Calido, servicial, comodo, limpio, rico desayuno, que mas pedir para una excelente estadia?
Pros:

La atencion del personal, desde el dueño, hasta las personas que te esperaban en el ingreso cada vez que entraba, con una sonrisa, un te, o lo que se te antoje. Ubicado a minutos de distancia caminando de los principales puntos turisticos. Zona amigable y repleta de restaurantes, bares, supermercaditos. Cerca de parada de tranvia, excelente medio de locomocion para recorrer la ciudad.

Cons:

nada. todo mas de lo esperado.

Best personalized stay experience.
Pros:

If you are visiting Istanbul, stay here. The service, the location, and the sheer effort from the owner and staff were nothing short of incredible. The welcome we received upon arrival—and every single time we walked back through the doors—was so genuinely warm and awesome.

It’s a boutique hotel, so while it doesn't have endless amenities, it offers something much better: perfection. The location is an absolute dream for sightseeing, literally just a short walk away from the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. Outstanding experience from start to finish!

Cons:

Everything was perfect given the cost and the space available

Pros:

Location is the best in old town! Hotel staff is very friendly and helpful! Very elegant and clean hotel. Bed is very comfy, 2 types of pillows, so soft bedding, beautiful room design, great breakfast! Very clean place! Roof top terrace has all the day free coffee. For sure, we know our the best place to stay in Istanbul for next time. And it was a nice sweet gift on the time of check out, so lovely.

We very much enjoyed staying at the White House hotel and would recommend it to our family and friends.
Pros:

The property and rooms are very clean. All major attractions are within a 15-20 min walk. Younes (sp?) at the front desk was especially friendly and helpful. He even had someone walk us to the Turkish baths so we wouldn’t get lost. The entire staff was wonderful.

Wonderful stay
Pros:

We had a wonderful experience at the White House hotel. The staff was exceptional. Yunis greeted us on arrival with a lovely juice and Turkish delight and gave us a nice introduction to the hotel. Also, Yunis made some great restaurant suggestions, information on the tram etc… Yunis was a wealth of information and will assist you in anyway possible.
Also, wonderful Turkish breakfast, Meral made delicious omelets and Hasan helped make coffee, carry our luggage and was always very accommodating with a smile. Great location for walking around old town.

Cons:

Nothing

Perfercto
Pros:

El desayuno es excepcional. Muy variado tanto de salado y dulce. Hay que hacer una mencion especial de la miel. Traerla en la tabla de un panal te hace ver que es excepcional. El baño tambien me gusto, buena presion de agua y tres modalidades de ducha que la hacian muy agradable.

Cons:

El tamaño de la habitación era algo justo. Creo que si hubieran puesto dos bancos para las meletas hubiese sido mejor pero nada grave. Se que hay habitaciones más grandes. La decoración para la llegada nos pareció algo excesiva pero nos lo tomamos con humor.

Pros:

Very polite people, the waiter was kind and attentive. Upon check-out, we were given gifts—Turkish sweets. It was very pleasant and unexpected. The atmosphere is truly very warm, friendly, and natural. I recommend it. Good location, with access to the old city attractions. Therefore, I absolutely recommend it for the price. We are greeted with a welcome drink. It is an orange juice with an unusual taste, but quite tasty. It is probably not actually orange juice, but some kind of orange-flavored drink. It’s good

Cons:

The only issue is that the shower drain needs to be cleaned. The shower drain works very poorly, so it needs to be monitored, as it may overflow over the edges.

Uma experiência de Luxo de Classe Mundial
Pros:

Depois de viajar extensivamente pela Europa, Ásia e Oriente Médio, posso dizer com confiança que o White House Hotel Istanbul oferece uma das melhores experiências de hospitalidade que já tivemos.
Desde o momento em que chegamos, o nível de profissionalismo, elegância e calor humano genuíno foi simplesmente extraordinário. A equipe opera no padrão dos principais hotéis de luxo do mundo, mantendo o charme sincero e a hospitalidade que tornam Istambul tão especial.
A localização do hotel é imbatível — perfeitamente situado no coração do centro histórico de Sultanahmet, a poucos passos de distância da Basílica de Santa Sofia, da Mesquita Azul e do Palácio Topkapi.
Nosso quarto estava impecável, lindamente decorado, silencioso e excepcionalmente confortável. Cada detalhe refletia qualidade e cuidado. A experiência do café da manhã foi extraordinária, oferecendo especialidades locais frescas e um serviço impecável em uma atmosfera deslumbrante.
O que realmente eleva este hotel a um nível internacional de primeira classe são as pessoas. Toda a equipe vai consistentemente além das expectativas para criar uma estadia personalizada e inesquecível. A atenção deles à satisfação do hóspede é comparável à dos melhores hotéis boutique de luxo do mundo.

Cons:

Eu goste de tudo.
