Ottoman Suites by Sera House

Alles war hervorragend.Immer wieder gerne.Lage war Top.Unser Zimmer war ein Traum.

The old and local vibe, tasteful decorations. You get the feel of a authentic home. (It's a old family home turned to hotel) It's a bed and breakfast turned to boutique hotel. The location is very peaceful residential area. Local grocery stores and restaurants are opposite the property. Metro subway is 5-7 minutes walk downhill. Metro to hotel is uphill takes double the time. The breakfast was amazing outstanding and fit for nobility. We could eat just half of the served breakfast at the cafe. They a large peaceful relaxing cafe on the ground floor with great ambiance. They have a their own Istanbul and local area guide in the room in form of a printed card set. Very thoughtful of the owners. There is a public children park close by.

Very few things. Washroom had no exhaust fan. The hotel is more like staying at someone's house. This can be a great thing or very bad depending on your preferences. If you want the comfort of a hotel service ho elsewhere.

Sehr nette Gastgeber! Ein renoviertes altes Haus mit geschmackvoller Einrichtung, umgeben von einem schattigen Garten. Ruhige Lage. Sehr gutes Frühstück. Gleich um die Ecke die Busverbindung zum Hafen Üsküdar, eine Haltestelle bis zur Metro.

L’emplacement est calme et agréable. Le personnel était aimable et l’hôtel a un charme authentique.

Nos encantó sentirnos en una casa otomana, en un barrio local. Nos atendieron con cortesía y esmero. La limpieza un 10. Lo recomendaría siempre

La posizione defilata dal centro turistico, facile da raggiungere con i mezzi. Residenza tipica molto ben tenuta e curata nei dettagli, anche il locale dove si consuma la colazione molto carino. Lo staff molto accogliente . Super esperienza

Localização, ambiente amigável; tivemos um convívio muito agradável com a comunidade do entorno do hotel. Adoramos os gatos.

It is like a home :)

Everything is nice I enjoyed my stay :) I felt like at our townhouse :) peaceful

Ottima colazione turca preparata al momento. Staff gentile e molto disponibile. Zona assolutamente autentica e non turistica.

Il servizio colazione inizia alle 9. Se devi partire presto come noi ti viene dato un sandwich assolutamente non paragonabile alla colazione che ti perdi. La struttura è tutta in legno quindi i rumori si trasmettono molto facilmente. La nostra camera a piano terra è lato strada era molto bella ma piuttosto rumorosa.

indimenticabile

nulla :)

Le lieu est très accueillant tout comme la propriétaire ! Les plats typiques qui nous ont été proposés étaient délicieux et le petit déjeuner copieux. Merci ! Par ailleurs l'arrêt de bus pour Kadikoy est juste à côté.

Frühstück

Son derece ilgili ve son derece misafirperver kişiler.

Очень аутентичный особняк, принадлежавший одной семье на протяжении ста с лишним лет с продуманным дизайном. Очень вкусные турецкие завтраки которые готовят в кафе при отеле, отличный персонал.

Хотелось бы чтоб было ближе к набережной и Кузгунджуку, но близко станция метро

Das war das schlechteste Hotel, in dem ich jemals gewesen bin. Ich bin nur wegen der Bewertung hingegangen, aber ich habe gelernt, dass man sich nicht auf Bewertungen verlassen sollte. Ich werde dort nie wieder hingehen. Ich empfehle es auch niemandem. Wenn Sie möchten, dass Ihr Urlaub ruiniert wird, dann gehen Sie dorthin. Sie gehen in ein Hotel, benutzen die Toilette und es kommt kein Wasser aus der Spülung. Weil das Spülsystem kaputt ist. In einem Hotel, für das ich 85 € für eine Nacht bezahlt habe, zeigt es nur, wie inkompetent die Betreiber sind, wenn sie etwas, das 1,20 € kostet, nicht reparieren. Noch um 23 Uhr hört man das laute Gelächter aus dem Café, und um 4:30 Uhr morgens spürt man im Bett den extrem lauten Müllwagen. All das zeigt, was für ein schreckliches Hotel das ist. Wenn Sie nicht schlafen möchten, dann gehen Sie dorthin. Ich weiß nicht, wie ich die Schlechtigkeit dieses alten Holzhauses, das sich Hotel nennt, noch schlimmer beschreiben soll. Mit den drei Schlüsseln, die man Ihnen gibt, betreten Sie dieses uralte Gebäude. Es gibt keinerlei Kartensystem oder Ähnliches. Das Innere Ihres Badezimmers ist vom Gebäude aus sichtbar. Vergessen Sie das auch nicht. Sie sind definitiv nicht sicher. Außerdem wird Ihr Zimmer wegen der verwendeten dünnen Vorhänge niemals richtig dunkel. Sie sind nicht einmal auf die Idee gekommen, für 1 oder 2 Euro einen verdunkelnden Vorhang anzubringen. Kurz gesagt: Wenn Sie eine katastrophale Erfahrung machen wollen, dann gehen Sie dorthin. Die selbstverliebten Hotelbesitzer sieht man an jedem einzelnen Detail dieses Hauses. Das nennt man, mit dem eigenen Geld lächerlich gemacht zu werden. Ich habe inklusive Frühstück bezahlt. In meinem Leben habe ich noch nie ein Frühstück gesehen, das erst um 9 Uhr beginnt. Offenbar müssen die Gäste warten, bis die Betreiber nach Lust und Laune aufwachen und das Frühstück vorbereiten. In anderen Hotels beginnt das Frühstück um 6 Uhr, hier erst um 9 Uhr.

