We really enjoyed our stay at this property. The rooms are bright and airy, very clean bedding, kitchen and bathroom. We made our own breakfast and it was a home away from home. The owner is super nice and accommodating. Very easy to communicate. I would definitely come back. A great apartment to stay in Istanbul. Thank you for your hospitality!

I stayed with my family in this property for five days in November . We had the time of our life! The building and apartment were very clean, with a lady who did a regular cleaning, with new sheets and towels. The property is 10 minutes walk to all the tourist attractions in Istanbul, which offers the easiest and best tourism ever. The warming system was good and we cooked in the kitchen which had all the basic cooking utensils. We could sit in the rooftop with a sea view and we had access to a landline. The internet connection was great, the location was the safest and most important Mr Yusuf, the owner of the property, is a jewel! Yusuf is accessible at all times, even between mid night and morning, and he provided all the assistance and facilities we needed, immediately and on the spot. I strongly recommend Topkapi Apartments for all the travelers who would like to stay in an apartment in Istanbul, Mojdeh, 24 November 2019.

Ideal base
Topkapi Apartments are a short walk from all Sultanahmet’s main attractions. We stayed in the ground floor apartment (no2) it was very clean and comfortable. Yusuf was always on hand if needed and arranged our airport transfers for us. The apartment would benefit by updating but that would not put me off using it again or recommending.

Nice location to stay but not in winter
A very nicely located apartment building but not equipped for Istanbul winter as the heating system is poor. We could not sleep the while night due to cold. There is no manager or any person to complain especially if you do not have a local phone as he is available only through phone. Very close to Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia and Topkapi Palace.

Fantastic location, fantastic price!
The location couldn't have been better, literally a few minutes walk from the blue mosque and topkapi palace. The apartment was clean, cozy and comfortable. Yusuf was friendly and helpful and it was great that a free phone was provided in the entrance hall if there was ever a need to phone the owners. The staff all seemed friendly and catered to our every need. All in all, we loved the stay and would recommend Topkapi apartment to all who would like a comfortable, ideally lovated place to stay for a very reasonable price.

Poor value for money-misrepresented in photos
The location close to the Old City was the only good thing about this hotel. Room did not even slightly resemble those in the photos. We were in a basement with tiny street-level windows with bars, fighting cats, tires, dust and street noise at ear level. Second bed was terrible, and no extra blankets for when it got really cold. Owners were friendly, appreciated their arranging taxi to and from airport. Microwave did not work and toilet ran constantly. We had arranged to get our packed luggage later than check out from our locked room. When we arrived it was left unsecured out in the hall. We were misled about the value of what was provided compared to other hotels in the same vicinity. There are many excellent hotels close by that cost the same, with much more. We had tours of them.

Ruined holiday, downgrade suite to dark small room
Hotel has 4 apartment rooms consisting of two suites (nos.3,4), one ordinary room (no.2) and one basement. When booking I was looking at comparable large suite rooms in good hotels at about the same price, and the suite rooms 3,4 looked good. It was really important for this short holiday that we had a lovely room. I booked no.4, a large bright open-plan suite with dividing curtain, and separate kitchen, on the top floor. I was completely shocked on check in to be led into a dark small ground floor room. I protested. In the conversation that followed the staff explained they decided to put me in the smaller room because a family should better take the larger room. I protested strongly at them not honouring our reservation and we decided to find another hotel. The hotel said they would then charge us for the full four nights if we didn't agree to stay, but would move us on the next day and offered a (pointless) small deduction on the price. We accepted under strong protest, spent a terrible night, and the next morning we packed up everything to relocate room. We arrived back in the hotel that evening and were told the guests in our room would not move. We were forced to stay another night in the small dark ground floor room, and yet again to pack ready to move the next day. On day three we were eventually moved, but as I had to leave on day four this was a totally ruined holiday. The hotel is totally untrustworthy. Terrible holiday. Terrible.

