The looming architecture of the famous Aya Sophia, the eloquent Blue Mosque, the underground cistern with its subterranean chamber of hundreds of ancient pillars rising from water…….all this within minutes walk of our guesthouse. And here is the gateway to the rest of the city, efficient local transport, wonderful restaurants, and the famous Grand Bazarre. Yes, the magic of Istanbul is before you. At the end of a busy day in this great city, at the Tulip guesthouse, tucked away from the bustle of the city on a quiet street, you will find a relaxing and enjoyable place to come home to.

Our experience)))

Our four weeks spent at the tulip has been the closest experience yet as travelers, to feeling at home. Calm atmosphere and truly hospitable hosts have made our Istanbul experience so very comfortable; leaving us at ease in this lively metropolis. Waking up to a traditional Turkish breakfast, and so much çay… Mmmmm! Staff have enriched our stay in Istanbul not only through their generosity, but as well their knowledge of historical sites, local markets, shopping districts and help riding public transportation. Spent here a few many evenings on the terrace with fellow travelers, sharing stories, while Asia’s city lights blink from across the sea, and the blue mosque, just meters to the west, gives the guest home such a magical feel. “Clean and cozy” and a generally relaxed environment all-round, it is the genuinely warm welcoming staff at the tulip that has made our stay in Istanbul so incredibly pleasant. Thank you!
