My friend, who had come from the US to attend a training that was organized in Istanbul was subjected to verbal and physical violence by the front desk staff because she asked for a receipt. I don't know what's wrong with these people, or the people who recruit them to ''provide services'' but the only service I witnessed was violence. I wouldn't recommend anyone coming here who has a child or care about their own emotional and psychological well-being for that matter, as we are still in shock after what had happened.

I don’t know where all these positive reviews coming from. This is not a “Hotel”, it barely passes as a Hostel or what some call a Motel. The rooms are nestled in an extremely outdated building that looks like it could give out any second and crumble. Only thing it got going for it is the location, in the heart of Sultanahmet district, only a few minutes walk to most historical attractions. Travelers beware, the whole district is a tourist trap, you will definitely be paying 5-10x the amount for anything you buy here, whether it’s food or gifts.

What a difference the hotel personnel makes; everybody at the Tulip House is soo nice, they are all over you bringing comfort and attention constantly. The rooms are clean, the place is cozy and warm, and even the guests are of the same kind; everybody very nice.
From the manager to the rest of the employees, to the housekeeping services, all make a great and warm team that makes your stay a great experience, kind of home feeling, away from home.
Loved the Tulip House and will come back!
