The staff were fabulous. So friendly, helpful and accomodating! We loved our view of the Bosphorous, if you can stay in the Hemingway suite on the top floor, with a private patio it’s a fabulous option. The breakfast is also the best we’ve had in Turkey… and that’s saying something because the breakfasts are great. The area is close to everything, that is good as you can walk to most things, but it’s a bit of a pushy experience walking past the local restaurants!!

Excellent service. Extremely friendly staff. Spacious room (#119) with fantastic view off the balcony. The breakfast was a feast with an extensive array of mazes of small dishes. Make sure you get the staff to assist in getting the luggage up and down two flights of stairs.

Excellent hotel, close to all the main tourist sights. Excellent customer service from the whole team, very friendly and really want to make your stay memorable. Breakfast is brilliant, such a great selection, colourful, tasty etc. Hotel transfer is a must, million times better than the standard taxis and for onky a nominal difference. Highly recommended and a great city. 10/10

Communication with property exceptional. Property itself is charming, full of character, and in a convenient location. Breakfasts are out-of-this-world and are prepared and served with care and courtesy. I highly recommend a superior room. I was upgraded from premium and the difference was significant in terms of materials, spaciousness, and light. A gem of a place where everyone who works there greets you with genuine warmth.

The staff were very helpful and friendly, breakfast staff especially so, big shout out to them. The chef is to be commended for his breakfast choices of the little dishes. Hotel beautiful, walking distance for everything. Very quirky hotel. Definitely would stay here again. The only niggle i can think of was that the mattress was on the hard side but thats my own personal preference.

Hotel Poem is a gem that my family have been visiting continously for the last 2 years. You should stay there for two reasons: location and people. Location is in the very heart of the historic center, yet it is quiet and relaxing. People are amazing: from front desk, to breakfast to cleaning crew. Special thanks to Eren for taking amazing care of me and my family.
