We had a lovely stay at this hotel! The owner was extremely kind, helpful, and welcoming, he made us feel right at home. He gave us great recommendations for local restaurants, and when we wanted to buy lokums and baklavas as gifts, he kindly suggested Zaitoune in Findikzade, and it was absolutely delicious! We were also pleasantly surprised to be upgraded to the suite, which was spacious, comfortable, and truly made our stay special. The hotel is very well located, in a safe and convenient neighborhood. Overall, everything went well and we sincerely recommend this hotel!

The only downside was the breakfast service. We sometimes felt rushed while eating, and when we asked for certain items, we were told the kitchen was closed, even though we were still within the breakfast hours. That part was a bit disappointing, but it didn’t overshadow the rest of our experience.

This was the third time my family and I stayed at Dilhayat Kalfa when we've been to Istanbul. Excellent service from the staff, good quality breakfast with a variety each day. Rooms are spacious and clean, and the bathroom is well ventilated, a problem when we have travelled to other cities. Moreover, the WiFi connection is good in the rooms we have stayed in, essential in this time and age. The hotel is in a perfect location to all of the main sightseeing spots in Istanbul. It has local supermarkets and restaurants very close by as well as several shops where you can buy affordable souvenirs - better prices than the bazaars! One thing that stood out to us this time was the kidnness of the staff. The hotel went above and beyond in sending over some jackets that were left behind in the hotel, Abdur-Raheem was the epitome of kind, understanding, and hospitable in ensuring our jackets made it back to London.

Unfortunately the local area was experiencing electricity outages which caused some difficulties with the AC in the Summer heat.

Location, staff and safety around the area. Hotel Owner/Manager Abdul helped us early check-in which was very helpful and the other lady prepared breakfast every morning. The hotel terrace has sea view which was amazing for sunrise view. The blue mosque, tram station and many restaurants are just near by - walking distance. There was always a police car at the front of the hotel area, ensuring safe environment.

There was nothing as such but for food, not much option for vegetarian people.

It was a perfect place for us to stay during our 5 day visit in Istanbul. - The location was perfect. Only few hundred meters from Blue Mosque and the tram station Sultanahmet. - This hotel is clean and the decoration was beautiful 👍 We felt home in this hotel. - The room was big and clean, the bed was great, the bathroom was also big, the amenities were complete. - The personell were great: friendly, helpful. Especially Mr. Abdulrahim. He is simply the best 👍 He arranged every requeats of us. - The terrace has a great view. - The traditional home-prepared breakfast by two ladies there was delicious 👍

This was my second time staying at this lovely hotel. Hotel was very nice and in a really good location. It is about 3-5 min walk to the Blue Mosque. Brother Abdul Rahim is the manager, who is a lovely person and very helpful. I will definitely stay here again.

Breakfast was included however it was Ramadan so we didn’t have the breakfast. It would’ve been nice if they gave us the breakfast for sehri/sohoor time so we could have had it before sunrise to keep our fast. But it was not possible, they could not arrange this.

The hotel is very well located, less than 10 mins walk to the 4 major tourist points, Blue Mosque, Aya Sophia, Basilic Cistern, and Topkapi Palace. The hotel and rooms were very clean, and well- equipped (electric kettle, refrigerator). The staff was good, and the manager, who was almost always available at the front desk, was extremely friendly and helpful, and readily provided us with tips and suggestions for our daily visits into the town. Breakfast was good, wholesome, and was served in a room with a terrace and views on the sea, which was a great start to our days.

Nothing major to report as ""didn't like".Once in while there was a dirty smell in the bathroom, that lasted only a few minutes. There's probably a problem with the internal plumbing, but it didn't bother us much. The bathroom was well ventilated and stayed dry. It may be worth reminding that there is no elevator. The reception is on ground floor, rooms are on the next 2 floors, and then the breakfast room on top. We were not bothered by this though.

We loved this hotel. The manager was incredibly welcoming, friendly and kind. The house itself is incredibly beautiful, with beautiful furniture, and it’s situated in a fabulous location. The breakfast was a lovely surprise too. We loved it so much we’ve booked to stay again when we return to Istanbul.

Nothing at all

Excellent location, close to blue mosque 10 mins walk. Tram station 10 mins walk and very easy to use. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Has everything you need for a comfortable stay. We stayed in a room for 4, what I would say is the mattress was very thin and you could feel the springs, we had a child sleeping on it but he said he wasn’t comfortable.

Delicious breakfast on a lovely terrace. Staff were very helpful with extras such as early check-in, booking taxis and doing laundry.

We were given two single beds pushed together instead of a double bed. The shower head was also broken.

The stay was perfect. Central location, very nice and cozy hotel. Abdullah is very kind and makes it an even more special place. I will definitely return.

Everything was absolutely perfect
