We had no concerns at all, and felt that the staff were always available to help us out - including helping us navigate local transit, and providing Turkish coffee for breakfast :-). We loved it! ##### Greg Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Desmond 19 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities The best part of your stay here are the hosts - super friendly and knowledgeable. The place itself is old, so hallways and rooms have an antique feel to them. The location is outstanding with less than 5 minute walk to some of the most amazing attractions in Istanbul. There are 100s of good restaurants and shops literally next door. Breakfast is okay and it can be a bit noisy at night, but the price makes it a good deal. ##### Desmond Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Fariya 19 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities This guest house is perfectly situation in Istanbul.

They were excellent hosts and made us feel very welcome in their guest house, as if we were guests in their homes. We look forward to staying with them again. The guesthouse was very close to the main touristic sites, and if you'd like to venture further afield and eat in some nice restaurants, Yesim and Ahmet will give you great recommendations.

The owner, Yeşim, was attentive, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond during our visit. The same for her staff, particularly Homayoun. This is a place we will come back to when we return to a city we fell in love with! You can't go wrong when choosing this property both in terms of the character of the place and the owner and her staff. ##### Zohre Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wain 28 Apr 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### SUPERB Simply super..... location, hygiene excellent.

Heater works well. ##### myrna ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chew 30 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This is the best hotel that I have stayed at, bar none. My family along with another family are invited to dine with Yesim, Ahmet and their family. The hosts make sure that our stay at Istanbul is well taken care off. Our family looked forward to breakfast every morning. Partly because of the food but most importantly, the chats that we have with the hosts and other hotel guests. When you're in Istanbul, stay at Grandma's guesthouse. You will be treated like a family. An experience that you won't get at a faceless, corporate hotel, even if you have paid 5 times the costs. ##### Chew Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### HYUNJU 29 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### I love it. It is a guest house with a nice location, clean accommodation, and a nice terrace view. When I check in at the accommodation, the host brings you welcome tea. I love it. They kindly explain it to us at breakfast and bring us Turkish coffee at the end of the meal. The pumpkin soup I had at breakfast was so delicious and I will remember it again. During the two nights, they always treated us kindly with a smile and a smile, so we stayed comfortable as if we were staying at my mom's house. Always be healthy and look forward to seeing you again next time. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/E79E8AC96569DE8CEFB1FD6B687337112052803A1730190300679.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/CC6214CDC0D6AB2C4761B5BFACD94A6B78E62C811730190300923.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/F650319954B9297F84DE568B2139C07F419337BB1730190301784.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8C9A4B224DC992B6411EF5814BF4C96F0E7B3CE11730190299645.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### HYUNJU Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James 23 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Small and a bit loud The room was at street level and therefore a bit loud. That was unfortunate. Then the AC wouldn't work (owner got it to work in the morning but we were leaving). Due to this, it was even more loud with trash truck day at 11:00pm. Room was small but ample. Breakfast was simple and the owners were there and made us feel welcome. Nice rooftop terrace to see the full moon.
