Having travel around the world and stayed in hotels on six different continents--from luxury to boutique--I find Bram Hotel to be at the very top tier of my most enjoyable hotel stays for a couple of reasons. 1) The attentiveness, care, and service are unequal. The owners are welcoming, helpful, and kind. They go out of their way to be helpful and accommodating. The personal touch is just splendid. I was given a wonderful quick overview of the city and the surrounding area attractions upon arrival. The hotel is well kept and immaculately clean. 2) The hotel is steps away from dining, many major sites including the Blue Mosque, Grand Bazaar, and many other amazing sights things. If you like courteous and personable customer service, you'll love this place and fall in love with Istanbul as a plus.

Believe the good reviews, Bram is great!
I thought the ratings for this hotel were suspiciously high & too good to be true. They were not. Bram Hotel was great, and I’d love to stay there again sometime. The hosts were so friendly and helpful (and one or the other of them were always available on the ground floor!), breakfast was delicious and beautifully presented, and somehow they managed to clean our room in the short time in which we went downstairs for breakfast each day. The soundproof windows did a great job, and the neighborhood was great - lots of restaurants nearby, but quieter than the busiest tourist areas.

Hotel was modest but comfortable. Owners very friendly and helpful. Breakfast very substantial. Location was fairly central with a short walk to the main square. Lots of restaurants nearby.

The owners are amazing! They where in contact prior to our arrival. Arranged airport pick up and drop off. The brothers are very special, they treated us like family. The attention to detail was unimaginable. The breakfast was so fresh and delicious. The location is central, walking distance to all the main sites of interests. They also introduced us to an amazing tour guide that speaks English and Spanish. We had such an amazing experience my son is now planning his trip and will be staying here as well. Highly recommended!

Every aspect of my recent stay at the Bram Hotel was great. Staff, especially owner/manager Ali incredible helpful and friendly. As soon as I booked on Travelocity, I got a message from him confirming and offering to answer any questions about Istanbul and transfers from airport. He spent some time each morning giving me sight suggestions and info on how to best reach them. Bram hotel is impeccably clean throughout, from very nice lobby and cafe are to rooms. My room was modern, updated, and quiet. Cafe was open for breakfast (nice one included with my Travelocity booking) and for tea and snacks at other times. Rooftop lounge area with great panoramic views of Istanbul. Bram is within easy walking distance of Sultanamet Square, Hippodrome area, and Blue Mosque, with Haghia Sophia and Topkapi a bit further off but very walkable. Highly recommended.

Great property and yummy breakfast in the heart of Sultanahmet. A big thank you to Ali and Tarkan for the most homely stay. They were such an amazing host and provided us with so much knowledge about Istanbul and offering us ideas on how to best experience the city in our short stay. Great property only made better with the one of a kind hospitality. Look forward to being back in our next trip.

My stay at the Bram Hotel was excellent in every respect, from the time I booked it and Ali (the owner/manager) contacted me via WhatsApp to see if I had any questions or needed transportation from the airport. This personal care was evident in all aspects of my stay. Ali and his family gave me travel advice and directions, as well as all sorts of useful advice invaluable to a traveler in a new city. Bram Hotel itself was impeccably clean in all respects, including my room, common areas and the (very very nice) cafe and breakfast area. My room was very well-appointed and had new, modern fixtures and bathroom. Great rooftop area too with panoramic view of Istanbul. Hotel was very conveniently located, within easy walking distance of many major sights in Sultanamet, including Blue Mosque, Hippodrome Square, and Haghia Sophia. I'd highly recommend Bram hotel for someone wanting an excellent, safe, and pleasant small hotel, with an owner and staff who are truly outstanding and very very nice, friendly, welcoming people.

Super clean, comfortable, great ac and walking distance to the major sites. The breakfasts are generous portions and very tasty. But what is so special about Bram are the owners, who make you feel like the Bram is your home away from home. Whatever you want to see or do, they will make the arrangements. Ali was an incredible host and so helpful. Lovely view from the terrace, which is a great place to sit and have a drink.

Outstanding hosts Ali and Tarkin make this small hotel a home away from home. From the initial warm greeting and welcome drink, to assistance with daily outings and the generous gourmet individual breakfast platters, there is nothing to fault. A great location for exploring Sultanahmet square and the mosques with wide selection of restaurants and local cafes. The rooftop terrace is perfect for evening relaxation and listening to the calls to prayer. Soundproof rooms, comfortable beds and 24hr on call assistance makes this a great place to stay.
