The breakfast at this hotel is definitely not to the standard of others. The orange "juice" is not actual juice, but squash, as is the cranberry "juice." The fruit did not look fresh and the omelette was the same each morning. The bread was good, however. The owner of the hotel smokes outside but the smoke follows him around. Our... more

Great hotel in a fantastic location in Sultanahmet! It was our first time to Istanbul and the staff were very helpful in directing us to the main sites. We greatly appreciated the lack of pressure to go on the organised tours that the hotel runs! The room was a decent size although when we booked on last minute it said... more

We found the team always very polite and helpful.The breakfast was always a nice moment for sitting down and talk for a while...The hotel is in short walking distance from... more

Asmali Konak was a fine place to stay for our three day trip to Istanbul, and we would return. Keep in mind it is a bed & breakfast style hotel within a true older Turkish residential neighborhood, which you can plainly see from the windows, clothes drying on lines etc., people sweeping or sitting on steps. It is not "posh"... more

Very nice hôtel that i recommend. The location is great, really close walking distance to the main attractions of Sultanhamet in a traditionnal district. The hotel itself is good; a traditionnal boutique hotel with a lot of charme, rooms are clean with comfortable beds, decoration is quite typical 19th. The best of it remains the terrace on the top floor... more

My girlfriend and I stayed for four nights in the Asmali Konak and had a very good time. The owners and staff are very nice and went out of their way to help us in any way possible. They also gave us good advice on how to handle cab drivers, bargaining and nice local restaurants, among which a fish restaurant... more

With tears in our eyes, my husband & I bid a sad farewell to Asmali Konak staff. After 6 nights & attempts to rebook for the following month, we settled for a brief 'hello' on our return. They were all booked out on the dates we were to return. To the hotel itself:- We were upgraded to a suite because... more
