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.

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

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.

Only downside is the thin walls and street noise

I was escorted to my room in the elevator!

but it works, especially with three elevators.

I was unaware that elevators for one wing of the hotel are accessed by going down a few (3?) stairs.

They are all so welcoming and friendly and go that extra mile to make your stay a great one (one even saw the tea me at breakfast and quickly swapped it out for a much better one without any ask - it’s little gestures like this that really adds to the experience).

The waitressing staff are polite and very friendly-thank you Sukru for helping me with the trams & Fathime, Celine & Sukru for the friendly hello every morning.

I stay in this hotel several times because its my favorite in location every thing is near to it marmary  and the tram station and its  rooms very clean and comfortable with excellent breakfast  and very friendly staff

The hotel is located right in the market place, walking distances to the famous mosques and Grand Bazaar.

Sikerci Mansion Hotel in Istanbul is centrally situated to the Grand Bazaar and Harbour.

Sirkeci Mansion is a boutique hotel within walking distance from Istanbul’s main attractions such as Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace or Grand Bazaar.

The prices are cheaper compared to Grand Bazaar and they have a huge collection.

Located in a very convenient location in Old Istanbul within walking distance of the most famous historic sites, including Hagia Sophia and Grand Bazaar.

but you can walk (5-15 minutes) to all the highlights as Hagia Sofia, Topkapi Palace, Sultan Ahmetmoskee, Grand Bazaar, etc.

Great location, walking distance from Grand Bazaar, Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Bosporus, etc etc.

The hotel is in a fabulous location in the Old Town, minutes walk from all the major attractions, fabulous restaurants the Grand Bazaar and shopping.

It is perfectly situated near the tram or easy for walking to sites in the old city such as the Grand Bazaar, Hagai Sophia, the Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace and a bit further away to the Chora museum or across the Golden Horn to Galata Tower and Taksim Square.

but found that, with our experience, it wasn't reflective of  the many positive comments..  bit outdated interior and furniture but maybe preferable to some guests who looking for that.. small rooms with some with no views.

but remember your in Europe were most of the hotel rooms are small but not as small as Asia.

From the moment we walked in, we were genuinely and warmly greeted at the front desk by Araz.

He is happy to make reservations for pretty much anything, and he conducts in-depth tours (complementary to hotel guests, with culinary walk adding a nominal fee) that you should definitely join.

The hotel has a very convenient location for walking around all the great sights of Istanbul.

I found this place by accident as I was walking through the city.

You can also walk to the Spice Bazaar and Grand Bazzaar.

Would definitely stay here again as it is so well situated to walk to everything and a great array of restaurants nearby without having to wander too far in the evenings.

If you dont like to walk, you have a tram stop just about 50 meters away, and Marmary train station also close by.

Unbeatable location opposite the green Gulhane park and short walk to both tram and Marmaray stations, we lived in the atmospheric Sirkeci area

It was perfect experience,  hotel location is great , staff are very coperative abd speak english very well , rooms are comfortable  clean and have nice view .1 minute walking to Gulhana Tram ( T1) and 5 minutes walking to sirkeci Marmaray .

The manager of the hotel, Okay, is wonderful and provides some very interesting walking tours of the city which are free and provide a great insight into this culturally fascinating city.

Easy to walk around the late evening considering we were here only for a few hours

Such a wonderful experience 
The best location in the old city quite street yet walk to every important site !

its 10 minutes to the sultanahmet mosque square and the hagia sofia and 10 minutes walk from the grand bazar and the misri bazar and the eminuno station.

The location is central and easy to walk to the old Town major attractions.
