Everything was great. From stuff, comunication before arrival and during our stay, to help arange everything we needed. We used also airport transfer from and to airport and it was really the best we could do. The skills of the driver was awesome if you know how bad is traffic in Istanbul. If I go to Istanbul once again, I would definitelly stay in this hotel. Thank you.

The biggest highlight was the staff. The gentlemen at the front desk were always so friendly, kind and helpful. My biggest thanks and gratitude to each of them.

The shower head was broken, not able to be secured. The walls are also quite thin so you can hear the snoring next door.

This hotel is in an excellent location, close to the Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace and Hagia Sophia, which are less than 10 minutes walk. The staff are friendly, professional and extremely helpful. The reception team were brilliant, particularly Ilham, Mohammed and the gentleman who helped us with our suitcases. There is a lift to all floors and breakfast consists of a wide range of fresh, delicious hot and cold foods. I would recommend asking the hotel to book transfers to and from the airport as they use the local taxi company who know the area well. The reception staff are also able book local tours and suggest activities. We had a very good experience here. We were a family of 5 and stayed in 2 adjoining suites.

Exceptional Stay – Highly Recommended Hotel! From the moment we arrived, everything about this hotel exceeded our expectations. The staff were incredibly welcoming and professional, making check-in smooth and pleasant. Our room was spotless, spacious, and beautifull. This hotel offers outstanding service, comfort, and atmosphere. I will definitely return and recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable and relaxing stay. A special thank you to Mr. Aslan, the hotel manager, whose professionalism and warmth truly stood out. He went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect, always available for any questions or requests. His attention to detail and genuine care for guests made a lasting impression — it’s rare to meet someone so dedicated and kind in hospitality.

The hotel has an excellent location. The staff made our stay an exceptional one and were always helpful, Muhammed and all the guys, especially front office manager Cihan. The room was neat, tidy and comfortable. The breakfast was varied and had a lovely spread of food each day. Very filling and nutritious. The wifi was excellent and worked well at all areas of the hotel. They even gifted us a farewell gift and just couldn't find any faults with anything. We really loved our stay and would definitely stay here again in future.

Listed a few things others have already mentioned: One access card, which when taken out, the aircon and fridge stop working, your drinks and room stays hot until you come back again. The room walls aren't soundproof and you can hear everything in the rooms on both sides, which can disturb your sleep. The bed doesn't have a proper duvet or blanket. These are small issues that can be resolved and I must stress this, it doesn't affect your stay at all because it is a lovely hotel with the very best of staff :)

My experience truly agreed with all the former positive reviews that I read about Black Tulip. 1. Location: the hotel is in the vicinity to major attractions of the old town Sultanahmet (short, pleasant walking distance to Hagia Sophia, its museum, Basilica Cistern, the blue mosque, the palace and its garden, etc etc), it is also right on the metro route and a few seconds walk to the nearest stop if interested in visiting further destinations. It was about 15-20 mins walk to the grand bazzar or the Egyptian spice market, from there it was an easy, short ferry ride/walking across the bridge to visit the Asia side. Within the neighborhood, there are many good eats as well, most are quite touristy, but some hidden gem for sure if you look closely enough. 2. Staff: the staff welcomed us warmly upon arrival, they were always available to provide immediate services, I cannot say enough good things about our interactions with the team. I didn't just feel like a faceless traveler there. 3. Hotel: the room was very clean and had everything I needed. I was worried that the hotel would be noisy given that it was near the metro line, but it wasnt a problem. The breakfast always had a wide, satisfying selection and we were able to get enough fresh veggies and fruits for the day first thing in the morning everyday, which I highly appreciated given that it's not always easy to do so when on the road.

Nothing really, The room was a bit tiny, but I was traveling on a budget so that's on me.

The hotel was excellent. Clean, comfortable, near all the things that are worth seeing. There were wide range options for breakfast and it was very tasty. Staff were great, we even got breakfast for the trip since we had early check out. Baran, the nice boy that was working when we were leaving, took us all the way to our taxi, which was also arranged by the hotel. I am sorry that I didn't memorize the names of other staff in the hotel but all staff that worked at the reception during the 4 days while we were there were so nice and helpful and at the same time very professional. We are delighted and on the scale from 1-10 I would give 15 if that was possible. Tesekkurler to all the staff at Black Tulip.

Great experience staying at Hotel Black Tulip. Excellent location as it was very close to main attractions and walking distance to the tram station, shops and restaurants. The breakfast was also really good. The hotel staff were excellent and very attentive to our needs. A special thank you to Baron, Efe, and Aslan, who provided us with exceptional hospitality. They were very friendly, accommodating, and always willing to help us with a smile. We were also lucky enough to be upgraded to a room with a balcony. Overall, it was a great stay at this hotel, and I would recommend it to anyone visiting Istanbul.

We really enjoyed our stay and hotel staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean and had everything you needed, The location of the hotel was near all the main historic sites and the Bhosphorus. Shops and restaurants were nearby. Fresh fruit for breakfast

The room was slightly noisy due to the noise from the regular outside trams but this stopped late at night. Room had everything you needed but quite small space for 2 people and shower was small. It was manageable but if you were a bigger person it would be a problem. Breakfast did not have a much variety as some hotels but everything was fresh,

We had a fantastic week at Hotel Black Tulip. The location is excellent and a great variety of foods was provided for breakfast. The rooms were cleaned daily with fresh water and towels and the staff on the front desk made our stay wonderful. They couldn’t do enough to help us, smiling faces always with great tips for all the attractions. The owners of the hotel are lucky to have such helpful front facing staff who made us laugh and stood up each time we came to the desk. You remember these small details.
