Dilhayat Kalfa Hotel

This was the third time my family and I stayed at Dilhayat Kalfa when we've been to Istanbul. Excellent service from the staff, good quality breakfast with a variety each day. Rooms are spacious and clean, and the bathroom is well ventilated, a problem when we have travelled to other cities. Moreover, the WiFi connection is good in the rooms we have stayed in, essential in this time and age. The hotel is in a perfect location to all of the main sightseeing spots in Istanbul. It has local supermarkets and restaurants very close by as well as several shops where you can buy affordable souvenirs - better prices than the bazaars! One thing that stood out to us this time was the kidnness of the staff. The hotel went above and beyond in sending over some jackets that were left behind in the hotel, Abdur-Raheem was the epitome of kind, understanding, and hospitable in ensuring our jackets made it back to London.

Location, staff and safety around the area. Hotel Owner/Manager Abdul helped us early check-in which was very helpful and the other lady prepared breakfast every morning. The hotel terrace has sea view which was amazing for sunrise view. The blue mosque, tram station and many restaurants are just near by - walking distance. There was always a police car at the front of the hotel area, ensuring safe environment.

The hotel is very well located, less than 10 mins walk to the 4 major tourist points, Blue Mosque, Aya Sophia, Basilic Cistern, and Topkapi Palace. The hotel and rooms were very clean, and well- equipped (electric kettle, refrigerator). The staff was good, and the manager, who was almost always available at the front desk, was extremely friendly and helpful, and readily provided us with tips and suggestions for our daily visits into the town. Breakfast was good, wholesome, and was served in a room with a terrace and views on the sea, which was a great start to our days.

Excellent location, close to blue mosque 10 mins walk. Tram station 10 mins walk and very easy to use. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Has everything you need for a comfortable stay. We stayed in a room for 4, what I would say is the mattress was very thin and you could feel the springs, we had a child sleeping on it but he said he wasn’t comfortable.

The stay was perfect. Central location, very nice and cozy hotel. Abdullah is very kind and makes it an even more special place. I will definitely return.
