Yellow Bull Istanbul hotel

Fatih, Istanbul

Offering garden views, Yellow Bull Istanbul hotel is an accommodation located in Istanbul, 1.6 km from Blue Mosque and 1.7 km from Basilica Cistern.

We stayed at Yellow Bull Istanbul Hotel and had a great experience. The staff were very kind and helped us arrange transfers to and from the airport for €40 each way. They were helpful throughout our stay, which made things much easier. The room was clean, the AC worked very well, the bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was fine—though a bit small. Other than that, everything met or exceeded expectations. The location is also excellent: you’re close to the main mosques, and the surrounding restaurants come to life in the evenings, which adds to the experience. For the price, this hotel is definitely worth it. I would highly recommend it if you are visiting Istanbul.

The location is superb, offering a stunning view over the lagoon and the city of Istanbul from the terrace. We were warmly welcomed by a very kind host, who made both the reserved room and a fully equipped kitchenette available to us, adding greatly to the comfort of our stay. The entire place is tastefully decorated and located in a highly touristic and charming area. In just 8 nights,me and my mom had the chance to feel like locals, which made the experience even more special. There is also an elegant “antique-style” café on the ground floor that truly adds to the unique character of the property, a delightful bonus! We wholeheartedly recommend this accommodation, you will not regret a single moment spent here.

Very friendly and helpful owner and staff. We had difficjliestfinding the place and was like walking and asking a couple of times when suddenly the owner appeared in front of us. Apparently someone message him that we are looking for Emirhan. When we arrived he made coffee while finishing the registration paperwork. The owner also helped carrying one of our 10kg luggage while escorting us to the Guesthouse. He even helped carrying it when we checked out to our next stay which is 10 minutes walk. The room is on the 5th floor by stairs only,but it was worth it. The room ia very spacious, with coffee making facility, refrigerator and a microwave. Bathroom with hot water shower. Water pressure is very good. Bed was comfortable. Aircon was cold. Many windows, with one side overlooking the ocean at a distance. The balcony is also spacious and overlooking the ocean as well. Door lock looked strong and secure. There's an electronic remote to open the main door to the house so we have a 24h access. The location is a 10minutes walk from Sultanahmet, a bit downhill. A small supermarket is within 5 minutes distance. A few choice of restaurants are available in the vicinity, with lower prices compared to those in Sultanahmet.
