Great location
Perfect location for exploring the old town but away from hustle and bustle. You have a bakery 2 mins walk called Evin that serves great breakfast and coffees. The apartments are clean, spacious and maintained. Any questions you can reach the team managing on Whatapp. Airport transfer very handy.

The room is great with complete facilities, location not far from the Sultanahmet area, only 10 minutes walk..
11.11.2024 Guest
From pics looks a very nice suite but is not, Short ceiling, struggled for hot water and they don’t provide even a small bottle of water in the room. View is not that stunning (the one in pics is on the other building which u make breakfast) Regarding breakfast, it is very poor, I suggest you to walk few meters and you’ll find much better. Zero cleaning! They didn’t come once in 5 days and reception is always empty, we saw a man (even rude) just at check in time. I won’t give 1 star just for room size, which is not bad and location. But for the rest much better looking other choices! Reminder”” get a SIM card, internet is really slow!

Excellent choice
The ideal accommodation for a few days in Istanbul. A quiet neighborhood just a few minutes' walk from the main sights, with a beautiful mosque right next door. The room was perfect and the staff were attentive and always smiling! We had a wonderful stay... thank you!
03.10.2023 Guest
We booked here as we wanted a 2 rooms apartment- and it’s centrally located in Sultanahmet old town for a reasonable price. Check in was easy and the room was adequately equipped. Our package included bed and breakfast- so they served a simple breakfast menu in a sister apartment 2 mins walk away. Maisara was a great host, helped us to store luggage’s after check out and booked a taxi to the airport upon departure. Highly recommended!

The hosts are friendly and helpful. The location (Al Fatih, not far from Aya Sofia Mosque) is quiet and calm. There are a few quite nice restaurants and shops in the area, which makes it comfortable.

I enjoyed my whole 8-day stay with my family here at Emirhan House. The host is hospitable, accommodative, informative, helpful and considerate. The staff are really polite, speak good English and easy to communicate with. House is clean and service is outstanding. Thank you.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at this hotel. From the moment I arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. The service was impeccable, the rooms were spotless and beautifully decorated, and every detail was thoughtfully taken care of.

The location was perfect, the amenities were top-notch, and the overall atmosphere was both relaxing and luxurious. I can confidently say this was one of the best hotel stays I’ve ever had. Highly recommended – I will definitely be coming back!

I stayed at this hotel with my father for 7 days. The location is impeccable. We stayed in one of the rooms facing the hippodrome and it was really worth it. The breakfast was also very good and varied and the view was just wonderful. But the best part of this hotel was its kind, professional and friendly staff. Everyone, from the ladies who prepared breakfast, to the house keepers, to the receptionists, were all extremely warm and friendly. Mr. Mesut, the manager was incredibly helpful and gave us a lot of good guidance on what to do and see. He was really polite, kind nad professional. I can't say enough about how welcome him and his team made us feel. Next time we are in Istanbul, we will do our best to book a room with them again. 5 stars.
