Fantastic little hotel just 5 minutes walk from the Blue Mosque and with great restaurants just round the corner. Our room was huge - quite different from reviews of other hotels in old Istanbul and our host Alper was amazingly friendly. Breakfast was a large pre-prepated platter - see picture - but we were also offered omelettes. Overall we fealt the hotel was amazing and set us up for a fantastic stay in Istanbul.

Not really a negative for us but worth mentioning that the hotel was right next to the railway line and although trains could be heard passing, they were quite infrequent and didn't affect our sleep.

no doubt, i like everything about this place. the room is very very clean and well arranged. you will also find many amenities in the bathroom. this place is just so warm and comfy. moreover, i really like the hospitality here. i can say, this is really one of a kind. i travelled solo and i didnt feel like I was alone. in the afternoon or night, I had chit chat with Alper and he thought me the Turkish culture which I liked to learn. my special thanks to Alper for your kindness and everything. you really help me in so many ways. to whoever read my review, this place is gonna be your best decision to make. and for sure, i would love to be back and stay again in this place 🤍

nothing. everything was soooo perfect!

It is small private hotel. OUr room was on the top floor so we had to climb steep stairs. But I enjoyed it because the view from the room was very good - you could see Blue Mosque right out of the window. Also good restaurants were walking distance from the hotel. The staff was friendly and helped us with Taxi back to the airport. This hotel felt like home for our 4 days in Istanbul. Thank you!

Old city Istanbul has essentially no pedestrian walkways so you need to be on alert about cars constantly. It is obviously not a complaint about property, but something to be aware for new visitors.

The room was beautiful and tidy, with a very nice decoration and an ultra comfortable bed. The location is amazing as it is located very close to Hagia Sofia and the Blue Mosque among other important landmarks, but even if located in such a central area, the hotel is super quiet and safe. Breakfast was very good and abundant! Even if a could continue listing good things about the hotel services and infrastructure, what really stands out and the reason why I would recommend this hotel to everybody is the service from Alper and the girls working in the kitchen and cleaning. They go above and beyond to help, make sure you have everything you need and make the most of the time you spend in Istanbul. Alper will make sure you feel welcomed and will help way above what is standard in the hotel industry. That is something very special that you won't find everywhere, but here you certainly will!

Nothing to say, everything was wonderful!

I had an absolutely delightful stay at White Palace Old City Boutique Hotel! The charm of this beautiful boutique hotel is truly unmatched. The splendid location added an extra layer of magic to our experience, allowing us to explore the old city with ease. What truly sets this hotel apart is the exceptional hospitality provided by the staff, particularly Alper. His attention to detail and warm demeanor made our stay truly memorable. A heartfelt thank you to Alper and the entire team for creating a wonderful atmosphere that made us feel right at home. I highly recommend White Palace to anyone seeking a perfect blend of luxury, charm, and impeccable service.

Alper was a fantastic host. Away from the hustle and bustle. The breakfast was amazing. Rooms spacious and very comfortable. This was a little find on booking.com. Situated In a lovely little neighborhood 10 - 15 minute walk from the Blue mosque in the old city. Away from the hustle and bustle. Alper was an amazing host, the rooms lovely clean and spacious. Breakfast was amazing and nothing was too much trouble. I cannot recommend this place enough. My husband and I had an amazing stay xxx

Nothing first class boutique hotel.

Our stay was really nice! Cosy, clean, big room with all necessary facilities, well equipped bathroom, excellent big breakfast. Соmplimentary bottles of water every day. The hairdryer was blowing well. Accurate transfer from and to airport, very reliable, highly recommended. The place is very convenient: 4 min from the Sea of Marmara, 7 min from Blue Mosque, a few really good restaurants nearby, very quiet. There was a fantastic smell of history in the room, not musty, but nobility! And the building itself is not a modern impersonal building but a mansion with history and character. Alper, our sincerest gratitude for your hospitality and feeling that we were at home !

- it would be better to have a blanket instead of thick sheet - the bathroom in our room was very small, not a problem for us, but for a large size person could be.

Everything you have read previously about Alper, the hotel's manager, is true. He is just wonderful. There is nothing he won't do to make your stay comfortable. Our room was just lovely, clean and very comfortable. Each morning he personally served a traditional style Turkish breakfast. The hotel is in a great location for all the attractions and exploring Istanbul's old city, as well as some top class restaurants. A great stay. Thank you Alper!

Nothing.

Alper was extremely welcoming and helpful throughout our stay and made us feel at home in Istanbul. Breakfast was lovely and plentiful and the room was very comfortable, with all the facilities we needed. The location was perfect for getting to the main sites of Sultanahmet and there were plenty of decent restaurants nearby.

The hotel, and our room in particular, backed straight on to a train line so the trains disturbed us a little bit. However, they were not as loud as the call to prayer!

The hotel is situated within a charming house in the old city which is nearly 100 years old. It has a lot of character and original features which have been lovingly and sensitively restored. It’s incredibly located for all of the old city highlights which are all within easy walking distance. The team are very kind and attentive. We felt really looked after and cared for throughout. The breakfast is traditional and fabulous.

Nothing!