Ottoman Suites is set in a beautiful Ottoman-period building. Me and my Wife absolutely loved the décor and our room. We truly felt like we were transported back to the Ottoman times. The bed was unbelievably comfy and it was very quiet at night. This is the benefit of the staying in the Asian side of Istanbul, as it is quieter than the hectic European side but we were easily able to reach the Uskudar pier on the Bosphorous with a 3 minute taxi drive each day. We had a friend visit us several times at the hotel and the garden courtyard was a particularly elegant and chilled place to hang out in the evenings. The Turkish Breakfast was unbelievably good and well prepared, our waiter Arsoy was always smiling and hospitable. I would highly recommend Ottoman Suites to anyone who wants somewhere chilled and relaxed to stay on their Istanbul trip, but (conveniently) distanced from the madness of the European side.

I requested an extra duvet from the staff on one of the nights, simply as being quite a tall man one duvet is not enough for me and my wife. I saw that on the hotel room contact card there was a laminated paper with the words "Herhangi bir şeye ihtiyacınız olursa lütfen bize mesaj gönderin" and a list of contacts. When I asked in Turkish on whatsapp to one of the owners for an extra duvet, I was met with a "?". After several hours a staff member brought up the duvet which I appreciated. The next morning at breakfast, the owners wife asked me why I needed an extra blanket and seemed absolutely puzzled at this request and kept asking why I didn't use the small wool blankets in the cupboard. I think it was a little over the top. Generally in hotels guests usually ask for extra pillows or extra duvets, I felt like it was a little bit of an interrogation for something quite benign. Please in the future if a guest asks for any extra bedding and reaches you using the card that says "Herhangi bir şeye ihtiyacınız olursa lütfen bize mesaj gönderin", don't make them feel like they've caused trouble for this simple ask. Apart from this my stay was great at Ottoman Suites. Many thanks to the staff.

Very calm place and old style (in great sense). There was very comfortable!

J'ai aimé le côté ancien du konak, on est dans une vraie maison ancienne, avec tous les souvenirs d'une famille. C'est comme un retour vers une histoire de la Turquie. Le petit déjeuner était copieux. le staff est très accuaillant.

Nice helpful staff, great breakfast, good room.

Quite a walk from Uskudar central

Edificio historico encantador con muebles y decoración antiguas con estilo. Personal muy amable y educado. Café con jardin y ambiente muy agradable.

Horario desayuno empieza tarde (9:00)

I really like Ottoman Suites and will come stay here again soon. The rooms and building are great. Stylish as pictured. The neighbourhood is lovely: got a nice vibe, close to everything, but also not in the thick of it with its own peace and charm. Breakfast is a joy. The cats are the best. But it’s Gülşah and her team that make the place. Couldn’t ask for kinder, more hospitable and full of the best advice. I’m so grateful and thank you for having me. See you soon ✌🏽

Номер был отличный,все что необходимо для краткосрочного проживания есть,во дворике работает кафе (кухня вкусная),метро в шаговой доступности так же как и красивые локации Ускюдара.

Une pépite. Cet établissement a énormément de cachet. La chambre était très propre, fonctionnelle, avec toutes les commodités nécessaires. Un quartier vraiment sympa, plus authentique que le hub touristique, et dans lequel on se sent en toute sécurité. Le personnel était charmant. Nous reviendrions sans hésitation.

Very well cared for guesthouse with friendly and attentive staff. I love the human touch that hotels don’t have. The breakfast was delicious. Traveling with young kids it’s really nice to have a garden cafe downstairs with lots of food options.

The location was a bit off the beaten path, but that’s also what made it great. Not in the thick of it. A little bit of traffic noise from the street, but not really at night, and not that’s bad.

