Hotel Poem is a gem that my family have been visiting continously for the last 2 years.
You should stay there for two reasons: location and people.
Location is in the very heart of the historic center, yet it is quiet and relaxing.
People are amazing: from front desk, to breakfast to cleaning crew.
Special thanks to Eren for taking amazing care of me and my family.

Amidst the bustle and chaos of a metropolitan area of 12-15 million, Hotel Poem is a little quiet oasis that is still in the heart of it all. The property is exquisite and maintained with care and love. In travels of 40 years, I'm pretty sure that the breakfast at Hotel Poem is about the most elaborate and tasty I have yet had. A special mention to the front desk staff - Eren was attentive and helpful with recommendations. He and all other members of the staff at Hotel Poem will give you something very specific to remember about your stay in Istanbul! Beyond five stars!!!

Unique style. Close to everything. Awesome breakfa
Awesome location close to the mosques, and the grand bazaar. Super friendly staff, the highlight being the massive Turkish breakfast.
Only small downside was that our room was too small for two ppl, with no place for two large suitcases.

Great boutique hotel in the heart of historic dist
We had a wonderful 3 night stay at Hotel poem. Staff is very friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and clean. Bed was not so comfortable but the overall feel of this boutique hotel made up for it. The hotel is nicely located on a quiet street but only one block from many restaurants and very close to major attractions. Highly recommend hotel poem
