Hotel Black Tulip

The hotel has an excellent location. The staff made our stay an exceptional one and were always helpful, Muhammed and all the guys, especially front office manager Cihan. The room was neat, tidy and comfortable. The breakfast was varied and had a lovely spread of food each day. Very filling and nutritious. The wifi was excellent and worked well at all areas of the hotel. They even gifted us a farewell gift and just couldn't find any faults with anything. We really loved our stay and would definitely stay here again in future.

This hotel is in an excellent location, close to the Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace and Hagia Sophia, which are less than 10 minutes walk. The staff are friendly, professional and extremely helpful. The reception team were brilliant, particularly Ilham, Mohammed and the gentleman who helped us with our suitcases. There is a lift to all floors and breakfast consists of a wide range of fresh, delicious hot and cold foods. I would recommend asking the hotel to book transfers to and from the airport as they use the local taxi company who know the area well. The reception staff are also able book local tours and suggest activities. We had a very good experience here. We were a family of 5 and stayed in 2 adjoining suites.

My experience truly agreed with all the former positive reviews that I read about Black Tulip. 1. Location: the hotel is in the vicinity to major attractions of the old town Sultanahmet (short, pleasant walking distance to Hagia Sophia, its museum, Basilica Cistern, the blue mosque, the palace and its garden, etc etc), it is also right on the metro route and a few seconds walk to the nearest stop if interested in visiting further destinations. It was about 15-20 mins walk to the grand bazzar or the Egyptian spice market, from there it was an easy, short ferry ride/walking across the bridge to visit the Asia side. Within the neighborhood, there are many good eats as well, most are quite touristy, but some hidden gem for sure if you look closely enough. 2. Staff: the staff welcomed us warmly upon arrival, they were always available to provide immediate services, I cannot say enough good things about our interactions with the team. I didn't just feel like a faceless traveler there. 3. Hotel: the room was very clean and had everything I needed. I was worried that the hotel would be noisy given that it was near the metro line, but it wasnt a problem. The breakfast always had a wide, satisfying selection and we were able to get enough fresh veggies and fruits for the day first thing in the morning everyday, which I highly appreciated given that it's not always easy to do so when on the road.

Central location close to all major landmarks. Lots of F&B choices nearby. Tramline is extremely close making transportation within the city easy and efficient. The room we stayed in was clean and well-maintained. Nice breakfast buffet. Staff at the hotel are very friendly and helpful especially Efe, Mohamed, ilham and Furhan at Front Desk. They were responsive and attentive to our requests. We arrived early at the hotel before check-in time and were kindly offered free in-house breakfast by the manager. On the last day, we had to leave really early and to our surprise, Front Desk prepared a breakfast pack for us. We fully enjoyed the property’s hospitality and the professional service of the staff members.

Hotel was a great value. It is located near the attractions, ferry pier, Marmaray train station. Hotel itself is clean and comfortable. But the best was the personnel. They are so nice, helpful that we felt all the time welcome being there. They helped us in many small things, also provided gluten free options. Special respect to their quality of work
