged for the two bottles of water from the fridge.

My trip was a last-minute decision and I found some of the hotels (if you book directly) asking for credit card details either by fax (I don't have access to a fax machine) or by email (not secure and I wasn't comfortable with it).

Water, as in all Istanbul, is not drinkable (or safe for brushing teeth), so it was necessary to use bottled water provided for in room (and we were charged street prices for it).

Also, unless you have the business card of the hotel w/ you, it will be hard for a cab driver to find the hotel.

but he insisted that my husband and I take this room at no extra charge.

Dr and Mrs Sumengen and their children (a young man and a young woman) are Istanbul's finest calling card.

On Monday, after the weekend guests had left, the host offered to upgrade our room at no additional charge.

The food is always fresh, very tasty, with a wide range of dishes, numerous ready-made Turkish dishes are served for guests, freshly cooked omelets, purees, toasts in batter, burek with cheese, pancakes, and in addition - Turkish coffee.

The Breakfast has about 4 varieties of eggs in various forms - omelet ( they bring to your table ), eggs, kofte, olives, breads, etc.

5 ) there is a variety for breakfast every morning, delicious Turkish pie and omelet served on the table while you can enjoy a beautiful view of Marmara sea !

Variety of egg dishes (omelets, sunny side up, scrambled), french toast, granola, Turkish meze's, variety of fruits, sausages and meats, cereal, variety of cheese, jams, honey, filtered coffee, tea, and much more.

It offers an opulent selection of turkish dishes and continental breakfast components - you can easily combine your beloved Müesli with some exotic aubergine dishes, sausages or omelets.

but there were several annoyances such as a faucet that was totally wobbly or a very small shower that was leaking on the floor.

but some if you are a very fussy traveler, you might think the elevator too tiny or the shower a bit small (then again, other rooms even have a jacuzzi!).

Bathroom was quite small seeing the room size

The hotel rooms are small and the bathroom no more than a corridor.

The bedroom included a hot tub (which neither of us used), and the bathroom  was small

but the room was very small and pokey and one bed was in a seperate tiny room so it didn't suit us as we were 3 friends who had all come from different countries to meet up for a weekend away.

We declined the room so we were shown a small room back at the hotel.

Rooms were small as they are in this area.

We also stayed 2 nights in the regular room which was a tad small as all rooms have a jacuzzi tub in the room which makes the rom even smaller.

The rooms are small, quaint, and traditional

Although the room was a little small there is another room right next to it that is much larger and has the same great view.

Although the rooms are tiny (we had the regular sized bedroom)  - they are superbly clean.

We stayed for8 nights in one bedroom apartment.It had a great sea view with balcony.The rooms were very clean and comfortable.Everything was perfect.Amazing breakfast was made by two gorgian ladies (magda and maya)that were so nice,friendly and helpful.Two young men in reception were very responsible and helpful.Location was good.I absolutely recommend Ada hotel .

Provided with a large TV with conventional channels and Netflix .Everything we needed was there like dishwasher ,washing machine,clothes dryer,fridge and all necessary utensils.The view from the bedroom was just wonderful during the day and night.

We had the view of the sea from the bedroom and from the tv room we had the street view which were both spectacular.

The old Mosque and rooftop breakfast area was part of our view out the front balcony and the anterior balcony, off the master bedroom overlooked the Marmara Sea with incredible sunsets.

The room was just right, had a king size bed, en-suite and had a view facing towards the sea, albeit some distance away,

We booked a suite overlooking the ruins with a view of the sea.

From the reception to the breakfast wich is so so so yummy and on the terrace with a view.

The sea view rooms having "the real sea view".

Breakfast has a beautiful view and the food is very good.

The sea views of the Golden Horn are sensational.

The breakfast area has great views of the sea.

I had a very restful stay with Ada in the most perfect little location of old city Istanbul - Views from the breakfast room are wonderful and by balcony view also was impressive.

Great views out to the water, nice cozy rooms.

The restaurant of the hotel is on the roof, so you have a very nice view when you have your breakfast.

We stayed in a Deluxe Suite with a beautiful sea view from the window.

Their rooftop breakfast with a beautiful and relaxing view towards the sea (and overlooking a charming neighborhood mosque).

I've also stayed in the Sea View room with the jacuzzi tub.

We could see the Bosphorus from our window and from the breakfast terrace on the top floor the view was tremendous!

Close, at walking distance, to all main sightseeing points, with a wonderful view from rooms and breakfast up floor.

I had booked a suite with a Balcony and sea view.

Rooms are wide and have jakuzi & big screen TV, breakfast fresh and girls making omlet for you in a second, hotel was clean, upper floor rooms has amazing view.

Location was spot on, central and within walking distance to many attractions nearby such as The Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia, Basilica Cistern, Grand Bazar and many more.

The hotel was within easy walking distance of the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, Basilica Cistern, and many nice restaurants.

Rast Hotel is just a few blocks from the Blue Mosque and Aya Sofia, as well as Topkapi Palace and the Basilica Cistern.

The hotel is conveniently located between Sultanahmet/Hagia Sophia/Topkapi/Basilica Cistern on one hand and the Grand Bazar on the other and is therefore close to two tram stops.

The location is perfect for Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Grand Bazaar, Basilica Cistern,Topkapi Palace all within a 10 min walking distance and a 30 min walk to Egyptian spice markets plus the sea shore.

Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern, Grand Bazaar,, all just walking distance from the hotel, probably 5 mins walk.. so its in the prime location.

Sometimes a very bad smell comes from the bathroom.

Shower and bathroom very small in standard room..

Our bathroom was quite small and the shower cubicle was minuscule.

Shower broken, light doesn't work, noisy AC, very small toilet, old room, under-staffed, no help with luggage, rude receptionist, over-billed laundry. .

but derty room uncomfortable bathroom nobody to serve you after 5pm
Anyway if you don't look for something special it is ok

However, our room may be in need of a revamp as it looked slightly outdated and quite old, so would the bathroom.

Some parts are old and worn and the bathroom,

Well the double room we were given wasn't very impressive, shower was small, bed was king bed

but was a little old appearing and there was mold in my shower at the base :( Pretty close to main attractions though!

but clean except that there was quite a bit of mould around the base of the shower.

The only downside was that the wallpaper near the door was somewhat scratched up and the shower had no soap holder or place to put shampoo.

Bathrooms are small, with shower above bath.

The rooms are not decorated in a modern style, rather an older, Ottaman style and the bathrooms are on the small side.

Great location for the sights and we were upgraded to a beautiful room overlooking The Blue Mosque & Hagia Sophia.

It’s in a perfect location for visiting the main attractions, it staff are polite and very helpful, the breakfast provided a great choice and the room we had was perfect, clean, large and nicely air conditioned.

Fantastic hotel with excellent views and very near to all major locations in Istanbul 

The rooms are very nicely decorated with all the little extras that you need in your room

Very nice and cosy comfortable rooms and very good beds 

Fantastic reception service.

The location also offers one of the best views of the main mosques at an affordable rate.
