The owners of this boutique hotel are incredibly kind and welcoming. One of the biggest take-aways from our trip to Istanbul was how helpful, kind and accommodating the people were, nobody more so than the hoteliers at Dilhayat

We had a lovely stay here! It was close to some of the key local attractions which made it easy to come back for a nap between sight seeing (needed given our jet lagged state). Breakfast on the rooftop was a highlight!

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.

Very close to major attractions in Sultanahmet neighborhood and at the same time tucked away from all the noise
It has parking available but a bit tricky to drive to get to the hotel
Hotel from inside is nice, room cleanliness was ok
Breakfast is nothing to fancy about

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Dilhayat Kalfa Hotel! Our room on the first floor was beautiful, spacious, and equipped with all the amenities we needed. The breakfast menu changed daily, and the staff was exceptionally friendly and accommodating. The hotel is within walking distance of many attractions, and public transportation options like the metro and bus are easily accessible.
We highly recommend staying here to experience its antique charm and cozy atmosphere!

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.

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 in an Amazing City
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!
