First things first: this is not a hotel, it's a guesthouse. If you're looking for a bargain but expecting hotel-like service then this is not for you. There are a couple staff members, who are extremely hospitable and very sweet. It's an ideal place for mellow travellers who like to meet on the terrace for an evening cup of Turkish... More

Yes it is not a star hotel. It is a guesthouse in a cosy athmosphere. All Staff so friendly. They are always giving some advices and recommend places to go. We have booked it as it is a small guesthouse and a budget place to stay. According to price / value, we can say it is a nice place.

Was fantastic place to stay where the staff went out of their way to accommodate my friends and I. The 24 hour reception is fantastic! The rooms are great quality and well furnished with air conditioning that worked very well. The staff even took us out to have a true local (non-tourist) experience of Istanbul which was one of my...

At the first sight, this guesthouse may be look like a bad choice, but it certainly is NOT! Yes you might think that the location of the guesthouse is not direct in the centrum but 10 minutes of walking makes you to find yourself at the blue mosq. This sure is a good point to take a cab or travel... More

After staying 10 days in City Guesthouse Istanbul we can recommend this place warmly. It's location is within walking distance from all the major tourist sites and the price is very affordable. Even if its a low price hotel , it doesn't stand back for much higher priced hotels when it comes to service and standards. The hospitality of the... More
