The installations were very nice, made even more by the people working there. Their customer service was great and made our stay flow with ease. The location was quiet, without the bustle and noise of the restaurant and souvenir shop street, which was conveniently around the corner. The room view was spectacular, we had a balcony suite… The Little Prince room made a wonderful “head start” for to our trip to Cappadocia! Highly recommend this hotel: location, food, installations, theme, and its employees were beyond par.

Hotel Poem is an incredible hotel. The breakfast is top notch. Everything is made to order, but it really fits the cozy, homey vibe of the hotel. All the staff are friendly and accommodating. The receptionist, Erçan, has a junilant personality and made us feel very comfortable. The trip was made easy because of the accommodations the hotel provided, like airport transfer. They also book you tours in the bosphorous, city, museums, which are helpful. We had a wonderful stay and would not hesitate to stay again. The area surrounding the hotel is not as hospitable due to the fact that Sultanahmet is a touristy place, but it is very safe and quiet.

even though you have to walk on stony road to the hotel door (about 30 meters), it was a blessing as the loud noice from the main street does not reach to this hotel and we had very quiet sleep nights. Hotel management is very friendly, since I don't drink alcohol and did not want the bottle of wine that is offered, I was offered fresh fruit plate instead.

Nice little hotel. Staff very attentive and friendly. Really nice breakfast (looked all home made). The area is okay, lots of touristic restaurants around but that’s Sultanahamet.

I stayed at Hotel Poem on a one day layover in Istanbul and it was the best choice! From the moment I entered, the reception staff were so pleasant, welcoming and kind. Within 5 minutes, I was given the most charming room! The staff were very helpful in giving directions to the nearby tourist sites. I was pleased that throughout my stay, they did not try to upsell any add on services. The washroom had the rainfall shower which was so refreshing! I got ready to go to Sultanahment Mosque and the Aya Sophia. These two historic sites were a short 7 to 8 minute walk away from Hotel Poem. The area around the hotel is filled with restaurants, hotels, and a mini bazaar. As a solo traveller, I felt safe and had no trouble navigating as almost everyone spoke English. The hotel at night was very peaceful and quiet. Great to get a good night's sleep. In the morning, the most pleasant surprise was the complimentary breakfast, which was a feast! The cafeteria staff were all very kind and attentive. I would highly recommend you to choose Hotel Poem for your next stay in Istanbul's Fatih district.

The Hotel Poem is an excellent choice if you want to stay in the Sultanamet area -- nearby all the major sites of the Old City and on a quiet side street. The staff is fabulous, helpful and friendly. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. And the breakfast, served downstairs in an airy room with a small balcony, is simply terrific. The area is of course heavily populated by tourists and cafes.
