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.”

Best hotel, fantastic staff, greatly location, best holiday.

The staff at the boutique style Hotel Ibrahim Pasha were all fantastic. They could not do enough for their guests. The rooms were neat, well laid out and it didn't feel like the typical hotel room, much more comfortable and felt spacious with a nice balcony. The roof terrace provided a clear view of the nearby Blue Mosque. Information, tours, and history was all provided eagerly by the staff, who helped us organise a fantastic day trip to Gallipoli, with an awesome guide once we arrived. I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough. We will definitely be telling our friends, and I highly recommend staying here for a great holiday or stopover. The hotel is walking distance from many attractions, such as grand bazaar, spice market, ferries to the Asian side, mosques, the easy to use tram service, and amazing architecture. Nearby are many restaurants and bars, but far enough away that it's quiet at the hotel.

Nothing. Everything was as good as could be.

Perfect location! Great friendly staff!

Location is excellent! Just in front of the Blue Mosque. Perfect to walk around, explore, come back for a rest and then set out again in the afternoon. Such friendly staff at the reception - who guided and provided so much detail that I havent even experienced at a 5 star hotel concierge service. Absolutely amazing staff. Dont forget to ask the staff for all the shopping, sightseeing recommendations. Conveniently located near the Sultanahmet tram stop.

Rooms and the bathroom are a tad bit small. The breakfast could do with more local turkish food options to provide an even more suitable stay. But really, these are small points. Overall, wouldnt think twice about booking again.

Hospitality from the moment we arrived. Cozy, clean boutique hotel with beautiful interior design and rooftop terrace you can enjoy with complimentary tea and coffee throughout your stay or an afternoon homemade cake and cookies. Breakfast beautifully displayed. We were excited to come back after a long day of exploring, that tells a lot. Thank you for everything. :)

Wonderful Stay at this Lovely Hotel

I traveled with my wife on an excursion to Istanbul. This hotel is a very charming, cozy and eclectic and in a perfect location near the Blue Mosque in the heat of old town. The staff were terrific and very helpful and a pleasure to talk to, they made the stay extra special. The room was nicely decorated and very comfortable. The breakfast provided a great start for our day. We especially enjoyed the 4pm tea and cookies/cakes and the rooftop terrace. A fine hotel you will love it !

All good !!

Boutique hotel, great staff and great location.

Excellent location on a quiet road less than 5 minutes from the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. Staff very helpful and full of advice on what to see and where to eat. Good value with lovely library of books and nicely decorated rooms. A really lovely boutique hotel with a lot of character. The staff made our stay stress free and were so helpful.

Nice stay in Istanbul

It was perfectly located but the room though freshly painted had wear and stains/cracks in the bathroom. It was generally well clean but found a hair in my bed on first day, on top of the shower and on carpet. So that is always a bit off putting. The breakfast and service were excellent. The bed mattress is way too soft. My bf had back and hip problems one day because of it. But covers were super comfortable.

Impeccable service from arrival to departure, location is right in the center of all the big attractions. Great breakfast. Felt amazing to get back to our hotel after a long day of sightseeing and having a coffee and some Turkish delights in front of the fireplace. Do upgrade for a bigger room, we have had 2 different rooms and the small upgrade makes a world of difference in room size and comfort.

An incredible stay in a beautiful hotel!

The hotel is beautifully decorated and feels like you can relax as soon as you walk in, with fireplaces and sweet corners there is always tea or a beverage to enjoy. The rooftop is stunning to start or end the day and the beds in our room was SO comfortable. The staff were all so kind and had great recommendations. The breakfast is amazing and had so much variety and was so thoughtful with local foods.

Nothing, loved it all!

Perfect location, super friendly helpful staff, really comfy room. Definitely staying there again.

The staff couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful. We felt very well taken care of the whole time. The location was so central that we were able to go by foot to all of the sites we wanted to see. And spending New Years Eve on the rooftop terrace with fireworks going off on all sides was absolutely magical. The room was beautifully decorated and cosy. And the breakfasts were very good. Lots of personal attention. Several rooms in the lobby to sit and relax. A fire going in the hearth. I am 100% staying there again.

There was nothing I didn't like. It was perfect.

Everything was great. Staff are attentive and helpful. The hotel is tastefully put together and located on a quiet alley right next to the Blue Mosque.

Rooms are small, but considering the value you get from every other aspect, it is a negligible issue. Even with the small rooms, I would not hesitate to book again.

Impeccable

Helped us arrange transportation to and from airport. It’s very close to the Blue Mosque and other attractions. Staff excellent, breakfast very good. Books everywhere, room was very small but didn’t feel too small, just cozy! It was more like a bed and breakfast than a hotel! Great ambiance on the first floor. Luxurious in a cozy way, within a beautiful building. Would stay there again and have already recommended to several people.

Only one thing: close the front doors when smoking outside - it creates a transom effect all the way to the fourth floor. Preferred the old book smell.

Great Place to stay in Istanbul

Great location & lovely staff

Not there fault but we used their taxi pick up from the airport twice & both times the taxi agent at the board is too lazy to take you down to your taxi straight away & waits for some other clients to turn up which on our 1st trip was just under an hour, the next time after 15 I started to complain a lot & he walked us to our pickup!!! So personally I would use an uber which is half the price & more efficient.

What a gem! We absolutely loved our stay in this very special hotel. The room was very comfortable and spacious, with an amazing view from.the balcony of the Blue Mosque. We loved the coffee and tea on offer, and the breakfast was really good. Everything was very tastefully decorated, and we loved that the hotel is not very big and feels like a calm oasis in the city. The fireplace in the lobby was also a lovely touch, we enjoyed sitting by it and reading books from the impressive library.

We liked everything! We'll be back!
