The room was spotless and spacious , the Hotel itself was very well presented .
the room had not been used recently and took some time to warm up but fine afterwards .
the TV was a small issue as 99% of the channels are not English (normal for Turkey) some larger hotels allow login to YT now .
We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Bram in Istanbul. The hotel is owned by two brothers who personally welcomed us and made us feel at home from the very beginning. They helped us arrange our airport taxi and were incredibly attentive throughout our stay.
They provided great advice on what to visit in Istanbul and were always available to help with any questions or requests. The personalized attention really made a difference and made our experience feel special.
The breakfast was excellent, with great quality. Overall, the hospitality, warmth, and care we received were outstanding. I highly recommend Hotel Bram to anyone visiting Istanbul and would definitely stay here again.

Et virkelig godt sted. Pænt, rent og nydeligt. Ejerne af hotellet er outstanding, helt famtastiske
If you’re ever in Istanbul you HAVE to stay at this amazing boutique hotel!! In addition to the location, design, amenities, cost, food and comfort…. The owners are hands on and create an incredibly high level of customer service and personal experience during the stay. Theres no question they are passionate about, and take great pride in their hotel.
Hands down- without a doubt- the best hotel experience ever!! Thank you so much Ali and Tarkan - I will be back!
You will never find better hosts! Two brothers from Amsterdam fixed up the building and are super attentive. The water is hot, the beds are comfortable, the food is good and one of the brothers is always around to help, even to get us to the airport at 3am. Amazing hospitality, we are so glad we stayed and will be back!!
This is the most welcoming hotel ever! Two brothers from Amsterdam renovated and are always there. One of them even got up at 3am to see us off. Has elevator, comfortable beds, hot water, free Turkish breakfast that can be adapted as needed. But what is most beautiful is the help that these on-site owners give you to enjoy the city. Recommendations for any activities you are interested in, advice on where to go and what order, even a taxi to the airport for only 50 Euros. Wonderful experience
The hotel is ideally located close to many attractions. The brothers that own the hotel are very attentive, friendly and cannot do enough for you. The breakfast is delicious and a great start to the day. We will definitely stay here when we return to Istanbul.
The hotel is run by two very friendly Dutch-Turkish brothers, Ali and Tarkan. They go well above the call of duty and take an active interest in their guests and never seem to take time off. They completely renovated the hotel in 2019 so everything is relatively new and works. The breakfast is individual and excellent. I hope Ali and Tarkan can hire a manager soon and allow themselves some well deserved rest.
Very convenient hotel in heart of Istanbul. The place is clean and run very well by professional and friendly staff who goes above and beyond to make your stay memorable. The breakfast is excellent.
Un accueil chaleureux, le personnel au petit soin pour nous mettre à l’aise et nous expliquer un peu le quartier.
Très bon emplacement, idéal pour visiter les sites touristiques
Chambre propre avec l’essentiel.
Ali and Tarkyn were so welcoming and helpful. Breakfast was amazing and a nice rooftop area to enjoy a glass of wine. They have renovated the hotel and have made it very comfortable. Everything was very clean. I would recommend this hotel.
the owners are very sweet and personable. They made sure we knew the area around us and were always willing to help with anything when needed. Breakfast was spectacular. Location is also great - just a few minutes walk from the sultanahmet square with the Hagia Sophia. I would for sure stay here again if I’m back in Istanbul. Also rooms felt very clean which we loved.
My wife and I recently traveled to the this spectacularly crossroads city of Istanbul. As seasoned global travelers, the lodging experience at the boutique Bram Hotel was delightful and stimulating situated near the heartbeat of the city highlighting the Hagia Sophia, Sultanahmet (Blue) Mosque, and Topkapi Palace. The host caretakers, Tarkan and Ali, provide a unique and enhanced travel experience which is sure to please your mind and soul. We highly recommend this moderately priced hotel for its unique value and charm. The hotel’s interior was recently modernized with world-class amenities while its building exterior retains its UNESCO protected designation. The hosts genuinely care about your stay, love their home country, and exceed your travel expectations as you immerse yourself in the history, culture, shopping creating lifelong memories. Safe travels and wishing you much travel success.
