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.

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 ♥️

horrible receptionist

Non professional staff. Rude receptionist and noisy lobby. Receptionist receives his friends in hotel lobby with noise and no respect for families privacy. Surrounding hotels much better. The area is not safe during the night. Clean rooms but no elevator. Pretty expensive rate. Wash rooms are reasonable. Food are average. Access is difficult. old area in general. Beautiful antiques inside the lobby.

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.

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!

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!
