Dilhayat Kalfa Hotel

It was amazing experience. Staff was welcoming and also very helpful in all aspects. I appreciate their efforts.

I stayed in Dilhayat Khalaf for 3 nights, the check in and check out process was easy, rooms are comfortable and clean, the receptionist Abdulraheem is extremely friendly and helpful, my go to hotel whenever I am staying in Istanbul.

As the title said, the hotel location was great. A very short walking distance to the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia Museum. The room was very clean. The breakfast was simple. The people were very nice. Abdul from front desk was very helpful. He gave us a lot of useful information. We will refer this place to our friends. Overall we were having great time!

All was perfect. Comfortable bed, good breakfast, excellent service. Thank you

Charming little hotel in the heart of Old Town. Easy walk to Blue Mosque and Aya Sophia. Reception person Abdul was very welcoming, friendly and so eager to help us. After all day sightseeing, every day it was like " coming home". Very personable. It was a home of the famous 18th century woman composer Dilhayat Kalfa, nicely renovated for modern comfort. I particularly loved the tastefully decorated reception area and staircase.

We stayed at the hotel for a week and it was everything we could ask for. It was clean and comfortable and had all of the facilities we needed. The view from the terrace was superb and we especially enjoyed having breakfast there. The room we stayed in was a good size and perfect for our needs. The location was perfect for the places we wanted to visit, for example, the Blue Mosque was literally a three minutes walk, and Hagi Sophia a few minutes further. Other key locations such as Topkapi Palace and other museums are all within walking distance, and the Grand Bazaar is also around 15 minutes walk away thus not needing to rely on any public transport. The coast is also just a 10 minutes walk away- downhill ! The manager of the hotel Abdul Rahim is a credit to the profession. He was friendly, polite, professional and courteous and did all he could to make our stay comfortable. He has sound knowledge of the area and was always happy to provide advice. The added bonus is that the hotel is in a quiet area and there are plenty of places to eat in very close proximity. All in all, I highly recommend this hotel and would happily stay there again. Thank you for making our stay so great.

A very comfortable clean hotel to stay in. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. Geographically the location of the hotel is brilliant as it is within walking distance of the public transports, taxi stands, Topkapı place, blue mosque and Aya Sophia amongst other places. The service team are very friendly and supportive. I will be coming back here again to stay and I would highly recommend this hotel to others, especially if you’re travelling on a budget.

If you are a light sleeper like me, this hotel is very suitable for you as it’s very quiet at night although it’s close to major tourist attractions! Take Airport Bus 16, you will arrive at the place near the mosque. Just a 8min walk and you will arrive at the hotel! I really enjoy the breakfast located on the rooftop with a gorgeous sea view! The 2 ladies on the rooftop are very nice and always smile at me. There is a power socket near my bed so that I could use and charge my phone while lying lazily in bed. More importantly, the receptionist, Abdul, was passionate about his job. He was eager in introducing me the tourist spots and helping me solve my problems with his fluent English. I would definitely come back to this hotel the next time I visit Istanbul!

It was amazing hotel was fantastic specially the staff all of them .I felt as I live in my home .
