Hotel Ibrahim Pasha, Istanbul

Amazing location a stone’s throw from the Blue Mosque, very helpful and knowledgeable staff, excellent breakfast

The location can't be beat. The Blue Mosque is next door and all other sites in the old city are easily walkable. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The breakfast, afternoon tea and rooftop are a nice touch. The deluxe room on the third floor was a good size, comfortable, had decent light, and the shower had great water pressure. Historic charm with a prime location. We enjoyed our 4 night stay.

Great Location! Just steps away from the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia and more. However, the most special thing about this hotel however is the staff. They went out of their way to suggest restaurants, book hamams, and organize airport transfers. They were so kind and ready to help at all hours and the communication before arrival was excellent as they were always quick to respond. I would like to note that the linens and the comfort of the bed exceeded my expectations as they were very soft and of a high quality. Overall we were content with our 3 night stay.

We found this hotel through the Michellin Guide and I do think that being included in that guide comes with a certain level of attention to detail that should be upheld and could be slightly improved. For example, compared to the photos, I feel that the interior of the hotel was slightly worn out and could use an update - in our room the bathroom ceiling due to humidity was cracked and peeling. I also think the breakfast could be improved by having more tables available to guests as well as a more local offering (es. offering local turkish tea instead of lipton, turkish specialties and not only the basics, etc).

Lovely hotel in a great location. The rooms are small but cosy and very comfortable beds. Everything was impeccable and the staff were amazingly helpful, warm and did anything and everything to make sure your stay was memorable.
Breakfast was delicious.
The view from the upper terrace was breath-taking.

Ideally, bigger bedrooms and bathroom.

It was very homely and welcoming on arrival. I found the decor stylish and tasteful and spaces designed to be comfortable and promote relaxation. The location was perfect. A 5 minute walk to the main attractions of Istanbul and a variety of restaurants and nightlife. The staff are amazing. This is the best thing about this hotel. They are knowledgeable and so helpful. They are totally committed to ensuring everyone at the hotel gets the premium and unique experience of Istanbul. They really made the holiday a special experience.

Small room

The staff were all wonderfully friendly and helpful, from the front desk to breakfast. My room was small but was a fine size for one person. It was clean and comfortable and had everything one would need. The shower was hot and had very good water pressure. The location is excellent -- literally 2 minutes down the short hill to the Blue Mosque, 25 minutes to the bridge across to Karakoy, but quiet and set apart from the loudest areas of Sultanhamet.

Nothing! Everything was great. I will recommend it to everyone.

What an incredible stay in Istanbul! Our room was charming and comfortable with a little sitting area to relax in after long walks in the city. The beds were so cushy and comfortable! The traditional Turkish breakfast was fantastic with a vast array of selections that appealed to everyone’s tastes. There is a little terrace at the top of the stairs with an incredible view of the Blue Mosque literally across the way. Staff will bring you complimentary coffee or tea if you wish as you relax there. All of the staff spoke perfect English and were polite, warm, and attentive to our needs. An added bonus was the complementary snacks, coffee and tea provided every afternoon and evening. Many of the guests (us included) took advantage of the comfortable common areas to read and relax in front of the fireplaces to wind down from the day. We can’t recommend the Hotel Ibrahim Pasha highly enough!

Fantastic location within very easy reach of all major sites - 2 minute walk to the Blue Mosque , 5 minute walk to Haga Sofia and Topkapi Palace, easy reach of the trams and walking distance to the grand bazaar etc

The staff were all welcoming and helpful. The breakfast was plentiful and delicious and afternoon tea was an unexpected bonus.

We loved our stay here.

Controlling the room temperature wasnt easy.

Excellent clean hotel in good location with delightful team who were very helpful

Nothing

Comfortable beds, nice interior decor and very clean fabulous central location

All was good

Very helpful and responsive staff.

The location in the Old Town was excellent so we could walk to Basilica Cistern, Blue Mosque, Sophia Hagia and Topkapi Palace plus many more areas.

All the team that we spoke to were very helpful

The hotel had a lovely afternoon tea and cakes from 4pm-6pm which was a treat and a chance to sit down before more sight seeing.

We got the metro from Istanbul airport, which admittedly took a while as the interchanges involved a fair bit of walking, but it was around £2 each. much cheaper than a taxi (£35-40) or hotel transfer (£65-70).

I like the style of the decor in the lobby. We visited in March when it was cold and they had a lovely fire in the lobby area.

The hotel had an issue with a boiler breaking when we stayed so for one evening and one morning g there was no hot water and I wasn’t brave enough to shower in cold water. But they got this fixed within 24 hrs which was good.

This is my second time to stay at Ibrahim Pasha. It would be difficult to beat the location. Also, the room is charming.

The breakfast was perfect. A lot of choice and everything presented beautifully. Very welcome coffees/tea and freshly baked cakes and pastries served late afternoon. Plenty of comfortable sofas in front of the fire. Very cosy.

Best position , second time we have stayed here -very lovely design feel .

We had a great room with a small exterior porch with table and chairs, separate bath and large organizer closet, location was the best right by Blue Mosque and tramcar, very peaceful no city noise, nice reading area by reception. Quality breakfast and great coffee

Nothing

The location is excellent. Breakfast was very good and good number of options.
Staff were excellent and very informative.
We were only to stay one night. When waiting for taxi offered tea and coffee before we left.
Bed was really comfortable and after a long journey we had a great night sleep.

The room looked a bit tired and some small investment in decor will make a significant difference to room appearance.

Great location and staff were excellent

Nothing

Great boutique hotel in an excellent location close to the blue mosque and lots of good quality restaurants. All staff were really friendly and helpful and the hotel was very clean throughout.

Nothing personally but some may feel the standard bedrooms are slightly on the small side.

Staff were excellent and check in and out was swift and trouble free.
There was a bar so that we could have a drink and relax when we got back from our event at 2am!
Breakfast was perfect for me.

Coffee/tea making facilities in room....there weren't any.

Location is perfect for the square small hotel beautifully decorated
Breakfast had plenty of choice

This is an excellent boutique hotel in the centre of Istanbul, with walkable distance to the Blue Mosque, the Hagia Sofia and lots of restaurants! The service is great and welcoming and the breakfast has a good variety of choices. The rooftop has an amazing view and even when it is a bit colder, it is nice to have a drink up there.

Clean, value for money, nice helpful staff, free upgrade

Nothing

We liked that there was a downstairs area with book shelves, armchairs and a fire. We loved that we had our own private terrace.

Extremely central, steps from Blue Mosque Hippodrome and Hagia Sophia and short walk to bazaars, very helpful staff, 24 hour front desk, fresh tea and coffee on call

Nothing. Perfect
