Guest House – Grandma’s House

The view from the rooftop and the balcony of my room were wonderful. The staff were exceptionally friendly, always ready to help and offer great advice. The location—right next to the Sultanate Hamam and Hagia Sophia—is perfect for exploring the historical heart of Istanbul (Constantinople). The breakfast was delicious, and the hosts showed genuine care and interest in their guests, making this cozy, homely hotel a truly welcoming place to stay.

The room was spacious, the location was fantastic. The hosts are incredibly warm and kind.

The owners were very friendly helpful and caring

The location was ideal-it was a short walk to the center of the old town. The owners of Berk Guest House made us feel like family. What a surprise that a nice breakfast was included in our stay. Our room was on the third floor and our luggage was taken up and down for us. There were numerous nice restaurants nearby. We hope to return. I highly recommend this gem.

Great location. Very attentive personel. Own and run by family and they are great.

vert good breakfast, nice and amazing location, lovely terrace

The hotel and its owners are truly wonderful! For my girlfriend’s birthday, they even surprised us with a delicious dinner and cake. Every morning, breakfast is lovingly prepared fresh and is absolutely suitable for vegetarians. The location and value for money are fantastic! Even though we had a small room right next to the reception, we felt very comfortable, partly because the hotel has lovely areas like the rooftop terrace. We felt completely at home and would come back anytime! Leon & Marisa

The owners are very helpful. They absolutely care for their guests. The location is absolutely perfect. The building has a superb terrace with a sea view and a blick on a substantial part of the city. I would highly recommend this property!

Perfect location. Lovely rooftop sitting area. Amazing staff and owners.

The owners are great, very friendly and helpful people. Fantastic spirit and atmosphere throughout the house. An excellent view from the roof.

The location is excellent, right smack in the old town an across Four season hotel. The street is very quiet so we were able to get good night sleep. The owners are very personable and helpful

Location. Wonderful hosts.

Location and view are perfect

Grandma's House is positioned in a fantastic location close to many sights around the Sultanahmet area and within walking distance. All the staff were so warm and hospitable. A shout out to Jawad at night reception who was lovely and so helpful during our stay. Breakfast was an absolute treat and loved the courtyard area.

This hidden gem made our trip to Istanbul amazing. The owners are so friendly and welcoming, the breakfast was the best I've had from a hotel and homemade. A huge thank you to the owners for the unforgettable memories 🙏. Also a beautiful rooftop view and comfortable room with far view of ocean❤️.

very well run friendly guesthouse. Perfect location, safe area, good breakfast, clean and well maintained. Amhet and Vishisha are beautiful helpful people and they genuinely care for their guests. After 8 days it was sad to leave.

From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and genuine hospitality by the incredibly kind owners. Their attentiveness and friendliness made us feel instantly at home. The location is absolutely perfect—just a short walk from Istanbul’s most iconic landmarks, which made exploring the city effortless and enjoyable. Each morning, we were treated to a delicious breakfast that exceeded our expectations and gave us the perfect start to the day. What truly set this place apart was the owners’ willingness to help with everything: from planning our itinerary to advising on transportation and the best times to visit the sights. Their local insights were invaluable and made our experience so much smoother. To our surprise and delight, they offered us a spacious, beautiful room instead of the smaller one we had originally booked—at no extra charge. This generous gesture was just one of many that made us feel pampered and cared for throughout our stay. We genuinely felt wrapped in comfort and kindness the entire time. If I ever return to Istanbul, there’s no doubt I’ll be staying here again. Highly recommended!
