Bram Hotel Istanbul

Great location and nice hosts, you would know why this hotel is so highly rated until you stay once

Excellent Hotel and location is near main attraction as Istambul is build in Hills so if you have knee problem you can struggle arround 7mn. The hotel is down and you have to go up but regardless that the hotel is nickel no any fault and the owner Ali was excellent host any time you want to drnk coffe or turkish tea they can make it for you. We enjoyed our stay and Istanbul is a lovely place.

Best choice! It’s only a few minutes walk to the blue mosque and Hagia Sophia. There’s an ocean view terrace. Ali is super helpful in helping the guests understanding the city and everything else. Food is great. Room is very clean. You cannot find a better place if you are traveling for sightseeing in Istanbul.

First things first, the owners are the friendliest and most helpful hosts I have ever encountered. They work hard and did not hesitate to make our stay as lovely as possible. They helped set up a cruise, they helped call us a taxi, gave us directions, and helped us with the public transportation as well. The hotel is a beautiful little boutique hotel. Everything was sparkling clean, inside the room and outside as well. There is a nice rooftop terrace with a view of the ocean. There is a delicious breakfast included that should not be missed. We didn't spend much time in the room, but it was everything you could ask for, especially comfortable beds. We will definitely stay there again next time we visit Istanbul, and we will happily and enthusiastically recommend it to our friends (and anyone else that will listen).

We stayed at Bram Hotel for four nights in October. If you're looking for a place that is close to the main sights (Blue mosque is minutes away), gives you relatively larger rooms per $$ (as compared to square footage in other hotels in that area), includes an excellent breakfast, is super neat and tidy, comes with a cute terrace, and has amazing hosts then this is the place for you. It is minimal, functional and there are hints of Dutch sensibility throughout the property. Nothing was too much for Ali and Tarkan, they will sit and patiently plan your day with you, offer you an Istanbulkart to use, recommend restaurants nearby. I don't know if they ever sleep - we arrived at the hotel past 1 AM and Ali welcome us like family. Also, Ali is the mirror image of Saul Berenson (Homeland). If we had to suggest anything, it would be to provide an in-room tea/ coffee set up, and to include moisturizer in the toiletries provided. Neither however was a deal breaker. There was Turkish tea always available in the lobby and coffee too.
