We just spent four nights at the Hotel Ibrahim Pasha and enjoyed every minute. We cannot praise the staff highly enough. The young men working the front desk were a joy—well-informed, friendly, fun, and always ready to go out of their way to make things perfect. The room was comfortable, spacious, and very clean. Breakfast was varied and healthy. The location can’t be bettered—just steps from the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Hippodrome, and Topkopi Palace. At night it is so quiet that you could be deep in the country. But the best part of all is the staff, with their spirit of warmth, friendliness, and fun. It was the perfect introduction to Istanbul for us.
