Reviews
They also allowed us to leave our bags there even though we checked in before 14:00. Breakfast was really nice!
Variety and nicely served and plated. The aesthetic of the hotel in general is really beautiful! Even the plates are beautiful and unique.
Another nice note is that they
lend umbrellas and that's something we haven't seen in small hotels!
The only downside I would say is that for our room there was no lift, just stairs so it might be challenging if you have big suitcases like us. When we checked in, the staff helped us with the bags but for the check out we did it in our own (we didn't want to ask them. The rest of the floors have a lift though! Also it's definitely not a hotel for disabled people, accessibility wise.
Good location few minutes from SultanAhmet square. Lots of places to dine . Friendly staff. Luggage storage. Lift . Wonderful breakfast . They can organise airport transfer
Will definitely come again

We had an amazing stay at RW Boutique Hotel! The location is ideal—just a block from the Blue Mosque. The staff were kind and welcoming, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and breakfast was always delicious. The coffee shop is excellent too, with tasty pastries and great cappuccinos. We would definitely stay here again!
Our stay at RW Boutique Hotel in Istanbul was absolutely wonderful! The location is perfect, just a block away from the Blue Mosque in the SultanAhmet area, making it easy to explore the historic city.
The staff were exceptionally kind, professional, and welcoming throughout our stay. Since our trip was extended, we ended up staying in three different rooms, all of which were spotless, comfortable, and well-maintained.
Every morning the breakfast was delicious, and the hotel’s coffee shop quickly became our favorite spot. The pastries were fresh and tasty, and the cappuccinos and lattes were excellent—great quality at a very reasonable price. The café staff were always friendly, warm, and kind, which made our mornings even better.
Overall, RW Boutique Hotel exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Istanbul—it’s charming, welcoming, and has an unbeatable location.
