Just back from a week's vacation in Istanbul; my first trip there, but with experienced friends, who returned to Berk after 15 years. Really lovely family-owned and -run small hotel across the street from the Four Seasons (formerly the prison where "MIdnight Express" was filmed) with views of Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque from the amazing roof deck.

There is no warmer welcome that the one you'll get at Berk. Rooms (and beds) are comfortable, all have en suite baths, and the front room on the 4th floor (elevator -- no need to climb) has a private patio overlooking the splashy Four Seasons across the street and affords views of the bustling neighborhood of Sultanahmet, with the minarets...

Rooms were very spacious and quite, bed was comfortable, bathroom was small but clean. The location could not be better (3 minutes walk from Blue Mosque and Aya Sofya). Owner was very pleasant, well informed and helpful. I definitely recommend this hotel.

We arrived in Sultanhamet with no reservation at all, while walking the street looking for an hotel I picked this guesthouse because of the nice pictures on the door, and the family like atmosphere. We were not disappointed. The staff made us really feel at home, was very helpful and nice. The room was spacious, clean, quiet (no nearby mosque)... More

We stayed here for four nights, the room was spacious although the bathroom was quite small,the standard of cleanliness throughout was excellent. There was a good variety at breakfast, cereal,eggs,pancakes,bread,cheese, tea & coffee. The hotel is in the old part of Istanbul, within walking distance of The Blue Mosque,Hagia Sophia Museum and Topkapi Palace Museum. Also there are a number... More

After many years travelling, it is rewarding to find a hotel nicely located at a walking distance of all attractions. Very cleaned facilities. The room 42 has a unbelievable views to Bosforo strait, Marmara Sea and Golden Horn. The best, the service offered by the owners and their employee. The breakfast may be improved. Reasonable price. Higly recommended.
