Hotel is ideally located in Sultanahmet, so a short walk to most visited sites. Lots of restaurants nearby. Not a chain, so rather an individual property, in a good way. All staff were great, although the breakfast team were especially so, who all seem genuinely pleased to welcome you each morning. The breakfast is also marvellous.

Aaron is a star employee!!

The room was clean and quiet. Staff were helpful and friendly especially Aaron who went to great lengths to help us contact the airline when our flight was cancelled and our airport transfers operators to make amendments due to new flights information. So grateful about it. Breakfast was fantastic.The only negative comment is that Wifi was bad.

Hotel is very unique and adds this lovely touch of exploration to the stay as each room is related to some famous person, musician, artist, writer, etc. Very convenient location, just minutes from all main touristic places and at the same time to the waterfront to enjoy evening walks. Staff is super helpful and welcoming, Eren is the superstar! Everyone who was serving at the breakfast are top notch (and breakfast itself a separate experience in such a beautiful city)! Highly recommended for authentic, boutique experience.

We had a wonderful time at Hotel Poem!!! We stayed last month and had an amazing experience - Eren (the receptionist) was such a joy to be around and made us feel right at home every day. The Turkish breakfast was delightful, with new and different items every morning. Location is unbeatable, just steps away from Hagia Sophia/Blue Mosque/Basilica Cistern. Hagia Sophia also has a tram stop, so it made getting to the rest of the city also very easy. 10/10 recommend!

Amazing place to stay close to attractions

Everything about this boutique hotel was amazing. The location is within walking distance of most attractions and there are plenty of shops and dining within a block of the hotel. The breakfast was one of the largest and best breakfast we have experienced from a hotel. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly and the room was clean and comfortable. We will definitely stay here again if/when we come back to Istanbul.
