"Beautiful little hotel at the edge of the old town. Easy access to the main roads but also walking distance to the old centre. The staff was so friendly and helped us out with parking, refreshments and a nice conversation every day. The room was small but decorated with style and the upper terrace was a nice place to end the day with a view over the water . We would highly recommend."
"Stayed four nights here. Great location, minutes to the major points of interest, steps away to restaurants and shopping, yet on a quiet side street. Faculty looks new, feels new. Breakfast provides plenty of choices, rich in protein and other foods. Staff are friendly and helpful. Will definitely return to this hotel if visiting Istanbul again "
"The breakfast at Hotel Poem was incredible! Wish I was staying longer than just the 1 night. Everyone at the property was so helpful and friendly, nothing was a problem and the rooms were immaculate and comfortable.
Highly recommend this property."
"The staff were very kind hospitable and lovely it was such a great stay, I felt safe and it is local to everything! Loved this hotel and would only come back to this hotel! "
"Stayed in December
Staff are excellent and lean over backwards to help.
Accommodation I was everything required and was qyiet even though it’s a busy location with lots of good bars and restaurants to choose from.
Location is fantastic for all the big tourist sites, no more than 15 minutes even for pier for Bosporus cruises or the Topkapi palace.
Would be my first choice when I return to Istanbul."
"Ali was wonderful! He gave us the most warm welcome possible! Hotel is in a great area surrounded by shopping and restaurants, as well as historic sites. Will definitely come back!"

"The hotel is near the main attractions and in a good location, but still quiet. The employees were very friendly, helpful, and attentive, especially Burhan who looks like Colin Farrell (some guests said Volodymyr Zelensky, lol). The breakfast was decent but didn’t have many hot options. The hotel is extremely clean and the shower has good water pressure. Overall a great stay."
"I’m not going to share too much about my own experience since everyone’s will be different. The hotel is in a fantastic location—less than five minutes from a beautiful grand masjid, right next to the spice bazaar, with the Bosporus river and tram connection just around the corner (5/10 mins), plus plenty of food and shops nearby (perfect!). Hop on the tram and within three stops you’re right outside the Blue Mosque.
The hotel room itself looked a bit dated and could do with an upgrade. In one of our rooms the Wi-Fi was very weak, though in the other room it worked just fine. On the positive side, the staff were really friendly and helpful. The breakfast was excellent, and the chef, along with all the staff, was extremely hospitable."
"The room is spotless, the bathroom is modern with contemporary look.
Very nice, loved the stay recommend it and will stay again in the future, the only thing is the breakfast was repeated with no new verity, but still not bad."
