Lamp Hotel

The location of the hotel was definitely the best part! It's a short walk away from all the major sites, and the Arasta Bazaar is around the corner. Ika, the hotel's host, is extremely friendly and helpful. The breakfast included with the room was limited in options but a great way to start the day, and the hotel was very helpful in arranging a car service to and from the airport.

It wasn't really an issue for us, but for those who aren't good with stairs, there is no elevator available and the stairway is narrow. Ika helped us move our luggage up and down the stairs, so we didn't have an issue with it.

Very helpfully boss Mehmet and his staff (Iko & Mr. A). Shared us all information about everything in Istanbul. Air cooling in room. We had nice room with balcony with nice view.

I stayed at the Lamp Hotel during a quick 3 night trip to Istanbul. The location is excellent, less than a 5 minute walk to the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque, and within easy walking distance of the Grand Bazaar and the Spice Market. The airport buses from the new airport stop/depart from the plaza in between Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque, so if you are using the bus, the stop is very close (the property will also arrange airport pickups). The staff is super friendly and helpful, and speak excellent English if you need (and other languages I’m sure). The breakfast is also excellent. Certainly I’d return.
