Expert reviews

Lonely Planet review:

“Cultural tomes are piled in reception and throughout the 24 rooms of this exemplary design hotel, which also has a comfortable lounge with open fire, and a terrace bar with knockout views of the nearby Blue Mosque.”

Fodors review:

“What was once the home of an extended Armenian family offers comfortable, stylishly decorated rooms with vintage-looking wood and leather furniture, colorfully patterned Turkish carpets and textiles, and contemporary Middle Eastern touches.”

Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Istanbul.

Frommers review:

“Conjure up images of a flickering open fire, comfy sofas, shelves stacked with copious quantities of books, and an endless supply of fresh tea and homemade cookies. No, it’s not your own living room, it’s the ground floor of this stylish yet dignified Old City hotel.”

Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Istanbul.

Telegraph review:

“With a stylish roof terrace, comfortable rooms, friendly staff and excellent breakfasts, this hotel in the heart of Istanbul is popular with discerning city-breakers. It’s a short walk across the former chariot racing arena to the Blue Mosque.”

Exceptional

Not a fancy hotel, but a lovely boutique hotel. Very clean, with the most comfortable bed and pillows, great air conditioning and all the staff are fantastic. They could not have been more pleasant or helpful. We had an amazing 4 nights. You cannot beat the location or the roof terrace. Highly recommend this hotel.

Breakfast area a bit cramped, but nothing they could do about this.

Elegant and cosy hotel

Istanbul Gem!

This lovely and intimate hotel was located close to many cultural and historical attractions. The tram was a five minute walk from the hotel. The hotel was located on a quiet street but only a few minute walk to many shops and restaurants. There was a lovely rooftop/bar with amazing views of the Blue Mosque. I stayed in the Deluxe Double room which I highly recommend since the regular rooms appeared to be very small. The Deluxe Double had a nice sitting area and a private balcony with a table and chairs. The water pressure in the shower was strong and consistent. The daily breakfast spread was lovely and delicious and consisted of local specialties, including Turkish bread, honey, jams (rose jam), cheese, fruit and eggs. The staff was the best staff at any hotel that I have stayed. They were warm, helpful, friendly and genuinely engaged with the visitors. The hotel has personally prepared an amazing map of the city for its guests which I found to be extremely helpful.

Amazing hotel would definitely come back.

Lovely, small hotel with really nice personal touches. Super friendly and helpful staff. Appreciated the fact you could ask for a tea or coffee any time of day. Great location in the heart of the city. Lovely traditional decor. Lovely breakfast. And best of all the spectacular roof terrace with Blue Mosque view- what a place to enjoy a chilled drink from the bar!

It was a little noisy at night with some sort of road works outside and the bed was a little soft for us.

Superb, friendly, wonderful

Very stylish and very friendly, this charming hotel has a lot to offer. The staff are all lovely and helpful. Breakfast is generous and tasty and coffee and tea flow all day. The rooftop terrace and bar has superb views and the location at the edge of the Hippodrome is unmatched. I recommend this wholeheartedly for a touch of comfortable luxury.

Comfortable luxurious hotel with fantastic view of Blue Mosque and walking distance to main sights!

Fabulous location - walking distance to all attractions, close to tram, yet very quiet side street. Fantastic views of Blue Mosque from roof terrace

The first double we had was small, with a tiny Bath. It felt cramped though comfortable. The last night we were upgraded to a spacious double with a great bath, balcony and wardrobe.

Fantastic hotel in a great location

This is a gem of a property in a fantastic location, so close to some of Istanbul's key sights. The staff were wonderful - full of advice and very happy to have a chat and help with all our needs re restaurants and directions. The breakfast was lovely and the roof top terrace was fabulous - just the spot for a coffee in the morning or a drink in the evening.

We stayed in three different rooms as we retuned to Istanbul a few times during our holiday - some of the rooms and bathrooms are very small so be careful to check what you're booking. On the flip side, the larger rooms are spacious and include a lounge and a separate wardrobe area for bags which is great.

Turkish vibes in the hart of the old city

The cosy vibe of the hotel also the staff are very attentive to accommodate your needs. Even if we checked out when we returned for our bags to go to the airport they offered as water and drinks.

The rooms is quite small, and the shower if you are not a small person is hard to be able to fit comfortably

Beautiful historic property in the very heart of Istanbul

The roof terrace at Ibrahim Pasha is just about my favourite place in Istanbul. Overlooking the Blue Mosque and looking out at the Bosphorus there is no better place to have a drink watching the sun go down. Staff are delightful and helpful. The rooms very comfortable and nicely done. We had a lovely quiet balcony for some extra private space.

With the location right in the heart of Sultanamet which is perfect you have to battle diabolical traffic and narrow lanes to get there by car.

Absolute Gem. Like staying with friends.

The staff are amazing. Friendly and helpful. The location is perfect. A few steps from the Hippodrome and a few more to the Blue Mosque. The hotel is really cozy with comfortable furnishings and lots of little places to relax with tea and cake and a book while you catch your breath. And last but not least there is a lovely rooftop bar with views of the Blue Mosque.
