I have always felt that it is the quality of the staff in an organisation that defines the customer's experience. The staff we met at the White House were in the the top league. Wherever we encountered them and at whatever time we were greeted with warm smiles and we felt that our custom was valued. The location is perfect... More

We stayed at the nd of March for four nights. We felt welcome even before we arrived as we received a couple of communications from the hotel checking all details and organising airport pick up .On arrival, we were greeted with Turkish delight and a drink and this was the start of our experience of the helpfulness and hospitality of...

We stayed for four nights from 9th May. The hotel is right in the heart of Sultanahmet - within a short walk of virtually all the major sights and venues. Even the Bosphorus, where all the tour boats are based was only a twenty minute walk. The Spice Market ( a must-see) was also there. The nearest tram stop was... More

We stayed at the White House hotel in May.It is a wonderful little boutique hotel, tucked in a busy street just behind the Basilica Cistern.The best part of the hotel:the wonderful staff, and its close location to all the major sights!The room was compact, and our room faced the road , so it was a bit noisy, especially from the...

We had a lovely three night stay at the White House hotel while in Istanbul celebrating a friend’s 30th birthday. The room rate was excellent value for money, booked through www.booking.com staying in the most central location of Sultanahmet! Shortly after making the booking, the hotel contacted me to thank me for booking and to offer a complimentary airport transfer.... More

We stayed here for 3 nights and stayed due to feed back on Trip Advisor. Usually I go for 5* hotels, so was slightly disappointed with the size of the room, cramped conditions, and lack of view, but having said this, the staff bend over backwards to help, and being slap bang in the centre of town makes it worth...

White House Hotel is in the heart of the old town area. Hidding in a side street from the Divan Yolu, it is quiet and private, yet, you can walk to Aya Sofia and Blue Mosque in less than 2 minutes. The staffs are friendly and curtious. They greet you with tea or wine while waiting to check in and... More

All the staff are so friendly and eager to help it’s difficult to get even mildly irritated over anything! The location is perfect – on a quiet street, 5 mins walk from Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and Basilica Cistern, 10 mins walk from Topkapi Palace and Grand Bazaar, 15/20 mins from Spice Bazaar. Restaurants just round the corner! (Don’t... More
