A touch of Old Istanbul
I stayed in the room with the terrace on the top floor for 7 nights. It's an interesting hotel with a lot of character. Pros: view of blue mosque from the terrace at night is mystical, the hostess is amazing at directing everyone to really interesting adventures and giving you some sense of the grandeur of Istanbul, the location is just enough out of the tourist flow to feel interesting but still close to the main tourist attractions. Cons: a few maintenance flaws in the bathroom, some of the stuff is a bit old, walking up the hill to the metro stop was fun at first but got old after 7 days of it. Overall I recommend it, you get a taste of old Istanbul while still being right next to the big tourist attractions. The little flaws appeared as charming.

Secure, friendly, affordable lodging close to Old City touristic sites. Challenging to find the first time from public transit. Family run business, small rooms. Ours had a roof deck with sea view. We’d stay here again.

Lovely place in the old city
Great place and everyone was so nice. The hotel is a lovely place right at the center of the old city thus close to all major place worth visiting.we had a lovely room at the top with a view on the city partial sea view. Breakfast was nice. And they will organise transport to airport with very reasonable rates.

A fantastic gem. A sweet small boutique hotel with an expert host. Wonderful hidden location with close access to the blue mosque and all the sites. Beautiful spot with flowers and lovely restaurants next door. We are from the US and needed a Covid test to get home, the hotel called and had a nurse come and do the test for $10, it made everything so easy. Our family will be back soon, it was a wonderful place.

Great place to stay
Very Good Hotel, very friendly an helpful staff, it has a very homely feel. The lady at reception was always smiling and always greeted me with a warm welcome every time I came through the reception. Has a very cosy little garden terrace downstairs. walking distance from most famous landmarks and in a very quite street. Close to restaurants. The WiFi at the hotel was always good. I would highly recommend this place if your a couple or family. I've been to Istanbul a few times and this was by far the best hotel so far. Only down side My shower was a bit small could just about fit but i managed so not a major issue.

I had an amazing stay at Ahmet Efendi Evi. Thank you to the owner, Gonul, her son Jonus and housekeeper Musa for their friendliness, kindness and hospitality to make my stay a memorable one. I've always stayed in chain hotels being on vacation but after staying at Ahmet Efendi Evi I will never stay in chain hotels anymore. I've met so many people at this little gem and some became friends. Ahmet Efendi Evi is so central to explore Istanbul by foot. I will be back in August / Sept. Thanks again Gonul, Jonus and Musa!!!