This hotel is a real gem in the Asian side of Istanbul. Very beautiful vintage design with a special feeling. Nice breakfast, tasty coffee and friendly kittens in hotel's diner. Amazing, lush garden. Bus stop near the hotel.

The property is an old restored property with an exquisite quaint feel. The cafe is a picturesque place to have breakfast, which is yummy. Public transport is very close by, although one has to point out that travelling by bus in Istanbul can be rather time-consuming. The picturesque instagram-famous-neighbourhood of Kuzguncuk, with its lovely shops, delicious cafes is just 15 minutes downhill walk from the property.

The room we stayed in was tiny, almost cramped for two people with two suitcases. The bathroom, although very clean and functional, had rather low water pressure. There was no safe in the room, something we have almost come to expect as standard in rooms, especially for boutique properties like this. Other than Kuzguncuk there isnt much else to see within walking distance.

Аутентичный домик и тихое местечко, очень довольно что прожила там. Важно - недалеко мечеть поэтому рано утром слышно призыв на молитву - можно прихватить беруши на этот короткий момент

Sehr gutes Frühstück, sehr nette Gastgeber, schönes Zimmer im historischen Gebäude.

The Landlady was very welcoming, strongly supporting and could be contacted ( in the case of an emergency ) round the clock. WE had very interesting chats wirh her. The breakfast was delicious. The Chalet / House is so charming and well kept- a bit like a beautiful museum.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The owner and other staff were very helpful. Rooms are very stylish and clean. We were provided with everything we needed. A big bonus is a very pleasant restaurant as a part of the hotel. We will come back!)) Thank you

This place feels more of a home than a hotel. We very much enjoyed our stay, it was an authentic experience. Loved the house and the neighbourhood, also their garden restaurant. The breakfast was generous and delicios, great coffee. The owner and the staff were very nice and helpful. We will gladly come back!

Персонал был очень дружелюбный, комната комфортная, еда вкусная, очень приятно находиться на территории

Комната немного маленькая, но комфортная, что засыпал как младенец

I was looking for a place that could be recognized as authentic turkish style and i found that one. If you want to try accomodation that feels original, with a great breakfast, i could recommend you that one. The room was very cozy, bed was comfortable, everything was clean. Good contact with owners. It has been our first time in Istanbul and now im pretty sure that Ottoman Suites took part in making that trip memorable.

To be honest i can't remember anything i can complain about.

Очень аутентичное место, очень камерное. В нем продумана каждая мелочь и деталь. Но так же это и влечет за собой обратную сторону медали. Вкусный кофе, вкусный завтрак, приветливый персонал.

Из-за того, что дом старинный, то шумоизоляции нет совсем. Почти каждую ночь мы слышали или машины на дорогах, или людей, а в последнюю ночь строители ВСЮ НОЧЬ дробили асфальт на дороге прямо возле отеля. и никто из персонала отеля не остановил данную ситуацию. Жили мы на 3 этаже куда ведет винтовая крутая лестница. Поднимать и спускать чемоданы по 23 кг было очень тяжело, помочь было некому... персонала просто нет для этих целей. В ванне и в номере было очень холодно.

The property is absolutely beautiful. I felt like coming home. I even had some of the same decor in my own home and there was so much love in every little detail

The only thing that I struggled with was the water pressure and the heat of the water it was a little bit cooler than I like and the pressure was not that good in our shower

Было очень натоплено, пришлось чуть приоткрыть окно. Хороший район, можно пешком дойти до Босфора, посетить мечеть Михримах-султан.

Всё в порядке было, будет совсем хорошо, если девушка из бара будет говорить по-английски, я не смогла ей объяснить, что мы хотим к завтраку...

Normal

Atmosfer daha iyi olabilirdi

The staff were super friendly and great. Met with the owner as well and they were super helpful as well. Gave us tips on where we should go and visit which are pocket friendly. Lovely stay and the location was great as well. nearby bus and metro available which made our trip even more friendly. And also not to forget the cute cats around which topped it all off. thank you again and would come back when we visit Istanbul again.

The heater in the room was a bit old, hence it wasn't working that well. and also the bidet in the toilet could be better as the placement of the spray was not great (that could be the manufacturing issue of the toilet bowl). everything else was great!.

Trop petit. Ca correspond a un studio.

Acceuil de la gérante

Breakfast was superb. Coffee was excellent- it is rare to find espresso drinks offered with Turkish breakfasts, so we were very pleasantly surprised. Details and decoration were charming and classy. The proprietor was very friendly and helpful with great English. The courtyard and cafe offered a peaceful respite from the chaos of Istanbul. We were traveling with our two children, 3yo and. 9mo, so the family suite was perfect. Everyone was very accommodating and friendly with our kids. They helped arrange a transfer from the airport, which was very helpful.

