The room was clean, the personnel excellent who attended all our needs and even they went the extra mile, as they looked after our bags until late evening time after the morning check out, always being concerned about all our needs. They had recommended us what to do, where to go and how to do things in Istanbul. I definitely recommend them.

Sweet place near Aya Sophia

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Tulip Guesthouse. Not only was my room exactly what was advertised, but the hosts, Esin and Ahmed, were very kind and went out of their way to be helpful. The property is close to restaurants, shopping, monuments, and the sea. It couldn't be any better, and I would definitely recommend it!

Very Satisfied

I stayed for four nights and was very satisfied with my stay. The room was small but very clean. The hosts were super friendly and helpful and answered every question I had. The location couldn’t have been better, literally 5 minute walk from Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque and a street over from stores and restaurants. I would stay again and can recommend this property to any solo tourist or couples who wants a cheap and clean place to stay close to the attractions.
