Pet Friendly Hotels in Istanbul

Pros: The staff were incredibly friendly and spoke excellent English. The room felt very cozy and home-like, with a comfortable bed and pillows. It was a really pleasant stay. There's a wonderful view from the hotel's rooftop overlooking the other side of the Bosphorus, mosques, and the Galata Tower. Cons: The hotel is located in a narrow alley, which unfortunately comes with several drawbacks. For instance, the view from the room was directly onto the windows of the building across the street. Due to the hotel's inconvenient location, a taxi couldn't drop us off at the entrance one night because neighboring alleys were blocked by large minibusses. We had to lug our suitcases to the hotel on foot from a nearby alley. During the day, upon returning to the hotel, we encountered a similar situation: there were always minibusses parked nearby, unloading goods. The result? Taxis still couldn't reach the entrance! We had to walk uphill with our suitcases in the heat to the nearest metro station (a 10-minute walk). Verdict: The hotel itself is excellent, but if you have large suitcases and plan to travel by taxi, the location is extremely inconvenient. However, for those traveling light and planning to use the metro, the hotel is suitable. The nearest metro station is Sishane, and the journey to the airport from this station (with one transfer) took an hour.

The hotel is a three-storey house, coupled with a cafe outside (where the tastiest breakfast is served (thanks!)). My room was very nice, thought through, I really liked the oldish appearance of the house itself and the design of the room, wooden furniture and huge windows. Since the room was on the first floor and the windows were facing the cafe, it was a little noisy in the evenings, and I needed to pull down the curtains as well. The room had all the listed appliances (incl. a small fridge and a kettle) but I lacked a table, however I guess the room size does not allow for it. The main advantage for me was the location: I really love that district, walked around it a lot. There are two very pleasant parks that descend to Bosphorus (going down the slope is pretty easy), and there is Üsküdar dock nearby if you want to get to other parts of the city by ferry. The metro station is ±8-10 min away and there are shops and local restaurants around.

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel and liked its location. Staff are friendly and helpful and we appreciated the daily room cleaning and reset. The best feature of the hotel is that it is well situated to explore Istanbul and is about a 10 minute walk to the Sultanahmet Square where you will find many of the main attractions in Istanbul like Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. There is a tram line station very close to the hotel and it is a short walk to Sirkeci metro station. It was a good base for us as we checked out the areas across the water. It is a little far from both airports with each taking about 1.5 hours to get to but we felt the location was worth the time. The room's decor was a bit aged but charming. The beds were comfy and you can get extra pillows here. The room ran a bit warm during our stay but it was a bit noisy outside with frequent tram trains and restaurants below so we kept the window shut. They do have air conditioning and a radiator but we felt the AC wasn't worth turning on during a cool stay in December. Our neighbours were a bit noisy and it kept my wife up but I had no issues sleeping. It was moderately inconvenient when the restaurant decided to pop their new year's eve decorations at 1 in the morning. The bathroom was good and clean with good shower pressure, soft towels and we appreciated the warming rack for the towels. They provide soap and shampoo in dispensers in the shower. The breakfast was decent enough to start the day. They had enough to do a Turkish style breakfast and most options were pretty light. They had some hot items like sausage, scrambled eggs and other options that changed daily. They also had an area for cold items like cheese, labneh, yoghurt, vegetables and some cold cuts. They had a limited selection of fruit with some oranges and apples. They also had coffee, tea, juice and water. I had an early check out on my last day and they made me a nice bagged lunch to go to the airport with and have me a big can of juice which was very nice. The hotel provides bottled water for guests as well as lots of tea for in room use. The hotel has a restaurant on site and a small outdoor patio that is open for lunch, dinner and late dinner. They have some spa and massage treatments that you can book at the front desk. There are quite a few bath, restaurants, shops and other experiences nearby. People in the area are very friendly, welcoming and will invite you into their shop or restaurant...frequently.

We didn’t actually stay at this hotel, as once we arrived they were booked (we booked very last minute and it seems there was an issue with the booking platform showing availability). However the staff were fantastic and got us a room at a hotel next door, paid the difference (neighbouring hotel was more expensive) and still allowed us to come for breakfast. They were so lovely and professional, apologised for the situation and fixed it promptly. The hotel breakfast was nice and lobby/dining area very nicely decorated.

The view from our room was beautiful. We found the shampoo and soap in the bathroom to be overly scented and did not like them. The room was clean, and the hotel was easy to access. However, the sign indicating the entrance to the hotel from the parking area could be more visible.

The room is relatively clean, but the room is said to be 26 square meters, but it is less than 16 square meters by visual inspection. There is no space to open a 26-inch suitcase. Wouldn't it hurt your conscience if it says 26 square meters on it?

We stayed at this hotel for one night with my family, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. Everything was very clean and well maintained, which immediately made us feel comfortable. After a long flight, Mr. Adil kindly helped us get a comfortable room where we could properly rest. The service was genuinely warm, the dinner was very good, and Mr. Adil went above and beyond by arranging a late check out, offering us coffee on the house, and even organising a private transfer service to the airport. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would happily stay here again.

Hotel was for an overnight stay near Istanbul airport for a transit so for that purpose it suite its need well, vicinity of the hotel has many hotels and some shops / fast food / restaurant places so there are amenities nearby Booked a double bed but was given a two single beds, not a problem as easily resolved. TV in the room didn’t appear to be connected to any Ariel and could get no channels at all. Room had a big jacuzzi bath in it, which loos like it had not been cleaned in a while. Over for the price paid it was adequate , transfer with taxi from airport to hotel can be more expressive than the hotel itself so bear that in mind when booking. Hotels airport transfer was available but again a bit pricey for the distance involved. It’s an airport hotel other is plane noise but that’s to be expected.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had a very comfortable stay at Dedem Hotel. 😊 The room was clean 🧹✨ and everything was well maintained. The location is perfect for anyone who wants to rest for a day or two after a long flight ✈️💤, as it’s very close to Istanbul Airport (IST). The airport bus stop is only about a 2-5 minute walk away 🚍📍, which made traveling very easy. The reception staff were friendly, helpful, and welcoming 🤝💙. I would definitely recommend this hotel for travelers looking for comfort and convenience! 🌟🏨

My room was on the 2nd floor, and I naturally carried my luggage up the stairs myself, without an elevator. The location of the hotel is excellent. Everything was working in the room. But it was very dusty, dirty, and there was a man's hair in the sink. I do not know if they cleaned up after the last guest, if they changed the bed. Every 2-3 minutes, a fire alarm goes off, which keeps you awake. I didn't catch Wi-Fi in the room. But I was at the reception. You can spend the night, but not very pleasant conditions.
