Dilhayat Kalfa Hotel

Top. Empfehlenswert.

This hotel is simply amazing and the host Mr. Abdurehim is the best! Highly recommend!

The hotel is nice and clean. There roof top view at breakfast is amazing. There is one staff at front desk named Abdul Rahim, he is extremely helpful and professional. He is really an asset for the hotel management. Much recommended place, good value for money!!!

100000% recommend this place if you are staying in the Old City part of Istanbul. The man who runs the place is truly the best of the best; he is extremely knowledge, helpful, and kind and he made us feel very taken care of and safe. He is what makes this hotel an amazing place to say. The women who work there were also extremely welcoming and sweet. The room we stayed in was perfect and was very comfortable and clean. They have a gorgeous rooftop terrace with a view of the sea and that is where you eat your breakfast, which was delicious each day. The location is absolutely perfect, so if I am ever back in Istanbul, this is where I will stay again!

Überhaupt nicht zu empfehlen! Das Personal macht nicht seine Arbeit sondern ist mit Tee holen beschäftigt! Zudem mit dem Auto sehr schlecht zu erreichen!

We enjoyed so much this excellent located hotel. The attention from everyone in the hotel was so good. The owner speaks English and help with everything we need from places to eat to finding drivers to go places. We have a great time and recommend it to everyone who can climb stairs( no elevators)

The hotel has an excellent location and you are a step away from all major attractions in Istanbul. This is unfortunately the only positive thing about this hotel. Here is a short summary of our bad and unpleasant experience with this hotel. We booked in advance for 6 nights, when we arrived on the day of our check-in at the hotel, we were told that the room they reserved for us was not free at that moment and that we would get an "upgraded" reservation for the first 3 nights. There was already a doubt, but we gave them a chance and all the money in advance before we even saw any of the rooms. The gentleman at the reception, I'm not sure but I think he's also the owner, very nicely presented us with the room where we'll be staying for three nights, smart tw, wifi, ac, etc., and let's just say that that part was quite ok. After four nights, not three as we were originally told, in the morning after breakfast the lady who cleans the rooms told us to pack our things because we will be moved to the room that was initially reserved for us. When we asked several times to show us the room and that we would transfer our things, the lady, successfully overcoming the language barrier, said that she would finish it. During the same day, we stopped by the hotel to leave some things, and asked for the room to show us where we are now, the gentleman from the reception just pointed us to the same room with his hand, without a pompous presentation. We didn't pay attention at that moment and immediately left the room after leaving our things. The same night when we returned to the room, we actually saw what was waiting for us. The room does not have the minimum conditions for a normal stay, from humidity, mites, bad smell, holes in the walls, to insects everywhere. Otherwise, the room is at zero level and the window, which is taped and cannot be opened, looks like through a hole into the other wall without any daylight. I went to the reception where there was an elderly man who immediately called the owner. We talked on the phone and then he told me for the first time that it was that room and that they have other rooms but they are more expensive. It is strange to have free rooms in the requested period and they were not offered to us when we sent the reservation request. I asked him to give us another room, but he told me that they didn't have free room at thah moment and that he would solve our problem tomorrow morning. However, tomorrow morning, the gentleman comes offended because for God's sake I told him that he was not being honest, even more so I think that he had no intention of asking us what our problems were. After a short discussion at the reception, we leave the hotel a one day early, with a refund of one night's stay. In general, I cannot recommend this hotel to anyone, and as part of the experience, I am posting a few pictures that can help others when choosing accommodation.

Dilhayat Khalfa Hotel, Istanbul has a very beautiful history in itself... beautiful boutique hotel with quite and cozy set up... Abdul bhai has-been an amazing help inside hotel as well as a good guide for outside hotel.. the location is just so perfect that you can enjoy the streets of Istanbul by walking as well as all tourists attractions are at walking distance. If you want to enjoy authentic food.. all turkish restaurants are just few minutes away.. i went with my two kids 5 and 9 year old and because of its location didn’t face any trouble..... I highly recommend this place...

Am stat 2 nopți într-o cameră foarte mare și frumoasă, dar alte camere sunt micuțe și întunecoase. Mic dejun slăbuț.

Останавливались здесь с моей женой, и мы прибыли очень поздно в субботу вечером, благодаря ночному человеку, который был очень любезен, поднялся на крышу на завтрак на следующее утро и какой прекрасный вид. После разговора с Абдорахманом, Розой и Мадонной нас переселили в номер побольше, так как мы останавливались на неделю. Это было здорово, и весь персонал был очень дружелюбным, для них не было никаких проблем, они всегда проверяли, нужно ли нам что-нибудь, и советовали, где можно поесть. Сад Мадонны на крыше выглядит великолепно, а Роза отлично готовит, делясь с нами некоторыми своими собственными вещами, и это никогда не было проблемой, если мы хотели дополнительный чай или кофе. И спасибо за все дополнительные штрихи на Ид. Всем рекомендую этот отель и спасибо за прекрасно проведенное время, надеюсь увидеть вас снова.

Unique hotel that feels more like a cozy bed & breakfast because of the 3 friendly staff and standard breakfast at the rooftop. The reception manager Abdul Raheem (hope I spelled that right) was especially helpful and kind, and had very interesting stories to share about the history of the hotel. The location is convenient being close to many of Istanbul's landmarks, though guests should be prepared for very steep roads and stairs to get to the hotel. Request the top floor suite if it's available!

Nice hotel and very professionnel and helpful staff. Even without earlier booking i came to the hotel and ask for a room. They gave me a nice room with a very good price. The next day i let my laggage there until i found an other. The reception man is Always smiling and helps whenever he can. We are already checking to come back to that hotel next year
