The room was spacious, modern, clean and nicely decorated. Liked the fact that there is a shower too, instead of just the jacuzzi/bath. Staff was really polite and helped us with our bags up the stairs to our room.
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.

Everyone on staff in both the hotel and cafe were incredibly helpful and kind. Breakfast every morning was delicious and we were always brought something new. The location was perfect as well, just a few steps away from major monuments such as the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque, as well as necessities like restaurants and small shops.

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.

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.

What can I say about this hotel, pure hospitality and a must stay when your in Istanbul. Take it from me the service is special especially Mehmut and Sena who always greet you and take care of you whenever you need. Sena especially well done!
