A cozy and welcoming place where you feel safe and at home.
Pros:

A charming, traditional old house lovingly run by a wonderful couple who make you feel right at home. The hotel is perfectly located within walking distance of Istanbul’s most famous attractions. Despite the lively streets and crowds during the day, the atmosphere becomes wonderfully peaceful in the evening. Our room was cozy and had a lovely terrace, and the breakfast was traditional and delicious. Highly recommended! We will definitely return!

Pros:

Прекрасное расположение. Спокойная тихая улица, но при этом до площади Султанахмет 5 минут пешком. Завтрак -- "шведский стол", без изысков, но выбор вполне достаточный. Приятнейшие хозяева.

Cons:

В душе тесновато, но в таком старом здании сложно было бы выделить под него больше места. Зато приватный.

Gem in the Old City
Pros:

First and foremost, the family who own and operate this place are helpful and kind, offering true hospitality. They genuinely care about their guests. My room was small but clean and the bed was comfortable. Good hot water and great water pressure. Breakfast was fresh with lots of variety, very enjoyable. Located a 2 minute walk from Aya Sophia, bus stop, tram stop etc.

Cons:

The only downside here is noise, which is probably an issue for any hotel in Sultanahmet. The neighborhood is lively, so there is street noise and the early morning call to prayer. I slept just fine with ear plugs.

Pros:

Nous avons passé une nuit au Berk Guest house. Personnel très sympathique et accommodant. Accueil très chaleureux, merci.
Hotel très bien placé tout proche de plusieurs points touristiques.
Bon petit déjeuner sur une belle terrasse.
Nous avions choisi la chambre proche de la réception donc plus bruyante mais cela était très bien indiqué sur l’annonce donc aucune surprise et honnêtement la nuit a été très calme.

Cons:

Salle de bain un peu petite

Душевно и тепло!!!! Обязательно вернусь, рекомендую!
Pros:

Душевное гостеприимство хозяев, расположение в самом центре города, все в шаговой доступности.Великолепная обстановка на завтраках, как в гостях у родителей. Сделают турецкое кофе для вас! Вечером модно посидеть и полюбоваться на крыше. В номере чисто, все необходимое есть.

Такого не было.

Pros:

Самый центр Стамбула, что уже здорово. Старое здание с историей. Очень колоритно. Номер действительно поразил размерами, очень просторный. Ознакомиться с завтраком не пришлось, рано уехали. Заселение прошло быстро без вопросов. Рекомендуем.
