My sister and I stayed here for about 10 days and as two ladies staying alone in Istanbul for the first time were so happy with the location! The people running the B &B are so nice and accommodating, it was like staying with family. Abdul Raheem was amazing! My sister had to go to urgent care and he made arrangements for us with a trusted taxi to take us and bring us back. He also helped call the hospital and speak to the staff later when we needed help getting the report. Above and beyond service is an understatement! Also the location of this place is great! We could walk to almost anywhere in SultanAhmet day or night with no issues! And the view from the breakfast terrace is amazing! If I ever come back to Istanbul I'll definitely stay here again!

We had some problems with our initial check in and the state of the room when we arrived, which was really frustrating. However, what made it a great stay in the end was the manager, Abdul, who really went out of his way to make it a good experience when he was on shift the next day. He also recommended us some great restaurants in the area that aren’t just tourist traps!

The service was absolutely top notch; I really enjoyed chatting with the manager who was always helpful and willing to do whatever he needed to for the customers. The location is absolutely ideal for a visit to the old city. The area has tons of shops, restaurants, and all of the major sites within a few minutes walk.

We were pleasantly greeted by Abdul, our host, who set us up in a room, though we arrived before their check-in time. He further moved our luggage to another room the following day. He was most helpful is directing us to eateries, arranging for reservations to a Turkish bathhouse, and taxis to various locations. The location was great and rooms were very clean as well as having necessary amenities. Breakfast was very good with a rooftop view of the Marmar sea. We would definitely stay there again.

Lovely rooftop and location
Awesome location for the tourist sites in Sultanahmet (ie Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern, and more) - easy walking distance. Also not far from the tram. The rooftop terrace is stunning and makes breakfast really lovely, or any other time of day if you choose. Abdul at the front desk really makes the experience - super friendly, exceedingly helpful. THANKS Abdul! Cons - my room didn’t have a fridge (it was broken and removed before my arrival), there's no in-room safe as indicated on Hotels.com and airport transfer is also super out of date. The rooms are dated and the standard room in particular was pretty meh. Perhaps others are nicer. Overall good stay.

Gracious Hospitality
Our stay at the Dilhayat Kalfa Hotel was very comfortable. The proprietors were very accommodating and made us feel at home. The breakfast was plentiful and delicious. We only stayed one night both at the beginning and the ending of our tour of western Turkey. We would love to return and spend more time in Istanbul. The hotel is in a prime location, within walking distance to main attractions in Istanbul.

The hotel staff were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The location was great, quiet street, wonderful view from rooftop terrace where breakfast was served daily, 10 minute walk to major attractions, bazaars, restaurants, ATMs, etc. The only downside would be if you have mobility issues and cannot negotiate stairs.
