The location was very convenient and clean, the staff (the owner and his father) were very friendly. They were always keen to help or give us advise, note that getting there by car is a real challenge, but this is probably the case for all locations in the heart of Istanbul. I do recommend this place!!

We stayed here for two nights at the beginning of our trip and the accommodations were excellent for the money. I liked it so much, I canceled another hotel I had previously booked for our last night in Istanbul. While there was a bit of confusion, the staff (I forgot his name) promptly and satisfactorily fixed any misunderstanding. One thing... More

Good location, nice hosts, small but comfortable rooms, well equipped kitchennete. Stayed for a week with a kid of 5. All the must see places are within 10 min walking distance. Tram station is very close (10 min walk). Would stay here again. Ideal location for independent travelers -- it is like renting an apartment -- not like a hotel,... More

Close to Blue mosque and short distance to tram. Apartment was serviced daily. Loved the independance of having a private apartment. Stayed there on 2 seperate ocassions in Dec 2012 and totally satisfied with everything

Apartment is really nice and clean, the owner is very friendly and helpfully. In our first day in Istanbul my father wallet was stolen in the tram and we went directly to the police. The police called Ala House and the owner came inmediatly for translating and helping. The location is perfect, just 10 min walking to the most important... More

We recently stayed in A'la House and had a good time there. The hotel is located very close to the tram station and the downtown attractions. I loved the room from the first time i saw it. It was very comfortable, clean, spacious and fulled up with all services a tourist needs. The owners were very warm, gentle and helpful!... More

Two of us spent six nights at A’la apartments at the end of October and really enjoyed our stay. Pros: Central location. All major attractions are within walking distance. Roof terrace with a view of the neighborhood and the sea. Everything is clean. New appliances (refrigerator, small stove, electric cattle). Basic cookware/utensils. Air conditioners in every room (we did not... More

We spent four nights at this hotel and we liked oour stay there. It`s a small and modest hotel, located close to downtown attractions. Owners are courteous, discreet and helpful. Rooms are basic, but clean and big enough.Even the room was a liittle noisy, that does not bother us. We like to hear the sound of Istanbul ! The roof... More

Pros: the accomodation is in the center of Sultanahmet, 7/8 minutes walk from the Blue Mosque. The staff is very nice. Cons: the quality of sleep is not very good: the doors of the rooms slam very noisy due to a device which close them automatically. The windows are provided with curtains not very thick, so there is a lot... More
