This was such a reviving experience for us after an action packed 4 wks in Turkey. A lovely hotel, beautiful rooms,around a lush garden. Just the kind of oasis that we hadn't realised we needed for our last few days in Turkey. In the end we spent quite a bit of time in the garden and reading room of this... More

Recently stayed at the Garden House on a first trip to Istanbul, and would definitely recommend it to anyone! Its excellent location is in a great part of the old city, with winding streets that you can spend all day wandering about, discovering shops and places for Turkish coffee. It is a 5 minute walk to the Blue Mosque and... More

We stayed for four nights. Great location only a couple blocks from the Blue Mosque and tram line that will take you anywhere in Istanbul you'd want to go. Small but immaculate room, amazing breakfast with tons of choices, and wonderful staff. There's a great little sunroom and garden that has free tea, coffee, cookies, and cake. Only drawback is...
