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.

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.

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 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.

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

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.

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

It is surrounded by the main touristic attractions such as Hagia Sophia, Grand Bazaar, Blue Mosque and Basillica Cistern.

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

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.

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

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.

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).

From the moment we walked in the door the personal service was exceptional!

We later walked by around 10 am and there were large crowds of people waiting to get in, baking in the oppressive heat.

The location worked very well, allowing us to walk to everything we wanted to see and do.

Excellent location: 5 minutes walk to Sultanahmet, next to the hotel there are a lot of shops both with grocery and gift shops. 2.

Convenient location near the tram, from attractions, and in the evening you can walk along the nearby streets.

The hotel arranged for us a transfer from the airport The hotel has an excellent location - 5 minutes walk to Sultanahmet, next to the hotel there are grocery stores, restaurants, fruit shops, souvenir shops and a small market.

The area is pretty safe to walk around alone.

The hotel is in the center of the city so we traveled by walking mostly.

The hotel is located in the heart of Istanbul, a 3-minute walk to the most important sights of Istanbul.

Very convenient location, in the city center, near there is where to walk, many shops and cafes, not far from the main streets and metro..

It is located in the center of the old city so you can reach to main historical places by walking within minutes.

For those searching out excellent value genuine sunglasses head for Salih Bozkurt , Optik Magazi, Mahmutpasa a short walk from the Grand Bazaar.

Located in the heart of the city so you can walk to almost all the big sights.

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 location is great and the roof terrace has great views of the blue mosque and hagia Sophia.

A perfect location for the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia Palace, various spice markets/bazaars and the Sultan Ahmet Parki where you can pick up the ''hop on hop off bus' to tour the city.

Great view of Aya Sofia and the Blue Mosque from their rooftop terrace too.

It's at a great location near all the tourist attraction locations such as Hagia Sophia and Topkapi Place as well as the blue mosque and Grand Bazaar.

The  main USP of the hotel is its location which is very close to Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque and the other is their staff.

Literally five minutes on foot from the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, the hotel is ideally located.

It is literally around the corner from the blue mosque with stunning view from the rooftop.

The Blue Mosque is a five minute walk, shops and eateries as well.

The hotel is strategically located and we were minutes away from the Hagia Sophia, Sultanahmet Square, Blue Mosque, Bazaar, Airport Bus Terminal, etc.

Hotel Uyan is unbelievably well located, just off Sultanahmet Square, midway between the Haghia Sophia and the Blue Mosque.

This hotel is just a five minute walk from Hagia Sofia and the Blue Mosque.

Located in the heart of Sultanahmed, 2 mins walk to Blue Mosque and Aya Sofia.

We stayed at Uyan Hotel for 5 nights in the Blue Mosque Corner Room.

The hotel is just   aa few steps from the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia.

We really enjoyed the rooftop terrace, morning and night, with a panoramic view of the Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and the Bosporus/Sea of Marmara.

Uyan is a 3 minute walk from the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia and a 5 min walk from the Sultanahmed Trolly stop.

It’s clean, the room was spacious AND it’s a great location to the important sites in Istanbul including the Blue Mosque and Aya Sophia.

Hotel is located few minutes walk from the Blue Mosque and the Hagia Sofia.

Literally an around the corner walk to Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia.

Best thing with the hotel is its location and is very close to all Important tourist places like Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque etc.

We stayed here for 5 nights, I went for this hotel due to the location as advice on a first visit to Istanbul seemed geared towards staying in Sultanahmet area, in hind sight I wouldn't actually agree with that advice

The biggest highlight is the location (perfect) and the reception staff.

Perfectly located for the Topkapi, the mosques and bazaar.

In terms of location, it is fantastic and cannot be faulted.

Nice area, location very close to main attractions & tram routes.

The location is ideal close to sultanahmet place in the historical center of Istanbul.

Uyan Hotel is located in the old part of Istanbul (Sultanahmet) and there is consequently no noise from traffic or late-night bars and discos.

Pros: amazing location - walking distance to Sultanahmet area.

The only pro of this place is the location.

The hotel's location is perfect, very close to the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia.

Good price for a clean hotel in a top location.

Dont know how the small rooms look like ,

The single room I had was tiny with a very small bathroom and there was no view from the window.

but be aware there are small rooms as well so know what you're getting before you commit ;)

The rooms themselves are somewhat small and MAY not live up to your expectations of a 4 star hotel.

Rooms are a bit small and dark and breakfast not particularly great

Tiny hotel, and I opted for a small room which was small indeed

Though our room was on the small side (two single beds for two women travelers), it was on the first floor where there was a nice common area with a TV which we took advantage of.

I'd seen reports of tiny rooms in other hotels

My single room was small, as shown in hotel photos,

Just like many people have noted, the rooms are small

The first room I was given was so small that there was nowhere to open my small suitcase other than on the bed.

The first night, I was given a room which was tiny.

although the roof terrace view more than makes up for this.

Good breakfast with pleasant view.. Staff helpful & polite.

Take your earplugs if the morning (sunrise) call to prayer disturbs you.

The rooms are clean, the bathrooms are modern and the breakfast is great (you can't beat having breakfast with that view!).

When I booked, I saw very nice pictures including a view of the mosque.

Remember to explore the rooftop - you will get a good view of the surroundings.

but pleasing, sunny and (as above) with a good outlook.

Be aware that this proximity means even with earplugs you will likely wake up from the sunrise call to prayer.

You can enjoy a terrace with breathtaking views.

There is only one Blue Mosque Corner Room in the hotel (it has a nice view of the Blue Mosque) and we had taken care to book that specific room on the hotel's website several weeks before our arrival.

We had a room on the top (4th) floor with a view of the Bosphorous and partial view of the Blue Mosque.

Hotel Uyan is an excellent staying hotel located in the heart of the old city.Most of the monuments are in Sultanahmet square which is just about 3 to 4 minutes walk from the hotel.Very friendly and helpful staff.From the terrace can view Blue mosque and sofiya museum.Mr.Khadir at the reception is a friendly man ,Very helpful.As soon as we arrived he took us to the room,terrace and explained to us about how to go about the sight seeing.Thanks Mr.Khadir

Hotel Uyan is next to Sultanahmet Square, great view of Hagia & Blue Mosque from 3 floor rooms facing north and top of the hotel.

We had breakfast in the rooftop which offered an amazing view of the Blue Mosque and the Hagia Sofia from  the back side of the hotel and the sea at the other side.

but hind sight is a valuable commodity .Hotel was fine, clean, central, the airport taxi dropped us off at the end of the road and pointed vaguely, it seems they cannot actually go up to the door, seeing as there were many times on that drive I thought we would die as the driver spent the entire breakneck speed journey texting on his mobile, a short walk was not an issue.

Easy to walk anywhere for restaurants and sightseeing
and easy to relax in the hotel when not

Clean, comfortable hotel about 1 minute walk from Sultanahmet Mosque.

This place is in an incredible location--you can see both the blue mosque and the Hagia Sophia from the rooftop and walk to either one in a couple minutes.

everything can be reach from 5 to 30min walk.

5 mins walk to Blue mosque and Hagia Sofia.

It’s a 5 min walk from the Blue Mosque and Agia Sophia, lots of restaurants nearby.

The Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia are a mere 5 to 10 minute- walk away.

but we could have walked it in about 40 mins.

Great location - 5 minute walk from Hagia Sofia Museum, Blue Mosque & other tourist sites nearby.

It was maybe a 20 minute walk from Grand Bazaar.
