The hotel is in ideal location, steps away from Istanbul highlights, service is amazing and stuff are very helpful and the owner can’t be any nicer, highly recommended and definitely I would stay there again

Excellent location. The room is small but that’s expected in this section of town. The street noise quiets after midnight. The AC worked well. Breakfast was great.

The White House Hotel in Istanbul is in the perfect location for visiting all the important sites in the old town. The owner runs the place and he and his team are on hand to take care of your every need. We had a great stay and are glad we chose this hotel.

This property has great reviews but this is an average boutique hotel. The location is great and the hotel owner cares about the property but the standard room is disappointing (very small, could use updating, and lacked some basics you often see in an upmarket hotel no electrical outlet near the bed, the deadbolt lock did not work, safe too small for a standard laptop, no bathrobe or clothes iron). Most importantly the shower was too small for a 6ft tall person and was similar to what you will find on cruise ships - couldn't shower (which you will do 2x day in summertime Istanbul) without bumping knees, elbows).

The location was perfect. The staff was friendly and helpful. Each morning we had a wonderful rooftop breakfast. I would definitely stay here again if I returned to Istanbul.

My stay at the White House Hotel in Istanbul was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the warmth and hospitality of the owner, Harun, who makes every guest feel welcome and comfortable. It's clear he puts his heart and soul into the hotel, reflected in every detail.
The breakfast is excellent, offering a wide variety of fresh and delicious options. Waking up to the stunning view of the Hagia Sophia each morning is priceless, and the hotel's location is perfect for exploring Istanbul's rich history and culture.
What truly sets the White House Hotel apart is the feeling of being at home. Thanks to Harun and his team's personal touch, guests feel like part of a big family. The genuine hospitality and cozy atmosphere make leaving hard and returning a must.
In summary, the White House Hotel is not just a place to stay but an experience. Exceptional hospitality, comfort, delicious breakfast, breathtaking views, and an unmatched sense of home make it a perfect choice for anyone visiting Istanbul. I highly recommend the White House Hotel for a memorable stay in this enchanting city.

My stay at the White House Hotel in Istanbul was fantastic! The rooms were beautiful, and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful, always available for any questions. The central location near top attractions added to the overall experience during my four-day stay. Not to mention, the breakfast buffet was delicious, making my time at the hotel even more enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this hotel to others and look forward to staying there again!
5.0 / 10.0
I am a frequent visitor to Istanbul. I prefer to stay in the Sultanahmet, because my friends like family work and some live there or near there. I have stayed at the White House repeatedly over the last three years. It is beyond all measure the best hotel in the neighborhood, considering convenience, comfort, service including a true Turkish breakfast, price and all other criteria. For me the only additional thing I could ask is that they install handrails on the entrance from the street stairs that blend with the style of the house.

If you are looking for a very clean hotel to stay in with an acceptable budget then it will be this hotel. We booked 2 rooms after we read the positive reviews about it. Without exaggeration, their cleanliness level is very high standard. There aren't black stain lines in the bathroom, the drainage wholes aren't rusty, everything is very clean . The staff are very friendly and helpful, smiling all day. The hotel manager and owner have great customer service skills. They gave us a welcome drink and lokum when we arrived. The breakfast options and quantity are acceptable and delicious. The hotel location is very near to tourism sights such as aya sofya and tramvay. When we left the hotel manager maneged to prepare us a car with a price less than the taxi price. Also we forgot our things in the hotel and the hotel manager was very cooperative to send us our things by post. For sure I will stay with them again.

5.0 / 10.0
A very enjoyable and entertaining stay in Istanbul, with lovely sites and friendly people. Would do it again!
The White House Hotel is/was part of the positive experience too. It is well located near attractions and transportation.
The hotel is clean and well maintained. The Service is impeccable, gracious and friendly. Breakfast is good and plentiful, much needed because of all the walking to do for enjoying the city!
Rooms are nice, but small. To get around this we chose a triple room even though there were just two of us.
Thanks to the owner, Harun Cardirci, Mehmet, Kemal, and the team for making our stay so memorable and comfortable!

