We have been very fortunate to have be able to have stayed in some lovely hotels over the years. I believe this may be the best of any of them. The hotel is beautiful, very clean and in an exceptional location for proximity to tourist attractions, restaurants and other ammenities. What makes it better than other hotels that we have used? Without doubt, Harun, the owner and all of his staff. From the lovely check-in procedure to check out time every staff member that we dealt with with was obviously keen to ensure our holiday experience was as good as they could make it. And they suceeded Thanks to Harun and all of them for their considerable efforts

What I liked best about the White House hotel was the welcoming and friendly attitude of the staff. I needed lactose free milk and they went to the store and got it to provide it for me. For a small boutique hotel this one is one of the best.

This property has great reviews but this is an average boutique hotel. The location is great and the hotel owner cares about the property but the standard room is disappointing (very small, could use updating, and lacked some basics you often see in an upmarket hotel no electrical outlet near the bed, the deadbolt lock did not work, safe too small for a standard laptop, no bathrobe or clothes iron). Most importantly the shower was too small for a 6ft tall person and was similar to what you will find on cruise ships - couldn't shower (which you will do 2x day in summertime Istanbul) without bumping knees, elbows).

My stay at the White House Hotel in Istanbul was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the warmth and hospitality of the owner, Harun, who makes every guest feel welcome and comfortable. It's clear he puts his heart and soul into the hotel, reflected in every detail. The breakfast is excellent, offering a wide variety of fresh and delicious options. Waking up to the stunning view of the Hagia Sophia each morning is priceless, and the hotel's location is perfect for exploring Istanbul's rich history and culture. What truly sets the White House Hotel apart is the feeling of being at home. Thanks to Harun and his team's personal touch, guests feel like part of a big family. The genuine hospitality and cozy atmosphere make leaving hard and returning a must. In summary, the White House Hotel is not just a place to stay but an experience. Exceptional hospitality, comfort, delicious breakfast, breathtaking views, and an unmatched sense of home make it a perfect choice for anyone visiting Istanbul. I highly recommend the White House Hotel for a memorable stay in this enchanting city.

My home away from home in Istanbul
I am a frequent visitor to Istanbul. I prefer to stay in the Sultanahmet, because my friends like family work and some live there or near there. I have stayed at the White House repeatedly over the last three years. It is beyond all measure the best hotel in the neighborhood, considering convenience, comfort, service including a true Turkish breakfast, price and all other criteria. For me the only additional thing I could ask is that they install handrails on the entrance from the street stairs that blend with the style of the house.

If you are looking for a very clean hotel to stay in with an acceptable budget then it will be this hotel. We booked 2 rooms after we read the positive reviews about it. Without exaggeration, their cleanliness level is very high standard. There aren't black stain lines in the bathroom, the drainage wholes aren't rusty, everything is very clean . The staff are very friendly and helpful, smiling all day. The hotel manager and owner have great customer service skills. They gave us a welcome drink and lokum when we arrived. The breakfast options and quantity are acceptable and delicious. The hotel location is very near to tourism sights such as aya sofya and tramvay. When we left the hotel manager maneged to prepare us a car with a price less than the taxi price. Also we forgot our things in the hotel and the hotel manager was very cooperative to send us our things by post. For sure I will stay with them again.

Enjoyable city, complemented by Lovely Hotel
A very enjoyable and entertaining stay in Istanbul, with lovely sites and friendly people. Would do it again! The White House Hotel is/was part of the positive experience too. It is well located near attractions and transportation. The hotel is clean and well maintained. The Service is impeccable, gracious and friendly. Breakfast is good and plentiful, much needed because of all the walking to do for enjoying the city! Rooms are nice, but small. To get around this we chose a triple room even though there were just two of us. Thanks to the owner, Harun Cardirci, Mehmet, Kemal, and the team for making our stay so memorable and comfortable!