Staff went an extra mile to help us!!!!!!
Staying at Topkapi Apartments was a very satisfying experience for my whole family which comprise of 2 adults and 2 children who are both less than ten years old. Location of the place is unusually central to almost all main attractions in Istanbul.I want to add a word of thanks to Yousuf who was extremely cooperative and helping. Their airport pick and drop was marvellous as I was travelling with a lot of luggage and requested them to send a big vehicle which they did. I would strongly recommend these apartments to other visitors of Istanbul also and would definitely look forward to staying there again if I come to Istanbul.

Great Location; Wonderful Accomodation!
The pictures on the website do not do justuice to how nice this apartment is! I went with my mom and sisters (party of 4) for a week's stay in Istanbul. This is a lovely apartment in The Old City (Sultanahmet District), with nice fluffy white sheets and wood panel flooring. There is a full kitchen and small fridge. The sofa bed in the second room is very comfortable and may be used as a sofa to watch TV. Apartment is in top shape with clean fixtures and bathroom. The apartment is more than comfortable for four people. The host Yusuf Yildiz is the nicest person you will meet, and offers great recommendations from food places to sight-seeing. We had an incredible time and cannot wait to return sometime!

Terrific apartment in Istanbul
Our Topkapi apartment was very comfortable, clean and safe. We chose the apartment near the top and close to the outside terrace. The terrace was great for morning coffee or in the evening for unwinding with friends. We wanted an apartment because we were in Istanbul for a week and liked having an option of keeping fresh food in the kitchen. Hamza and Yusuf (owners of the apartments) arranged transportation to and from the airport for us. They know so much about Istanbul and enjoy making recommendations for their guests. Staying in the apartment was a great choice for us.

Well run, clean and well located apartments, very close to the Blue Mosque. There's no lift to the top apartment or terrace but it shouldn't be a problem for most to walk up the stairs. Had a great time in a great City with a fantastic history and culture and would stay in Topkapi apratments when i go back to Istanbul.

Уютные аппартаменты в районе Фатих
Уютные, чистые, апартаменты в тихом местечке. Доброжелательный и внимательных хозяин. В номере есть все необходимое для проживания (даже сейф). Муэдзин в номере слышно хорошо (хотя где его не слышно в районе Фатих). Отель находится в 5 минутах ходьбы от мечети Султан Ахмеда (Голубая мечеть). В 8 минутах ходьбы трамвай. Найти отель самостоятельно достаточно тяжело, поэтому лучше предварительно связывайтесь с хозяином и уточняйте как вам туда добраться.

Vierailu topkapi apartmentsissa
Viivyimme huonesitossa yhteensä 13 yötä. Päästessämme vihdoin kohteeseen oli yhteyshenkilömme unohtanut saapumisemme ja sulkenut liikkeen, josta avaimet huoneistoon haettiin. Kuitenkin saimme hänet kiinni puhelimitse ja hän kyyditsi meidät asunnolle ja saimme valita kahdesta huoneistovaihtoehdosta. Siivous oli joka melkein päivä ja siivooja oli erittäin mukava! Jopa tiskit tiskattiin. Siisteystaso oli hyvä.(Siivous 6 krt/viikko) Huoneistomme suihkussa oli huono vedenpaine, vessanpönttö oli kummallisesti hieman irti lattiasta, mutta silti toimi moitteettomasti. Lisäksi Istanbulilaiseen tapaan kylpyhuoneessa haisi viemäri. Sijainti Sultanahmetissa oivallinen, Siniseen moskeijaan ja Arasta bazaarille sekä tram-pysäkille oli lyhyt kävelymatka, noin 10 minuuttia. Lähellä oli myös minimarketteja, joista sai ostettu perustarpeet (vesi tms.) Talon yläkerrassa oli terassi, jossa sai viettää aikaa, ja jolta oli kauniit näkymät. Tarjolla oli myös luettavaa, romaaneja ja turistoppaita sekä aikakauslehtiä.
