Comfort in Historical location

The hotel is a charming little place run by family. The service was great, we got a lot of help and everything we asked for. It felt like we were staying with a relative. The building is old, historic, so it was worn down a little but it was everything I was hoping for. Short walk to all historic monuments with lots of food options near by. We got the family suite because we were there for a friend’s wedding and it was very spacious and comfortable to get ready in. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants an authentic experience.

The property is small so it’s very homely! Mr Ali and Mr Jesmine did everything to make our stay comfortable! The staff are very kind friendly helpful and generous ! The breakfast was simple and modest. The rooms were cleaned every day and we were able to get our laundry done daily thanks to Madonna the house keeper! I would definitely recommend this place because of the location being so convenient… Mama’s garden Restaurant was a fantastic place within walking distance for great Turkish food .. just a few minutes walk .. for silks and lamps I went to “St. Sophia’s style home” was a small whole sale boutique near Dilhayat that I would recommend for shopping as the owner was very kind and generous and had a great selection at a great price! Overall we enjoyed our stay at Dilhayat very much and would definitely recommend it to anyone .. price safety and security - great place and walking distance to all attractions ♥️

Cleaning lady gave us attitude

The cleaning lady didn't clean our room due to miscommunications. We didn't know she didn't understand English and she didn't tell us that. But when I complained about it to the front desk personnel the cleaning lady who also happened to be the person in charge for break fast showed us serious attitude. I'm letting it go because may be she is a poor lady and I had no intention of getting her into trouble but the hotel needa to employ more staff to take care of things. Using same person for multitasking shows stingy management mindset that's results into poor customer experience. I would never want that lady with disgruntled attitude near my breakfast place in any hotel stay.

If we ever return to Istanbul, which I hope we do, we will be staying at Dilhayat Kalfa again. I would recommend this hotel very highly. The staff was amazing. It's in the perfect location, the room was clean, comfortable, and unique. There are artwork and sculptures throughout the building. But the real pleasure is the rooftop cafe for breakfast. A delicious Turkish Breakfast and the most amazing view of Istanbul. We loved this hotel!

Amazing stay. Abdul is the best manager. Super friendly and attentive to your needs. Location is great. Right in the middle of the area where all the attractions are. Yet still quiet The decor in the hotel is really good. Especially the lobby. The rooftop terrace has a great view from where you can have a good breakfast. Could not recommend more!

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!
