Hotel's Favourite
This was our first time visiting Istanbul. Upon check-in, the staff was beyond friendly, and was eager to please, throughout the entire stay, everyone was very friendly, and never made us feel that we were inconveniencing them by asking questions. During check-in, they offered refreshments and made the check-in process easy. They also gave us local good luck charms that was quite sweet. They also decorated our room for our first visit as a couple. The room was not necessarily large, but was decent size and great value for the money. The shower was amazing, that water pressure is no joke! They have a rooftop terrace that is open 24/7 with a coffee machine that can make anything from espresso to a cappuccino. They also offer a breakfast buffet that, typically in hotels are quite poor quality/generic, however, this one was very fresh, and most products were local. As a well, seasoned traveler, when I see a number one rated hotel, I usually prepare ourselves to get bombarded by the team, to leave a five star review, however, they only mentioned it once! Upon check out, then, sure that we were beyond happy, and they even contacted our local transfer a company as they were running late and offer to find other alternatives, if need be. We even met the owner and general manager, who gave us a sincere thank you, and offered handshake. You don’t typically find that a lot nowadays where general managers don’t interact with Airgas. Overall, I would say this is a great value and a hidden gem. A great location with walkable to just about anything in the old town District. It is about an hour drive from the new Istanbul airport, but that is not the locations fault. 10 out of 10 recommend…

Best hotel I have ever experience during all my trips! Staying there you have the opportunity of meeting an entire staff - owner included- who personally take care of everything you need - and also above and beyond. Excellent level of cleanliness of the room , lobby and terrace and excellent as well the location, which is a few minutes walking from the main attractions of the city - Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern , Topkapi Palace, Gulhane Park and Hagia Sofia. The kindness and friendliness of the staff and the caring to the guests is above and beyond any expectations, which I really didn’t find anywhere else, not even in five-star hotel. If I could give 10 stars instead of 5 to the service I would definitely do it. The rooftop is also one of the strengths of this beautiful building, and it’s where the exceptional breakfast is served. I loved the amazing variety of food in the buffet and moreover staff is open to meet any other requests for breakfast. Being a guest here you feel like home but pampered like a really special guest! I loved that the rooftop terrace is always open 24/7 to enjoy the amazing view and to have coffee or tea breaks either outdoor or indoor. A special mention to the exceptional waitress Bahar who created an awesome environment with her warm welcoming every morning and her professionality in meeting all our requests. The owner takes also a very good care of guests, along with his collaborators. Since the first moment you enter you can enjoy such a warm welcoming with drinks and Turkish delight , but you will be given a very nice gift upon your check-out. Cleanliness in all the room anc bathroom was flawless and really appreciated the amazing shower with massaging options. All the information are given to the guests about the places to visit and also they perform reservations for the guests to participate in different activities. Free water bottles are available at all times , all rooms have a fridge with minibar and heating/cooling system. Overall best hotel ever tried in my experience.…

Firstly, the customer service from each member of the staff was exceptional. They were all so kind and welcoming. We were welcomed with a delicious beverage, and a staff member help bring our things to the room. The room was cutely decorated. The rooms are a bit small but perfect for our needs and standard for Europe. The breakfast was delicious, and has a beautiful view of the hagia sofia, and the location cannot be beat within walking distance to major sights. Highly recommend staying here!

We very much enjoyed our stay at the White House Hotel. It is perfectly situated in the older part of Istanbul so it was an easy walk to see the sights (Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Hippodrome, Cisterns). Many great restaurants nearby as well. The room was beautiful, clean and spacious, the bed comfortable. We travel around the world and the friendly and professional service we received here was exemplary--from the hand written welcome note from the owner, to the restaurant recommendations from Kemar, the efficient housekeepers, the young man who escorted us to our room and the friendly woman who served us breakfast and told us a bit about Istanbul (we bonded over our love of F1 racing :) We plan to return to Istanbul and will stay at the White House hotel--highly recommend!!

We just returned from our awesome trip to Istanbul. The White House Hotel is great. The location is excellent, the staff are super helpful and very friendly, the breakfast is great! To give an example - I wanted to try a simit (a traditional type of bread), and asked the hotel staff about where I could buy one nearby. They were so kind that they actually went out and got me one so that I could try it at breakfast. I was very touched by their hospitality and wonderful service. A great boutique hotel! Highly recommend!

We really had the absolute best time at this beautiful boutique hotel in the heart of Sultanehmet. Literally mins away from most landmarks Mr Harun & his team have crafted an exceptional stay experience. From the lovely staff to the lovely food & beautiful terrace views we felt like we were at home. Mr. Mehmet, Bahar & Zeynep in the restaurant shared tips with us & we had such a lovely time getting to know them. Highly recommend this place! It's also spotless & hygenic. It's also mins away from some of the biggest hamams in Istanbul
