Great Boutique hotel.
The owners of this boutique hotel work very hard to ensure you stay is as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. The food was very good and the service was top notch. The views on the top floor patio were amazing. I will definitely stay here again on my next trip back.

Believe the good reviews, Bram is great!
I thought the ratings for this hotel were suspiciously high & too good to be true. They were not. Bram Hotel was great, and I’d love to stay there again sometime. The hosts were so friendly and helpful (and one or the other of them were always available on the ground floor!), breakfast was delicious and beautifully presented, and somehow they managed to clean our room in the short time in which we went downstairs for breakfast each day. The soundproof windows did a great job, and the neighborhood was great - lots of restaurants nearby, but quieter than the busiest tourist areas.

Good choice for Istanbul
Hotel was modest but comfortable. Owners very friendly and helpful. Breakfast very substantial. Location was fairly central with a short walk to the main square. Lots of restaurants nearby.

Outstanding hosts Ali and Tarkin make this small hotel a home away from home. From the initial warm greeting and welcome drink, to assistance with daily outings and the generous gourmet individual breakfast platters, there is nothing to fault. A great location for exploring Sultanahmet square and the mosques with wide selection of restaurants and local cafes. The rooftop terrace is perfect for evening relaxation and listening to the calls to prayer. Soundproof rooms, comfortable beds and 24hr on call assistance makes this a great place to stay.

The hotel owners and managers Ali and Tarkan are always present and nothing was too much to ask. They facilitated airport transport and sight seeing with pick up and drop off at the hotel. They answered every question and made the holiday perfect. Old fashioned customer care - I loved this hotel.

Briefly: Being at Bram Hotel was like being at home not in a hotel. The owners - the two brothers - give the place a very personal touch, make you feel truly welcome, provide any advice you need and help to make arrangements with future travel. We needed to leave super early, at 4 am, and one of the brothers got up to make us a cup of coffee and make sure all was OK.
THANK YOU!

Loved this property! Hosts were extremely hospitable and welcoming. They also really helped with recommendations for optimizing your itinerary. The location of the property very close (and walkable to) the major tourist attractions (Haiga Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Basilica Cistern, Grand Bazaar, Spice Bazaar, etc). Would absolutely recommend this place!

When I first booked this property I was not too sure because our previous experience with other hotels. As soon we got there I was definitely sure that next time I visit Istanbul my go to spot will be Bram Hotel. The management is wonderful. The room and the bathroom were fully furnished as well as very spacious and clean. Our stay included breakfast which was our favourite. Loved the breakfast even if your stay doesn’t include breakfast make sure to dine in there for the breakfast🔥. Loved the hospitality and kindness. There’s a beautiful rooftop where you can catch a beautiful sunset or sunrise. The checkin and checkout process was easy and smooth. We were gonna spend only 1 night then ended up extending it for another. We checked out at an odd time so Ali one of the owner made sure we were safe and held on to our bags for us until we figured out our flight situation which was super helpful and kind. We appreciate their kindness and hospitality. We felt like it at home honestly. Definitely recommend it.

Perfect base for Istanbul visit.
Bram Hotel is a perfect place to stay while exploring Istanbul. Close to the action but far from the maddening crowd. From the check in through to the check out, the owners made sure that everything we needed , and more was available. The breakfast is delicious and a perfect start to a day of walking and exploring. The room was spotless, AC worked a charm - a perfect place to rest in peace and quiet after frenetic days around Istanbul. I’ll definitely stay again.

Great Hotel with lovely owners
Fabulous hotel run by two brothers who want to make your stay in Istanbul the best it can be.
Wonderful welcome by Ali who provided us with a drink and talked us through the area and things to do. Gave us tour of the hotel and was always on hand for any questions.
The room was lovely and spacious, bathroom was modern with a fabulous shower. However, there was only a mirror in the bathroom, not ideal for two women sharing when the hairdryer is also in the bathroom.
The hotel has a rooftop area for sitting with drinks, drinks have to be purchased at the bar and taken up though and there are no lights up there at the moment.
Drinks in the hotel are expensive.
I would definitely recommend this hotel and would not hesitate to stay here again when visiting Istanbul.
Airport transfers were also arranged which were easy and co-ordinated by the hotel.
