I have stayed in several places in Istanbul, and no doubt Alp Guesthouse is the best. They are small and easily fill up, so book early. The room was spacious and clean. The bathroom was spotless, though bring your own toiletries as only soap bars were provided. The decor suits the building and the area. Breakfast is served on the... More

Alp Guesthouse and it's staff are another good example of Turkish Hospitality. As a traveller, my top 2 priorities are: customer service and cleanliness. The Alp Guesthouse met these expectations with ease, therefore I am giving them an excellent rating. From my first contact via e-mail, through our departure, the staff were helpful, kind and accommodating. Even when we added... More

I get the impression that this hotel was definitely above average for Istanbul guest house standards, but I'm not sure it warrants a "very good" review. It was squarely good. The rooms were on the small side, and the walls fairly porous to sound. Thus because our room was immediately off the stairs, the sounds of people going up and... More

The front desk staff were always courteous and very helpful, and the limo ride from and to the airport very convenient & pleasant. It is located in the Cancurtaran area very near the Aya Sofia & Topkapi Place, which is great and very handy for first time visitors to Istanbul, but can can be a bit of a trap if... More

The Alp Guest House was everything I needed for my stay in Istanbul. Breakfast was great, view wonderful and all staff very helpful. Very quite location, yet close to major sights and places to eat. I highly recommend the place and commend the staff for the knowledge and guidance to make my short stay the best. The call to prayer... More

I stayed here with a group of friends in October. You cannot beat the location - it is on a side street with no through traffic, and within a few minutes' walking distance to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and tram station. The hotel employees were especially courteous and helped us book airport transfers, among other things. The rooms are... More

We thought it was a good-value hotel: just south of the main sites, on a side street that dead-ends into stairs, so no traffic. You do have a mosque just behind it, but I'll take the early call to prayers over steady street noise. At one point I wondered if I'd have preferred something on the other side of the... More

We just returned from a 4 night stay there with a group of friends. We had the twin rooms which consisted of a full sized bed and a twin. I enjoyed every aspect of our stay. The rooftop terrace was so nice first thing in the morning as you enjoyed your very "turkish" breakfast (coffee, cay, ekmek, jellies, butter, olives,... More

I'm surprised by all the positive reviews and the notes that the hotel was recently renovated. I our door didn't even latch when closed. I other hotels that required the key card to turn on the light worked on a slight delay so you weren't plunged into darkness when trying to exit ones room. The location is right in the... More
