Absolutely loved this hotel! We had the Hemingway room which is on the top floor with a very large private balcony overlooking the water. The room was spacious. The full Turkish breakfast was phenomenal. The staff were delightful. The location was excellent. We walked to dinner every night and easily reached the sites either by walking or taking public transportation. The hotel arranged comfortable transportation to and from the airport.

We had a fabulous time at hotel poem. All around a great place to stay and experience Istanbul. The very friendly staff, the breakfast (beyond our expectations!), the tasteful decor, care and efforts made above and beyond made us feel very comfortable.

We had an excellent stay at Hotel Poem in Istanbul and would highly recommend it. The staff were incredibly warm, welcoming, and always willing to help with anything we needed. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and surprisingly quiet, making it a perfect place to relax after busy days exploring the city. The breakfast was absolutely outstanding! We were treated to a full traditional Turkish breakfast with an incredible variety of fresh and delicious food—there was so much to enjoy. The location couldn’t have been better. It’s right in the heart of Istanbul’s historic district, within easy walking distance of the city’s major attractions, yet tucked away on a peaceful street. These Canadians would happily stay at Hotel Poem again. Thank you for making our visit to Istanbul so memorable!
