I have to thank Trip Advisor first for helping me decide where to stay. My husband and I were travelling for 5.5 mos around the world and this site was invaluable to us and all the places we booked that were highly ranked here turned out pretty great. It totally made for a very comfortable and easier trip for us.... more

This charming B&Bis a wonderful place. We felt very much welcome and were treated rather as friends than "just" guests. It is a safe and honest and quiet place in a buzzing city. We had a good sleep (excellent beds), excellent breakfast and the best information provided. We wish Mehdi and Dilek all the best for their hidden treasure -... more

Visited in March 2009. Room was spacious and comfortable. However, shower and hairdryer left much to be desired. Breakfast was Turkish. Fruit bowl not replenished during the week of our stay.

My partner and I stayed at the Ahmet Efendi Evi for 3 nights in November 2008. This was my introduction to Turkey; she had been here many times. This is a delightful small hotel – in the Sultanahmet area just minutes by foot from the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia, etc. Our room even had a view of the Blue Mosque,... more

This is a wonderful place to stay in Istanbul. The location is a super close walk to the old town sights which means it is IN Old Town. It is in a very old wooden building, on a street with other very old wooden buildings. Don't book this place to stay in a swanky location that feels as if you... more

Great B+B. Very attentive. This B+B deserves all the praise and accolades it receives. more

Hi Guys, I needed to share my experience about trying to book this hotel as we are very disapointed about the outcome. We are planning to travel to Istanbul in 2009 and requested a price for 4 adults and 2 children for 4 nights. We were offered a family room and a double room for this period. The response we... more