The White House Hotel Istanbul is an absolute gem! Great location!! 2 min walk to an array of restaurants with useful advice from the front desk who are happy to call and make arrangements. 3 min walk to major attractions in Sultanmet and to the tram. We reached at 9.30 am after a long flight for a 1.00 pm check in and the hotel graciously accommodated us and a room was ready in 15 min. The room was excellent with classic decor and the complimentary breakfast buffet on the roof top is quite a feast! The staff were welcoming and warm and we felt safe and valued as visitors! Three thumbs up to this lovely hotel!!

I highly recommend staying at this hotel. The location is perfect - walking distance to the incredible sights and fantastic restaurants, breakfast is amazing, coffee is available 24 hours on their beautiful rooftop, but the service is just beyond anything I've ever encountered.
Eres at the front desk - hope he's there to greet you - he sat us down for a full 20 minutes at check in to talk about the hotel (naturally) but then went on to tell us about the area, where not to eat, how to navigate the metro system, and he had incredible restaurant recommendations (Old Ottoman was our favorite). He was able to get us a table at restaurants that had turned us away without a reservation.
Everyone one working there is gracious, kind, helpful and make you feel at home.
There was a handwritten note from the manager waiting for us in our room, welcoming us to Istanbul.
Originally this trip would probably have been my one and only visit to Istanbul but rethinking future travel plans, hoping to include this beautiful city and amazing hotel again.

Absolutely the best place to stay in Istanbul. The staff were not just friendly, but went out of their way to satisfy us. If you wanted or asked for anything, it was done. They even got my wife a present when we left. The Turkish coffee was awesome!! I cant thank them enough for the memories!! We were also within easy walking distance to all of the major sites.... i just cant say enough about this place!

The property was on a steep hill and the owner was quite insistent that we used a certain restaurant which was extortionate.Breakfast was quite limited and on a roof terrace which didn't have much of a view.The owner knocked on our door after 11pm to offer us strawberries and chocolate cake but would not leave until we blew the candle out .All in all for the price not really worth the money we paid for the visit

For context, i have worked and traveled in many countries over the past 30 years. I prefer boutique hotels with character and personalized service. The White House far exceeded all of my expectations. The Hotel property was impeccably clean and furnished. The Staff were exceptionally professional yet personable. The owner was present and engaged, making me (and my 95 year old mother) very comfortable regardless of our hurried travel itinerary. Each suggestion for sight seeing, eating, relaxation was reliable. I strongly recommend the White House Hotel, it will be our family's choice going forward!

Hotel is in an ideal location if you want to visit main tourist spots of basilica, blue mosque, palace and Hagia Sophia. These are literally a 5 minute walk away. The hotel is also very clean and safe, the staff are helpful even though they told us mosque was open and it wasn’t. The hotel also had a small roof terrace. However the breakfast was not the best, with poor choices and pre cooked omelette. We had a standard double room which was very small and was looking dated. The bed was just a double and the pillows were rock hard, mattress was poor. We felt very cramped in general. Disappointed after reading all the glowing reviews.

8.0 / 10.0
I would give it a five , but the breakfasts were lacking.
Also. they called and wanted to deliver some fruit, but I had to tell them not to because we had ants in the room. Also the elevator was inadequate for the the number of rooms and the only staircase to the roof where you got food was blocked by cleaning supplies. Nice view from the roof of the Blue Mosque
some good restaurants around the area, just don’t use Rick Steve’s for restaurants

The staff was excellent. The location for exploring can be best, and the restaurant that we were referred to was authentic and very reasonable and very good. The manger of this Hotel gets it, Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful stay at the White House Hotel. In addition to the great location for those of us visiting Istanbul for the first time, the attentiveness from the staff and beautiful rooms made our stay so comfortable and relaxing. When we missed our connecting flight and would be arriving much later than expected, I messaged the hotel and the manger/owner replied with such a kind message letting us know we would be warmly welcomed whenever we arrived, which made us feel better in a stressful situation. We didn’t have to worry about a thing during our stay as all of the staff were ready to help us with any requests. The staff and manager were also kind enough to welcome us when we arrived with fresh orange juice and Turkish delight, brought a lovely snack of chocolate and strawberries to our room during our stay, and even offered us coffee or tea at 4am as we waited for our taxi to the airport. I really can’t recommend this hotel enough. Thank you to everyone who made our stay so great!
