Daria 10.0

Staying at this guesthouse was relaxing, pleasant, and very safe. The hosts are truly amazing - kind, genuine, and always ready to help with anything we needed. They also arranged the airport transfers, which made my trip much more convenient and stress-free. The location is perfect (just a 2-minute walk from the city center) yet it’s quiet and peaceful. The rooms were clean and refreshed daily. Breakfast was simple, fresh, and well-balanced. Whenever we wanted tea or coffee during a day, the hosts kindly provided it on request. The view from the top floor kitchen is beautiful (sea view), and the rooms on top floor are especially bright and airy. Overall, I had a wonderful experience here and would highly recommend this guesthouse to anyone visiting the area!

Mirko 8.0

I stayed at Tulip Guesthouse for three nights during my visit to Istanbul and had a very pleasant experience. The staff were friendly, polite, and genuinely helpful, especially Ahmet, who went out of his way to make sure everything ran smoothly during my stay. The rooms are quite small, but they’re comfortable, clean, and well maintained, perfect for travelers who spend most of their time exploring the city. The guesthouse is in a fantastic central location, within easy walking distance of all the major mosques and tourist attractions, including the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and Topkapi Palace. The area itself is quiet and peaceful, with the only early morning interruption being the 6 a.m. call to prayer echoing from nearby mosques – an authentic part of the Istanbul experience. I also appreciated that parking was available, which was a big plus since I had a car. At $65 per night, Tulip Guesthouse offered excellent value for money. Overall, it’s a cozy and convenient place to stay, ideal for travelers who appreciate good hospitality and a prime location in the heart of the old city.

Khalid 10.0

This place with the staff of that adorable family that consists of Ahmet, Esin, and their respectful father Omer bey, has the best thing of any family business, the friendly warm adorable comfy cozy atmosphere and hospitality. I visited Istanbul 6 times so far, this so far was the best one ever, so close to the main touristic attractions like Hagia Sophia- Blue Mosque, Grand Bazar,,, etc , So close to the direct to airport bus, so close to the transports, yet, it has a quite peaceful corner that there is no noise around. I even lost all of my money (which had fallen out of my bag without noticing) and they found it and returned it back without a missing cent in 10 minutes . With that amazing AC which usually are not found in Istanbul I experienced a peaceful sleeping that I did not sleep like in last 2 years. This facility will be my destination for every coming journey for me to Istanbul. And TBH I prefer it over a 5 stars Sheraton.

Theodore 9.0

Perfect location to reach any part of the old town by foot in no time, you can even pop back in the apartment in the middle of the day of needed. Staff was helpful and very friendly, parking just outside the hotel with motorcycles was not an issue and felt very safe.

Омурбекова 10.0

I stayed here for 5 days and probably that is the cheapest place in this area that you can find. I didn’t expect too much for price that I paid but this place exceeded my expectations, I had very comfortable and cozy room,everything was so clean, owners were very friendly and kind. They always tried to help me if I had any problems. If you are looking for hostel in Istanbul, I would highly recommend this place.

Nicholas 10.0

Location is spectacular! Staff were super friendly and helpful as well with directions and ideas. We arrived by uber since it was cheaper than a transport, but they drove us back to the airport for even cheaper (and more convenient!) We booked the budget double, but they upgraded us to the standard double since it was available. Rooms are small but they have everything you need!