One of my all time favorite hotels - everything you need - nothing you don’t- it has location, it’s modern, everything works, how many hotels have you stayed where you leave feeling you’ve made new friends with the owners- nothing was too much trouble- even getting up at 3am to bid me goodbye for my early morning flight - yes you guessed it I love this place. Bravo!!
Bram Hotel Istanbul was seriously the BEST in all of our boutique hotel stays in our many European travel experiences. Frankly, the extremely reasonable room rate made the stay at Bram Hotel even more satisfying.
We arrived and were welcomed by owner, Tarkan, a multi-lingual gentleman originally from the Netherlands, who immediately made us feel like true guests in the upscale yet humble entry lobby that is attached to the charming Cafe’ Bram.
Ali, co-owner, and brother of Tarkan, gave a tour of the Bram’s fabulous and comfortable rooftop terrace and brought our bags up to our spacious, nicely appointed, immaculate 3rd floor room. Both owners were on-site our entire stay and offered every bit of advice, suggestions, assistance, reservations and all around excellent service we could ask for. Some we didn’t even know we needed 😁. This made our stay a true “10” experience.
Bram is close and only steps away from all the major must-see Istanbul sites. Lots of stoney hills but very close in terms of walking. Do be aware of the difficult uneven stoney roads all over Istanbul, btw, if you have walking issues. Bram hosts assisted us getting taxi cabs we needed to get places, even tho they were close enough to the hotel to walk. We’re very grateful for that.
The delicious turkish breakfast was one of the many highlights of our stay at Bram Hotel.
Excellent hotel, service and location for an extremely reasonable price - we highly recommend Bram ❤️💎
Ali and Tarkan were incredible hosts and their hotel was perfectly situated for our visit to Istanbul. Walking distance to all of the main attractions and the breakfast was lovely. Ali went out of his way to provide an earlier breakfast on our last day which was just a small example of his and Tarkan’s commitment to a wonderful experience. Highly recommend.
I loved staying at Bram Hotel because of the friendly and caring way the brothers treated you. They are genuinely great people. They go out of their way explain everything to you. They offer suggestions and arrange transportation and Turkish bath for you. The room was very clean and comfortable. Bathroom and shower was spacious and great water pressure. Breakfast was delicious. Turkish Airlines canceled my ticket to Nevsehir and i had no hotel booked, they stepped in and help. I greater appreciate your kindness and understanding. I fully recommend Bram Hotel as the only place to stay in Istanbul. Thank you
I’ve never loved a hotel so much! Words can’t do this hotel justice. I brought my parents with me and we all felt at home. Super comfy bed, room, terrace, and cafe. Quiet, perfect location, and amazing view. The service provided by the two brothers/owners Ali & Tarkan is unparalleled.
I texted Ali before and throughout our trip with questions, concerns, and requests. He didn’t just respond immediately, but it was fun, like talking to a friend. They never sleep or leave the hotel. Like magic, they are always available.
We loved the brothers & the hotel. We genuinely invited them over to our home by the end of the trip. They are the nicest, friendliest, and most welcoming people we’ve ever met. Thank you both for making our trip so memorable. I’m very sad to leave Bram and pray to return one day.
Die beiden Gastgeber waren sehr herzlich und gleichzeitig sehr hilfreich in allen Dingen. Das Frühstück sensationell. Der bewachte Parkplatz war gleich um die Ecke und alle Sehenswürdigkeiten von Alt. Istanbul waren zu Fuß gut erreichbar. Die Zimmer waren sehr sauber. Besonders gefallen hat uns die Dachterrasse mit der tollen Aussicht auf die Altstadt. Ich würde jederzeit wiederkommen. Vielen Dank noch mal für den tollen Aufenthalt.
The owners really made our holiday enjoyable. Great welcome and brilliant tips on where to go over a marvellous breakfast. Super clean rooms and the roof terrace is wonderful. Great for a holiday with my son on his birthday!
Excellent location. Great rooftop.Amazing turkish breakfast. The owners were more than welcoming and cared to make our stay in istanbul the best possible by guiding our days tailored to our needs. The energy and vibe at the hotel was perfect.
