RW BOUTIQUE HOTEL

We had an excellent stay at this hotel! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Upon our arrival, the receptionist immediately came to assist us with our luggage, which was greatly appreciated. The breakfast was delicious, with a variety of options, and the staff were quick to refill anything we needed. We enjoyed having breakfast on the terrace, which offered a stunning view of the sea and the Blue Mosque. The terrace was also a lovely spot in the afternoons, where the staff would kindly serve us Turkish tea and nuts. When they learned that my husband was unwell, they thoughtfully brought him free soup in the evening, which was a kind and much-appreciated gesture. The rooms were cleaned daily, and complimentary bottled water was always available. We stayed in a 4-bed room with a double bed and a bunk bed, both of which were quite comfortable. While the room didn’t have windows, it had excellent ventilation, and the air felt fresh throughout our stay. After we checked out, they kindly kept our luggage for us, and when we returned at 6 PM to pick it up, they invited us to wait on the terrace until our taxi arrived.

Excellent Location in centre of town, behind the Blue Mosque. Close to tram line and 15 min walk to the Grand Bazaar. Great restaurants around and we highly recommend “Mom’s Garden” around the corner - food was great and service even better. Triple Room with Sea View was a nice size and facilities were good. Beds were quite soft and sheet situation was a little strange with only a sheet and no quilt or blanket. We were able to get more bedding from reception who were very helpful. The included breakfast was AMAZING. No words so have included a photo. The hotel staff from reception to housekeeping to the breakfast room were wonderful. So helpful and always with a smile. Just a tip - we flew into the new airport (IST) and made the mistake of using the very cheap public transport. It took us 3 hours to get to the hotel! Spend the money on the airport transfer organised by the hotel - it is worth for the time save (less than one hour) and not sure if every time but the transfer we got back to the airport was deluxe with massage seats! Worth the extra $$. Highly recommend this hotel.

Everything was beyond expectations. Hotel is located in a very touristic area, behind the Blue Mosque, very close to Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, Basilica Cistern and tram station (5 minutes walking for all of them). The rooms are very clean and well organized, the personnel was very friendly and attentive and the breakfast was the best that I ever had in a boutique hotel. The receptionists also helped us with the transfer from the airport to the hotel and from the hotel to the cruise port and we booked with them a Bosphorus dining cruise which was amazing. I definitely recommend this hotel for everything mentioned already and for the quality-price report. In case we'll travel to Istanbul in the future, we'll come back to RW for sure.

Everything about our experience was great! Starting by the its location. The hotel is located in the heart of Old Town and it was easy distance walk from the main attractions with tons of nice restaurants around. The room was very decent and comfortable. The breakfast was perfect! It is served on your table with variety of items and everything looks so fresh (we loved the butter with honey). The staff is amazing! The guy from night shift was very helpful and the team from breakfast were very friendly. Our experience was so good that on our way back to Istanbul (to take our flight back home) I decided to stay again on this hotel (even being on night and far away from airport). Our overall experience was great and I would highly recommend it. Note: My room was the 103 and had window facing street. We loved it! But I read some people's comments about rooms without window. So if that is a problem for you, please just pay attention while booking yours and be sure to pick what suits better.

Great and friendly customer service. Rooms were very nice. Breakfast on the rooftop was a fun experience and the food just kept coming. Lots of different things to try. So glad they had an elevator for my mom who doesn’t do stairs well.
