“Can't beat the location or the service!”

Staying at the Garden House was the perfect place to recharge after a day out in Istanbul. The management couldn't do enough for us and upgraded our room and attended to our every need. The rooms were spotless. The garden was delightful and the breakfast great! Our location was just down the hill from the Blue Mosque. We walked there in 5 minutes! I will definitely stay there again!

“Great boutique hotel in Istanbul”

This was a fantastic little boutique hotel in Istanbul. Check in staff were very friendly, buffet breakfast was fantastic and our room was very well kept.

“You will not regret if stay in Garden House! Is really nice and cozy place.”

My first impressions of Garden house hotel are just excellent!!! Place is very nice and cozy, all stuff are so hospitable, friendly and helpful! Location of the hotel is also comfortable and close to the Sultanahmet center. Next time when I am in Istanbul I will stay in Garden House for sure!

“Garden House Fan”

We enjoyed our stay and the services provided. The people especially the manager and porters were wonderful. It was a peaceful setting with a nice garden area to rest with complimentary coffee, tea and biscuits (cookies). They provided excellent transfers from airport, sea port to and from their hotel. Our guides they provided were excellent. Be sure and ask for Numan and tell him Mississippi sent you. Be sure and carry an address card with you as our taxi driver had trouble finding it. We only used one when we were tired and coming back from the spice market. Most places are in walking distance. Wonderful breakfast.

“Hôtel chaleureux et bien situé, personnel serviable et accueillant, sympathique”

Vraiment content de notre séjour à Istanbul, ville que nous recommandons pour plein de raisons. Accueil à l'hôtel exceptionnellement chaleureux : explications sur tous les points d'intérêt, comme s'y rendre, aide pour les réservations. A titre d'anecdote, nous avons oublié notre appareil photo à l'hôtel. Le personnel s'est coupé en quatre pour nous le faire parvenir à Bruxelles via des clients bruxellois. Sympa aussi ça.

“Beautiful hotel in Sultanamet Istanbul”

The staff at the Gardenhouse was extremely helpful, from the first inquiries on email, to arranging for a car from the airport, to holding the luggage after check out. The location is great. They gave us a new beautifully decorated room, with a king size bed and a separate seating area. The courtyard area was relaxing and comfortable. I would definitely stay there again. Watch out for Istanbul taxi scams; arrange for taxis through the hotel. They know who is reputable.

“Hôtel Garden House à Istanbul : calme et pratique au coeur de la vieille ville”

Un peu à l'écart des grands axes de Sultanahmet, petit hôtel paisible à l'ambiance "familiale", confortable, propre et bien tenu (par ex. le linge de toilette est changé quotidiennement). Le personnel est souriant, disponible et attentionné. Les chambres sont celles d'un hôtel de bonne catégorie (air conditionné, TV écran plat, réfrigérateur, coffre, corbeille d'accueil, accessoires de toilette, peignoir...). Breakfast en libre-service, varié et de bonne qualité. Accès Internet à la réception. L'absence d'ascenseur n'est guère gênante pour les personnes valides, le bâtiment ne comportant que 4 étages. Nous avons été globalement très satisfaits de notre séjour.

“Brilliant, friendly small hotel. Great location for the sights.”

A lovely small hotel that was brilliant value for money. Everywhere is spotlessly clean and our room was cmfortably furnished (the bed was the most comfortable hotel bed I've slept in for ages). The staff are friendly and helpful without being pushy. If you need any advice or trips etc just ask them. Breakfast was simple Turkish style with cheese, olives, cucumber etc with everything very fresh. The hotel is in a good location 5-10 mins walk from the Blue Mosque but in a quiet location (except for the 5.45am call to prayer from the nearby mosque! I would thoroughly recommend this hotel and would be happy to return there any time.

“Really Lovely”

There are so many hotels from which to choose in Sultanahmet, it was difficult, but I trusted previous reviews. I wanted real Turkish hospitality and a clean hotel. I could not have been better pleased. The hotel staff helped me find the hotel while I was on my cell phone with my two children walking from the Grand Bazaar and the metro line. The staff were incredibly sweet and understanding, as I called back again and again, afraid I was lost. I followed the directions and found the hotel without getting lost, thankfully, because it was bitter cold. We were warmly received and made to feel at home. When we reached our two rooms, we were thrilled. They were the Ottoman style rooms. Perfectly clean, and warm, and each had a small hamam (Turkish bath) for the bathroom. This was so fun for the children! My 6 year old daughter let me sleep in the next morning as she and her barbie doll played in the Turkish bath. What bliss! It was her favorite part of our trip to Istanbul (and we had a very nice trip), The room was really perfectly clean, as was the rest of the hotel. Excellent! Only criticism is that there was only one easy chair. We were cold and tired after flying in and going to the bazaar, so we ate at the hotel restaurant, which, again, was perfect. I promise, I am not exaggerating. It was a little expensive, but otherwise perfect. We had Chupra (a Turkish fish from the Marmaris or Mediterranean, usually) and the kids had pasta and shish kabobs.
