The cleanliness of the room was decent, and the staff were friendly. Breakfast was delicious! The only downside was that there was a sewage smell as soon as I opened the toilet. Overall, it was a good stay.

A very nice traditional boutique type hotel with an excellent restaurant and attentive service. Close to the tourist attraction but also close to traditional part of Istanbul. Nice rooms, the ones close to the entrance and facing the restaurant garden are nice but noisy at night.

The service in this hotel is excellent… friendly and helpful. The garden setting is also lovely and the cuisine in the restaurant is first class… especially the chicken güveç! The only downside of my stay was a very noisy room on street level with vehicles, mopeds, scooters passing 4 feet from my window. Quite a racket so I slept badly for several nights. Otherwise a lovely experience. Otherwise

Highly recommended

Excellent characterful hotel- built around a garden courtyard in which you can find the restaurant which is most excellent! Possibly the best in the area, good food supported by very attentive and pleasant staff. Speaking of which the staff were all absolutely wonderful special shout outs to Mrs Merve who sorted the transfer from airport and Mr Elvin who sorted out local events. Special thanks also to the hotel cat for providing cat related home comforts. Situated 5 minutes from the hippodrome and blue Mosque, say 10 mins from Hagia Sophia and 15 from Topkapi. 15 minutes the other way to the Grand Bazaar . I can whole heartedly recommend !

The staff at the Garden House Hotel were wonderful. They could not have been more helpful. The garden was a delight. It was always cool and shaded and just a pleasure dine or just hang in. I would highly recommend this hotel. If I had one criticism it would be that breakfast was limited but the off we ate for other meals was delicious.

What a lovely stay! Location was perfect for a first time trip to Istanbul, a 5-10 minute walk to all of the sites we wanted to see (Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace). On a very cute and quiet street but could easily walk a few blocks and be in the business of Istanbul, so many restaurants and shops nearby. Would definitely recommend!

Excellent location in Sultanahmet district. Excellent service, the staff is very nice and efficient. And the restaurant is on the top 10 best places to eat in the district. The food was indeed delicious! The exterior terrace is a little piece of heaven from the noisy streets. I would stay there again!

everything was good except that it was not easy to find plus it was in the interior and the traffic was horrible. However, it is in walking distance to the Blue Mosque and Haggia Sophia, so if you are athletic, and likes the walks, you will be fine.. I say the staff are tops
