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.”

The location is central to all the sightseeing sites. The room is small but functional.

Great location, excellent staff. Would stay there again.

Outstanding staff during checkin. Extremely service minded. Even though we had to wait before it was our turned, we felt seen and taken care of, being given a bottle of water each right away. Throughout the stay we were offered unlimited amounts of water, which is really nice service.

Great great stay

The hotel is great, perfect location just one minute walking from the blue mosque and aghia sofia, very quiet road literally no noise from the street. Staff super kind and helpful, we loved the breakfast too with so many choices. The rooms pretty decorated and had everything you need, we loved the sofa to relax in the room with a plate of fresh fruits. We will definitely come back next time. Thank you

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the whole staff of Ibrahim Pasha hotel for the amazing experience we had in Istanbul that has been more than amazing. I chose their terrace rooftop a spot for my fiancé’s proposal, not only the beautiful skyline of Istanbul made this occasion special, but the people, the cleanliness, the room, the vibe, the aesthetic have made the best of this trip. Thank you for your kindness and the hospitality. You all have been nothing but an amazing memory to both of us . This trip was an essential step in our lives and this intimate occasion would have never been done as perfect without all the assistance you offered. We look forward to coming back to ibrahim pasha hotel soon, and whom ever comes across us and asks us for recommendations, we will only be sending people your way. Greetings and best wishes to all of you, A&T

Excellent small boutique hotel with such personal welcoming service.

My 3rd time staying at the Ibrahim Pasha hotel and what is so attractive about the hotel is the personal service one gets, the wonderful Turkish breakfast, very comfortable and clean rooms and the location. It is truly a wonderful place to stay if visiting Istanbul.

Enjoyable and comfortable stay.family atmosphere

My third stay.extremely friendly hosts.had a very comfortable feeling and the hotel is excellently placed.

The rooms are slightly smaller but because of the location can't be helped. It would be nice if they add a coffee / tea making facility to the rooms

Highly recommended

Everything was perfect, the staff is very sweet, flexible and helpful. The room is clean, bed is very comfortable and towels are changed as needed. The location is excellent, close to most of the touristic places (walking distance), yet very calm. Close to the tram station, so you can go around the city easily.

Room is a little small.

Perfect place to stay!

The Hotel Ibrahim Pasha was our home for 9 nights during our stay in Istanbul and we couldn't hope for a better place to find some peace in this stunning but sometimes overwhelming city. The interior is charmingly stylish and was furnished with great love for detail. The staff was always super friendly and courteous. Thank you so much for your help and your recommendations! We just loved the breakfast, the variety of food is absolutely sufficient and the quality is outstanding, fresh juice, seasonal fruit and warm simits really made our start in the day perfect. I'd recommend every friend to stay in this wonderful place and I myself am hoping to come back very soon!

Great staff, cute hotel

Great breakfast and super nice staff in the heart of the old city of Istanbul. The people at the front desk were very helpful and nice. I usually travel to Istanbul for work, but this time I had few extra days with my girlfriend and we decided to do the museums- this hotel is perfect, everything was walking distance. And the view from the rooftop terrace is unbelievable.

1) the staff, one of the friendliest and most prepared team i've found in a while 2) the position, 50 meters from the Blue Mosque but in a very quiet road, you can't ask for more 3) the Bed: the most comfortable beds i've ever slept in 4) the Hotel: lovely, with the chimney in the hall, the books in the rooms. Really, a place to go to

Great location and wonderful staff

Great location. Just a few yards away from the Hagia Sofia and the Blue Mosque which is great for first time visitors and if the weather is bad. Great breakfast with a large variety of things to eat. Staff were wonderful and spoke English. Lots of places to eat nearby.

A gem of a hotel nestled in the quiet streets of old Istanbul.

This is one of those rare hotels that you are lucky enough to stumble across in your travels that show a true understanding of hospitality. From before our arrival by email, to the welcome (Turkish coffee, free afternoon tea) with very well designed tourist maps and personal recommendations for restaurants, including a tiny, unassuming traditional kebab place which we would never have found otherwise, this team know how to host. The log fires and bookshelves filled with their own books, the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in, the worn-in leather sofa in the window alcove in the room, the hot shower with great water pressure, the attentive service, the roof terrace for the sunset, the constant supply of hot drinks and high quality snacks, the perfect location next to the Blue Mosque all made this a perfect place to stay.

The staff is amazing. Great location, good internet, clean, responsive, good beds.

At night, the room could be a bit stuffy. The AC did not help. I recon this problem does not exist during a warmer time of the year, when a window could be opened. Otherwise, it's a really great hotel. I would love to stay there again.

It was wonderful.

We loved our time at the hotel. The staff were exceptional - so friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. The terrace has the sort of view that takes your breath away. Perfect location - steps away from the Blue Mosque.

Our bathroom was a little dinky, but all the other positives far outweighed this small negative.
