Hotel Poem

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Hotel Poem in Istanbul this November, and it was an absolutely delightful experience. The hotel was both comfortable and cozy, offering a warm and inviting atmosphere that made us feel right at home. The location was unbeatable—just a stone's throw from Sultanahmet Square, with countless restaurants and attractions within easy walking distance. It was the perfect base for exploring the heart of Istanbul. Breakfast was a highlight, with a divine spread of traditional meze, sweets, and an option for freshly prepared eggs—fried, scrambled, or as an omelette. Every morning felt like a feast! The staff were exceptional—friendly, attentive, and always ready to cater to our needs. Their hospitality truly made our stay unforgettable. I highly recommend Hotel Poem for anyone looking for a charming stay in Istanbul with fantastic service and an ideal location. I can’t wait to return!

It is truly the best boutique hotel I have ever visited. We spent there 4nights, and I literally cannot say anything bad about this hotel. I had the most standard room option so room had no view to the sea but everything else was fabulous. Big thick curtains which stopped 99% of daylight, amazing rain shower with proper water pressure, large shower area, nice cosmetics, fresh nice smell in the room and whole hotel, very comfortable big bed, quiet room, and 2 most important aspects: incredible breakfast, it is quite likely that you will not find better breakfast in any other hotel in Istanbul, and amazing people working in hotel. You absolutely rock - very helpful, very kind, very positive, no problems in communicating in English, giving advices far beyond regular call of duty - such as organizing jar of jam as a gift as soon as we asked what it is (yummy carrot jam) or giving us exact directions and contacts where to buy beautiful porcelain used to serve breakfasts in the hotel). Free bottles of water in the fridge everyday was also very nice. Regarding the location - it is around 10minutes on foot to Sultanahmet T1 tram station - the most central tramline in the city - so you can easily get anywhere from here. By the way - public transport here is amazing, forget about car, enjoy travelling by metro, trams, buses, funicular and… multiple amazing passenger ferries cruises through Bosphorus - cost per ticket is around 0,50 Euro! I absolutely recommend the city itself and Poem Hotel in particular to everyone. just book it for many days as we stayed here 5days, and it was still not enough to visit everything despite 60km on foot and more than 30tickets used.

Perfect, I usually do not write review but this hotel is amazing, the staffs are so friendly and helpful. The breakfast started at 8pm, but we had to go airport earlier. They still tried their best to prepare the breakfast for us. Excellent service, clean room, everyday our room was made very tidy. The bed is comfortable and spotless. Recommended!

* This hotel is really well located in the heart of Istanbul and is quite intimate and quiet. The value for money is definitely worth it. We walked a lot and many things were accessible walking. * The breakfast was absolutely amazing. We stayed 5 nights and every day there was a variety of sweet and savoury treats. * Definitely worth using the 55 euros airport transfer as this is what we paid for the whole family of 5 and it was really well organised. Avoid taking taxis as they tend to scam you and use this service.

The highest quality services, the excellent accommodation conditions, the fabulous breakfast, but above all the care and kindness with which the hotel staff surrounded us, made the stay at Hotel Poem an unforgettable memory. We will definitely come back!
