Dilhayat Kalfa Hotel

Pros: Great location, nice traditional hotel, close to all main points in Istanbul.

Cosy place in perfect location 😍

Pros: This place is super cosy and the location is perfect. Breakfast is very good. And the sea view from the terrace was amazing. We really enjoyed our stay at Dilhayat Kalfa Hotel!

Very nice hotel

Pros: We had a lovely stay at this hotel! The owner was extremely kind, helpful, and welcoming, he made us feel right at home. He gave us great recommendations for local restaurants, and when we wanted to buy lokums and baklavas as gifts, he kindly suggested Zaitoune in Findikzade, and it was absolutely delicious! We were also pleasantly surprised to be upgraded to the suite, which was spacious, comfortable, and truly made our stay special. The hotel is very well located, in a safe and convenient neighborhood. Overall, everything went well and we sincerely recommend this hotel!

Cons: The only downside was the breakfast service. We sometimes felt rushed while eating, and when we asked for certain items, we were told the kitchen was closed, even though we were still within the breakfast hours. That part was a bit disappointing, but it didn’t overshadow the rest of our experience.

Great

Pros: The breakfast was great - we had a room with a fold out bed and queen bed. Clean and well positioned

Cons: All good

Comfortable. Easy access to main attractions in Istanbul.

Pros: During my short stay. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

The room was quite big enough and they ensure cleanliness well, Friendly staff.

Pros: 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.

Cons: There was nothing as such but for food, not much option for vegetarian people.

Pros: 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.

Cons: Everything was absolutely perfect

Beautiful hotel

Pros: We loved this hotel. The manager was incredibly welcoming, friendly and kind. The house itself is incredibly beautiful, with beautiful furniture, and it’s situated in a fabulous location. The breakfast was a lovely surprise too. We loved it so much we’ve booked to stay again when we return to Istanbul.

Cons: Nothing at all

Pros: Delicious breakfast on a lovely terrace. Staff were very helpful with extras such as early check-in, booking taxis and doing laundry.

Cons: We were given two single beds pushed together instead of a double bed. The shower head was also broken.

Excellent staff, clean, spacious room, great distance to city square.

Pros: 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.

Cons: Unfortunately the local area was experiencing electricity outages which caused some difficulties with the AC in the Summer heat.
