May 20, 2009 - we found this guesthouse to be very helpfull&friendly it is also situated within 5 to 10 minuets walking distance of many of the main tourist sights.The only conplaint we have is that we given a double room when we asked for a twin.All in all we would have no hesitation in recommending the Tulip Guesthouse to anyone.
May 04, 2009 - The hotel does not update their room availability on most booking sites, so booking on this site does not make much sense. You pay the commission, but stll do not have a reservation.
Rooms on ground floor are very noisy and I would not want to stay there a second time.
Apr 15, 2009 - Excelent acomodation for budget turists. Not much luxary, but realy good geographic position - close (not more than 5 min walk) to the main touristic sites of Istanbul, nice view of Bosforus through dining-breakfast room windows. But the best is friendly atmosphere: you can spent evenings in the dining room with hotel keeper and guests dincussing on various themes: from getting information, what o do tomorrow, to analysing modern movies...
Apr 14, 2009 - Tulip Guesthouse is very well located whithin 5 minutes of the blue and Santa Sophia Mosques. Rooms are small but clean and the top floor room where breakfast is served has a nice view of the Bosphorus. Personel is very friendly and helpfull.
Apr 02, 2009 - Indeed the best breakfast in Istanbul!
Very well located and cosy place!
A great opportunity to meet several nationalities sharing different views of the world and of Istanbul.
If I would return to Istanbul, I would stay at Tulip guesthouse.
Aug 31, 2008 - The owner was very kind and helpful!

Mar 16, 2008 - Hola, soy Patricio de Chile. Tulip es un Hostel sencillo pero muy confortable, las habitaciones son cómodas, y los baños siempre limpios, yo destacaría el desayuno fantástico, la hospitalidad de Metin y Embrah, sus dueños, personas muy cálidas y cariñosas, siempre dispuestos a ayudar señalando lugares de interés turístico e imágenes del pasado histórico, y también destacaría su ubicación: Sultán Ahmet a 150 metros de las fabulosas mezquitas y en conexión con el resto de la ciudad por el tranvía, a la misma distancia. Pasé unos días increíbles en Estambul y sin duda gracias a la ayuda de estos dos jóvenes y su Hostel.
Feb 22, 2008 - one of the best hostels I have ever stayed, very large breakfast, wonderfull view from dining room, few steps from main attractions, blue mosque, hagia sophia and topkapi palace,
Metin and Emrah who run the guest house, is hospitable, warm, and knowledgeable about Istanbul and Turkey. rooms are very clean and nice sized...
Highly recommended!
