Could not have asked for a better stay in Istanbul. This is the same review I posted on Booking.com. My husband and I spent two nights in another hotel in Sultanahmet and thought the hospitality there was amazing. It pales in comparison to World House Boutique Hotel. Entering an unassuming doorway, we were not expecting much but immediately Ismail greeted us and gifted us complimentary teas/coffee/lemonade etc. from their cafe, while he checked us in. This really felt like an oasis of calm from the hustle bustle of the street outside, and afterwards Ismail gave us some information about the surrounding areas and also made genuine conversation, which we greatly appreciated. Ismail helped us take our luggage to our third floor room. I was filled with joy to see the snacks/fruit/tea in our room as well as complimentary soda's in the fridge but particularly impressed by the L'Occitane toiletries. There is a mosque (camii) next door and we enjoyed the atmosphere of the dawn azhan (call to prayer) even though it woke us up early. The next morning, we had the pleasure to meet Murat who ordered a chocolate sahlep and turpentine coffee for us to go, whilst sharing important ferry times which helped us catch the ferry to Adalar. After a very tiring day, we returned and the room had been cleaned spotlessly. After a shower we wanted to have a San Sebastian cake downstairs as it's 50% for guests. We called reception, and Ismail informed us that it closes at 22:30 (in one hour) but also to come down as he would like to offer a gift. We were treated to teas and the San Sebastian cake that I wanted! Sometimes in hospitality you can feel that staff are just being nice because it is their job, but Ismail is special because his hospitality transcended that and I felt that he and my husband were having genuine conversation, impressively in Arabic! Finally, as if that was not enough, Ismail offered us a late checkout. We heard a knock shortly after returning to the third floor, and it was Ismail with two Turkish towels tied with evil eye beads, a gift for us. Thank you, Ismail!. .

. The whole team was fabulous! Each and every one was helpful, efficient, polite and went out of their way to make our trip wonderful. I was traveling with my mother who can’t walk too far. The hotel staff was very helpful by telling us where to dine, and shop so mom would not have to walk too far. The location of the hotel is excellent- under the shadow of the Galata Tower. Very lively location. . .

Unique Hotel. This is a unique hotel. We stayed in the room at the top with the terrace and the views over Istanbul and the Galata Tower were awesome. The hotel has a family feel and the staff were so welcoming and obliging. We really couldn't fault them at all. Thank you!. .
