The staff at the boutique style Hotel Ibrahim Pasha were all fantastic. They could not do enough for their guests. The rooms were neat, well laid out and it didn't feel like the typical hotel room, much more comfortable and felt spacious with a nice balcony. The roof terrace provided a clear view of the nearby Blue Mosque. Information, tours, and history was all provided eagerly by the staff, who helped us organise a fantastic day trip to Gallipoli, with an awesome guide once we arrived. I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough. We will definitely be telling our friends, and I highly recommend staying here for a great holiday or stopover. The hotel is walking distance from many attractions, such as grand bazaar, spice market, ferries to the Asian side, mosques, the easy to use tram service, and amazing architecture. Nearby are many restaurants and bars, but far enough away that it's quiet at the hotel.

Nothing. Everything was as good as could be.

The staff were lovely. The hotel's vibe is relaxed, warm, comforting. Attention to detail was superb. Thoroughly professional, warm, friendly, welcoming, thoughful. The rooftop terrace (with bar) was a great space to chill with a book and a drink. The views of the Hagia Sofia, Bosphorus and the surrounding city were exceptional. The location couldn't be better if you're looking to visit the big historic attractions. I could wax lyrical for pages about how good this hotel is. It is small, but intimate, in a very relaxed and accessible way.

I stay in some amazing places and have exceptionally high standards. I struggle to think of something to mark Hotel Ibrahim Pasha down on.

We have now been in this hotel twice, and each time we were very pleased with our stay. The deluxe rooms where we stayed were welcoming , large enough and very comfortable. The staff are very friendly and attentive, and we were also very happy to have their helpful introduction to Istanbul on our first day, where they showed us on a map all the things one can do, restaurants and places to go, and how to get around. The hotel has charm and is in a small and generally quiet street and in an area where one feels very safe. The location is excellent and from the hotel one can walk to many of the most important places to see in Istanbul, the area of Sultanahmet (Hagia Sophia, Topkapi , Blue Mosque, Hippodrome, Basilica Cistern), the Grand Bazaar, and further down from there the Spice Bazaar and the New Mosque. There are also good restaurants recommended by the staff near the hotel. We enjoyed the breakfasts in the hotel, with a good selection, a nice breakfast room and friendly staff. The hotel also has a pretty roof-terrace where one can enjoy a view and a drink, especially in the warmer months at the end of the day.

This hotel is amazing. The staff are attentive, patient, kind, knowledgeable, polite, smiling and helpful. I cannot praise them enough. The roof top has a wonderful view and you can call for drinks on the phone. The location is exceptional. The breakfast was beautifully presented with a wonderful range of turkish products. The rose jam, grilled olives, bread, cheeses, pomegranate juice and whipped yogurt were our particular favourites. The room was small but beautifully decorated, and quiet with a powerful shower and hairdryer and deliciously smelling toiletries. The room was very cosy, homely and comfortable in terms of bed, blankets, and bowl of fruit provided. We will be recommending it to all our friends.

Location is excellent! Just in front of the Blue Mosque. Perfect to walk around, explore, come back for a rest and then set out again in the afternoon. Such friendly staff at the reception - who guided and provided so much detail that I havent even experienced at a 5 star hotel concierge service. Absolutely amazing staff. Dont forget to ask the staff for all the shopping, sightseeing recommendations. Conveniently located near the Sultanahmet tram stop.

Rooms and the bathroom are a tad bit small. The breakfast could do with more local turkish food options to provide an even more suitable stay. But really, these are small points. Overall, wouldnt think twice about booking again.

Lovely small boutique hotel with 24 rooms. Fantastic location one minute's walk from the Blue Mosque. Perfect for a first time visit to Istanbul. Hotel was eclectic in style and nicely decorated. Gorgeous roof top balcony with incredible views which would be great to use in warmer weather. We visited towards end of November and weather was perfect - sunny and around 10-12 degrees. We enjoyed sitting by the cosy fire in the small lounge area after a busy day sightseeing, lots of books and magazines around to look over, nice choice of quirky old style background music. Reception staff were all super, very friendly and helpful.

The staff couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful. We felt very well taken care of the whole time. The location was so central that we were able to go by foot to all of the sites we wanted to see. And spending New Years Eve on the rooftop terrace with fireworks going off on all sides was absolutely magical. The room was beautifully decorated and cosy. And the breakfasts were very good. Lots of personal attention. Several rooms in the lobby to sit and relax. A fire going in the hearth. I am 100% staying there again.

There was nothing I didn't like. It was perfect.

The staff, the property, the location... it felt like a home from home, all the staff were attentive, friendly and very helpful. They answered our questions, made reservations, recommended times for our visits which made the weekend even more special. It was our anniversary and my partner's birthday, and they made a proper fuss. It was lovely. A stone throw away from the Blue Mosque, a 10m walk from Bazaar district, 5m away from tram to get to Karakoy easily.... perfect location. Their restaurant recommendations were spot on. Room lovely, Breakfast yummy and great terrace for sundowners at prayer time...perfect.

Room was lovely, but the bathroom was quite small, totally adequate... but was tight.

Helped us arrange transportation to and from airport. It’s very close to the Blue Mosque and other attractions. Staff excellent, breakfast very good. Books everywhere, room was very small but didn’t feel too small, just cozy! It was more like a bed and breakfast than a hotel! Great ambiance on the first floor. Luxurious in a cozy way, within a beautiful building. Would stay there again and have already recommended to several people.

Only one thing: close the front doors when smoking outside - it creates a transom effect all the way to the fourth floor. Preferred the old book smell.

The staff are extremely nice and helpful. We were kindly provided with a junior suite (even though we had only booked a standard double room - would recommend to book a junior suite as the rooms are quite small). My boyfriend got sick on the last day and we asked for a late checkout. Even though our room was needed, they kindly provided the room next to it for the rest of the day so we could rest and sent up tea. Breakfast was quite good, with fresh fruit and a selection of other things even though it is a small hotel with a relatively small breakfast buffet. The hotel provided complimentary waters and there was always a jar with aromatized water in the breakfast area. They also provided a complimentary snack during the afternoon. The hotel location is great, right off Sultanahmet square and close to the tram line. The street was quiet.

The room soundproofing was not great. The bedroom door left out large gaps which allowed sound and light to come through. Even though the mosques' nighttime call for prayer's is something to be expected in Istanbul it would be great to have a bit of a better room soundproofing.
