Great Hotel in Great Old Town Location

We really our enjoyed in our 9 night stay in The White House Hotel in Istanbul. All of the staff (front desk, cleaners and at breakfast) were polite and helpful. The location is perfect for first time visitors with all the major sights of the old town only about a 5 minute walk away.

From the moment we walked in the door, we knew the White House hotel was special as we were warmly greeted by the owner for our 5 night stay. Overall the staff at the hotel were as good as have ever encountered, constantly going above and beyond to make certain our needs were met. Add in super clean and well designed rooms and a delightful rooftop breakfast deck and you have a winning combination.

This is nice small boutique hotel. Right from the time I checked in to check out, the staff were really courteous and wonderful. The rooms are very nicely kept and grand. They have wonderful Turkish breakfast on the rooftop with a view of the Mosques and the water front. It is at a walking distance from the blue, and grand Sofia mosques, the spice market and the Grand Market. It has a however a little cramped for space in the hallways. Would recommend this place to anyone visiting Istanbul.

We have been very fortunate to have be able to have stayed in some lovely hotels over the years. I believe this may be the best of any of them. The hotel is beautiful, very clean and in an exceptional location for proximity to tourist attractions, restaurants and other ammenities. What makes it better than other hotels that we have used? Without doubt, Harun, the owner and all of his staff. From the lovely check-in procedure to check out time every staff member that we dealt with with was obviously keen to ensure our holiday experience was as good as they could make it. And they suceeded Thanks to Harun and all of them for their considerable efforts

This property has great reviews but this is an average boutique hotel. The location is great and the hotel owner cares about the property but the standard room is disappointing (very small, could use updating, and lacked some basics you often see in an upmarket hotel no electrical outlet near the bed, the deadbolt lock did not work, safe too small for a standard laptop, no bathrobe or clothes iron). Most importantly the shower was too small for a 6ft tall person and was similar to what you will find on cruise ships - couldn't shower (which you will do 2x day in summertime Istanbul) without bumping knees, elbows).
