We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Bram in Istanbul. The hotel is owned by two brothers who personally welcomed us and made us feel at home from the very beginning. They helped us arrange our airport taxi and were incredibly attentive throughout our stay. They provided great advice on what to visit in Istanbul and were always available to help with any questions or requests. The personalized attention really made a difference and made our experience feel special. The breakfast was excellent, with great quality. Overall, the hospitality, warmth, and care we received were outstanding. I highly recommend Hotel Bram to anyone visiting Istanbul and would definitely stay here again.

The room was spotless and spacious , the Hotel itself was very well presented . the room had not been used recently and took some time to warm up but fine afterwards . the TV was a small issue as 99% of the channels are not English (normal for Turkey) some larger hotels allow login to YT now .

the owners are very sweet and personable. They made sure we knew the area around us and were always willing to help with anything when needed. Breakfast was spectacular. Location is also great - just a few minutes walk from the sultanahmet square with the Hagia Sophia. I would for sure stay here again if I’m back in Istanbul. Also rooms felt very clean which we loved.

Ali and Tarkan were incredible hosts and their hotel was perfectly situated for our visit to Istanbul. Walking distance to all of the main attractions and the breakfast was lovely. Ali went out of his way to provide an earlier breakfast on our last day which was just a small example of his and Tarkan’s commitment to a wonderful experience. Highly recommend.

The hotel is run by two very friendly Dutch-Turkish brothers, Ali and Tarkan. They go well above the call of duty and take an active interest in their guests and never seem to take time off. They completely renovated the hotel in 2019 so everything is relatively new and works. The breakfast is individual and excellent. I hope Ali and Tarkan can hire a manager soon and allow themselves some well deserved rest.

One of my all time favorite hotels - everything you need - nothing you don’t- it has location, it’s modern, everything works, how many hotels have you stayed where you leave feeling you’ve made new friends with the owners- nothing was too much trouble- even getting up at 3am to bid me goodbye for my early morning flight - yes you guessed it I love this place. Bravo!!

The owners, two very friendly Dutch brothers, were so welcoming and helpful from the first minute we arrived until we left. They made us feel we stayed in a private home as opposed to a hotel. The area felt very safe, just a few minutes walk from the Blue Mosque, restaurants and shopping. Will definitely recommend to others.

My wife and I recently traveled to the this spectacularly crossroads city of Istanbul. As seasoned global travelers, the lodging experience at the boutique Bram Hotel was delightful and stimulating situated near the heartbeat of the city highlighting the Hagia Sophia, Sultanahmet (Blue) Mosque, and Topkapi Palace. The host caretakers, Tarkan and Ali, provide a unique and enhanced travel experience which is sure to please your mind and soul. We highly recommend this moderately priced hotel for its unique value and charm. The hotel’s interior was recently modernized with world-class amenities while its building exterior retains its UNESCO protected designation. The hosts genuinely care about your stay, love their home country, and exceed your travel expectations as you immerse yourself in the history, culture, shopping creating lifelong memories. Safe travels and wishing you much travel success.

I loved staying at Bram Hotel because of the friendly and caring way the brothers treated you. They are genuinely great people. They go out of their way explain everything to you. They offer suggestions and arrange transportation and Turkish bath for you. The room was very clean and comfortable. Bathroom and shower was spacious and great water pressure. Breakfast was delicious. Turkish Airlines canceled my ticket to Nevsehir and i had no hotel booked, they stepped in and help. I greater appreciate your kindness and understanding. I fully recommend Bram Hotel as the only place to stay in Istanbul. Thank you
