A wonderful, little gem of a hotel, in the heart of the historic district of Istanbul!
What a find!
The attention to detail and the level of customer service is not found easily nowadays but this hotel and its wonderful staff will deliver, guaranteed.
This hotel is run with a lot of love for the industry and a lot of love for its guests.
Staff and management will be at your service 24 hours a day if need be and their enthusiasm for making their guests happy is unmatched.
Also: The location of this place is amazing!
In a quiet street, litterally 5 to 10 min. walk maximum to all of the mayor sites in Istanbul and close to many restaurants.
Cleanliness was also top-notch and the room comfort and decor was lovely.
They also have a delightful rooftop terrace/breakfast room and again, the staff are very friendly and eager to please.
Highly recommend!
Thank you again, White House, for making our stay a most memorable one!

Front desk manager pushed too hard for reviews. It started upon check in. On the second night, we were enjoying a drink in the lobby and the front desk manager (owner maybe) asked me to leave a review on trip advisor. When I didn’t have the app he downloaded it on my phone and gave the hotel 5 stars on everything across the board. Then asked that I copy and paste my texts to a Google review. When I didn’t know my Google sign in, he suggested the “forgot password” button and did the same thing in Google (5 starts across the board).

The hotel was lovey, great location, very clean, and very kind attentive staff.

However, dude to how pushy the manager was, I would not stay here again. It was too much. Everything else was great.

This is nice small boutique hotel. Right from the time I checked in to check out, the staff were really courteous and wonderful. The rooms are very nicely kept and grand. They have wonderful Turkish breakfast on the rooftop with a view of the Mosques and the water front. It is at a walking distance from the blue, and grand Sofia mosques, the spice market and the Grand Market. It has a however a little cramped for space in the hallways. Would recommend this place to anyone visiting Istanbul.

We have been very fortunate to have be able to have stayed in some lovely hotels over the years. I believe this may be the best of any of them. The hotel is beautiful, very clean and in an exceptional location for proximity to tourist attractions, restaurants and other ammenities. What makes it better than other hotels that we have used? Without doubt, Harun, the owner and all of his staff. From the lovely check-in procedure to check out time every staff member that we dealt with with was obviously keen to ensure our holiday experience was as good as they could make it. And they suceeded Thanks to Harun and all of them for their considerable efforts

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).

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 home away from home in Istanbul

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.

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.

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!

Good location for main sites

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.

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

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!

Wonderful place to stay!!!

We had an incredible stay at the White House hotel! From the moment we booked, the owner and staff were incredibly helpful and accommodating, from the email communication leading up to the trip to our entire stay there.

I am on wheelchair, and the staff could not have been more helpful in making sure that the stay was going to work for me, which even meant lifting me up the front stairs, every time I came, and left the hotel.

We had wonderful conversations with the staff, and could not speak more highly of our time there. Plus the location is perfect to the most sought after attractions in Old Istanbul, as well as great restaurants.

We would definitely stay here again!

Before staying I had some questions that I sent via the app and they were always answered in full and promptly.

From the moment we arrived Harun welcomed us with a smile, some orange juice, and Turkish delights. He went over the details of our stay and explained how everything was going to work with the reservation and check out. During our stay the staff was always extremely helpful. Taner was at the front desk every morning and would give us excellent tips on where to visit and what to expect and directions. Every morning we were greeted with a smile from Halil in the breakfast area on the rooftop patio and he would ask us about our stay so far and how we are enjoying the stay. Rahman was helpful with getting our luggage to the room and would always go out of his way to say hello when he saw us. There are so many more staff we had great interactions with that I did not get the name of.

The staff is top notch and my wife and I can safely say it was one of the friendliest and warming hotels we have stayed at. We highly recommend the property if wanting to see Istanbul.

Excellent hotel with excellent location located at the old city center, extremely clean & comfortable . Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by the friendly owner Harun with glass of juice and Turkish sweets, that was a very pleasant especially after a long trip. We even got an evil eye protection from the owner. Room decor with love sign and welcoming letter from the owner made me and my husband feel special. All hotel staff, from housekeeping, bell boy, servers to receptionist are highly professional and friendly with smiles on 24/7. Outstanding job. Breakfast delicious on the roof area with breathtaking view of Sofia mosque. After long day we were enjoying cup of coffee on the roof with again breathtaking now night view of Sofia mosque. Famous mosques, grand bazaar, shops, restaurants, metro, tramway are within walking distance 2-7 minutes. One of the best locations in Sultanahmet. Would definetely recommend this hotel to everybody! It's a true sample of excellent hospitality. Thank you again Harun and all your staff for your hospitality. My husband and I enjoyed every single minute staying here.

The White House Hotel is a good place to be!

The first thing I have to say about the White House Hotel is the staff is very friendly and truly try their best to make sure you have a comfortable stay. From the manager to check-in staff, cleaning crew and everyone who works here make you feel welcomed and appreciative of your business. I had the great pleasure of receiving an upgrade due to my status with hotels.com. A room was t available right away, but true to their word as soon as one became available they notified me. This worked out great for me and my lady to have extra room. The location is perfect is you care about seeing the major sights like the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Turkish baths, Bazaars, hop on hop off bus and plenty more. There is a corner store to get waters, tons of restaurants near by and overall great experience. I feel comfortable saying if you like what you see in the pictures, you won’t be disappointed with anything else. Another cool bonus is their rooftop terrace has an awesome view of the Hagia Sophia and a bit of the water. Thanks again to the staff for their positive energy during my first trip to Istanbul.

The quality and cleanliness of the property is immaculate. The staff is very welcoming, accommodating and helpful. I had to go on a one week trip to Paris and didn’t want to haul all my luggage and the hotel manager allowed me to leave my heavy bags at the hotel for 5 days until I returned - that was really nice, and not something you will experience at any other hotel in Istanbul. I have been to Istanbul 3 times before and stayed at luxurious corporate hotels, but the White House was my best experience. Location is excellent and within walking distance of many great attractions and transportation. The rooms are very comfortable and the view from the terrace is amazing.
I will Definitely stay at the White House on my next Istanbul vacation and recommend this hotel highly.

This hotel is over quality! Everything has probably been said by previous reviewers, but we were blown away by warm hospitality and professionalism of staff. The chain hotels could learn some valuable lessons from them. They are totally focussed on providing the best service for their guests and nothing is too much trouble for them. The bed is firm and extremely comfortable - I felt as if I was sleeping on a cloud - I wish I could have taken it home with me. The room had everything we needed,

The Turkish breakfast was a feast and different each morning. The breakfast hall which is on the terrace has breathtaking view. You get to see sunrise from behind of Haghia Sophia

If you’re visiting Istanbul, I highly recommend you to book White House Hotel it will be your temporary home. I’ll definitely stay here again when I come back!

Cute, welcoming central hotel in old city Istanbul

I had a 29 hour layover in Istanbul and this hotel did not disappoint! Harun was a great source of recommendations and treats you like family. The staff was kind and helpful. The hotel itself was central to everything. I was able to walk most places. The shower had great water pressure and was up to date which was nice after a long journey. The rooftop has a beautiful view of the Ayasofya. Overall I highly recommend staying here! Harun and his staff are very welcoming and add an extra personal touch to your visit. From the juice and tea to the welcome dessert plate, it’s like staying with family, but without the drama! I will be staying there again.
