There's a room on the top floor of this guesthouse that is worth the trip up all the stairs (unfortunately there isn't an elevator). The view was literally breathtaking. Add the helpfulness and friendliness of the owner and his assistant and you've got one super stay in Istanbul. What a wonderful honeymoon!

This gem in the heart of Sultanahmet is where we stay when in Istanbul. Perfect location, excellent views from the terrace, good advice from the staff, Dogan and Kemal speak english well. In fact there is nothing which speaks against staying there, and I have been to Istanbul more than 40 times. Major attractions close, easy to get to other... More

This place is quite unique in the sense that it offers some of the best views in the Sultanahmet but not at a 5 star cost. The breakfast room is just spectacular, with views of the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. Also if you want, you can sit up there anytime and you can go one level higher if... More

While only a ten-minute walk from all of the historic wonders of the Sultanahmet (Blue Mosque, Topkapı Palace, Hagia Sophia, and Basilica Cistern to name a few) as well as a multitude of restaurants, tea gardens, and the Arasta Bazaar, the Terrace Guesthouse is located in a quieter section of this tourist neighborhood, surrounded by a few carpet shops and...

Dogan and his staff were so helpful and responsive to our every request. Be prepared for the spiral staircase, but everything else made up for the climb... More

The Terrace is in a wonderful location in Istanbul, within very convenient walking distance of the Blue Mosque, Aya Sofia, and Topkapi Palace.

The service is very personal...we had to leave for the airport at 3:30 a.m. and the staff had arranged a... More

Our 9 night stay at this superb guest house was an unbelievable experience! Dogan and his staff are 3 of the nicest, most helpful and super-friendly people I have met. We were treated like favourite family. The location is fantastic - in the heart of Sultanahmet, 2 blocks from the Aya Sofya and Blue Mosque. The views from the terrace... More

I 've been in some hotels in Istanbul and at the end I found this guesthouse, and, according to me, it is the best accomodation. I always felt very good there every time I came back in Istanbul, so I decided to advise it to other travellers. Because I think it's the best I could find in Istabul at that... More