If you have never been to Istanbul, the location is a little bit out of the way from most big tourist locations, but we loved being in a new part of the city that wasn’t overrun with tourists. Public transport is easy to use, and getting around was no problem.

Characterful and charming

Plumbing needs a bit of work

Потрясающее место! Дом с многолетней историей, который принадлежит одной семье. Сразу видно, что люди любят и ценят это место и историю. Все фотографии соответствуют действительности. Все в номере продумано до мелочей. Есть все необходимое. Шкаф для одежды и вещей, чайник, набор чашек, чай, кофе, даже тарелка, нож и ложки. В ванной фен, набор полотенец, тапочки, шампунь, мыло. Потрясающая чистота и порядок. Все в рабочем состоянии. Завтрак (не "шведский стол") сервируют, но очень сытный. Если вдруг покажется мало, в дополнительной порции тоже не откажут. Посоветуют куда лучше сходить, что посмотреть, каким транспортом удобно добраться и т.д. Рядом остановки транспорта. От паромного причала Ускюдар пешком неспеша около 25-30 минут, можно сесть на автобус, можно проехать 1 станцию метро. Мы ходили пешком. Рядом красивый район Кузгунджук, Роща Фетихпаша. Если приехали изучать Стамбул и Азиатскую сторону места лучше не найти.

Такого нет.

Beautiful old house with a lovely cafe for breakfast. Great location with many buses. Super friendly cats!

All good

1. Отличные апартаменты 2. Было чисто 3. Вкусные завтраки Нам всё понравилось

Ein nettes antikes Zimmer in einem der noch existierenden Holzhäuser. Gleich nebenan ist das, zur Untetkunft zugehörige, Kaffee, welches sehr gute Speisen anbietet. Unser Zimmer lag zum Garten, so das wir ga z gut vom Lärm der Strasse aggeschottet waren.

Unser Zimmer lag direkt über der Kpche, so das wir immer etwas Küchengeruch im Zimmer hatten.

This is a wonderful hotel, fantastic staff, excellent location. Food wis lovely. I would highly recommend this hotel,faultless. Istanbul is wonderful also,. I will return again and stay at this hotel

The whole house, including bedrooms, was beautifully furnished in traditional Ottoman style and it felt like a family home rather than a bland anonymous place to pass through. Unlike many larger hotels, it had real character. The owners and staff were all friendly and helpful at all times, answering questions, recommending places to eat and visit and chatting to guests - they seemed genuinely interested in their guests. The cafe that is part of the hotel was lovely - we had wonderful breakfasts there. The location was great and the building was set back from a small road so it felt quiet and private. The neighbourhood was also very interesting - altogether a great place to stay if you want to have more than just the standard tourist experience of Istanbul. And getting to other parts of the city was really easy by metro, ferry or bus.

Nothing.

Nourriture ditétique me convenant Responsable aimable, prévenante, de bons conseils pour la visite de la ville et des bonnes adresses. Personnel attentif

Zelo všeč nam je bil apartma, zajtrk, nasploh hrana, ki jo nudijo tudi za večerjo. Osebje je tudi prijazno. Vse pohvale.

Fajn bi bilo, če bi imeli dva ključa za glavna vhodna vrata.

L'équipe de Sera House est disponible est très accueillante. La maison a beaucoup de charme !

Ligging goed gelegen. Korte afstand van woning familie.

Niets aan de accomodatie. Maar wel op sommige mensen die er komen en geen begrip hebben voor de Turkse ciultuur.

Struttura molto bella, pulita, in una zona tranquilla di Istanbul da cui però è facile raggiungere i luoghi d'interesse. Personale gentile. Ottima colazione

Cuscino scomodo. Coperta piccola per 2 persone

Le personel très gentille à l’écoute on n’a adoré le charme de cet hôtel qui reflète beaucoup de belle chose on n’a passé les meilleurs vacances je recommande fortement

Le métro est un peu loin mais sinon les bus sont très près

meeting Turkish peopole and learning about Turkey

干净卫生，价格实惠，老板友善，乐于助人

Die Gastfreundschaft und vorallem wie sich die Inhaberin um unsere Wünsche ohne wenn und aber kümmert😍

Nichts. Alles war einfach fantastisch!

I absolutely loved my stay here! The hotel has a charming old-style atmosphere, yet it’s very comfortable and exceptionally clean. The family who runs it is incredibly warm and welcoming, which made the experience feel even more special. The garden is beautiful and the breakfast was amazing — fresh, generous, and full of local flavors. I highly recommend this place, especially for longer stays. For sure I will be back!

Все понравилось, месторасположение - супер, завтраки вкусные с чудесным видом, особенно пахлава - она была просто свежайшая и божественная. Персонал приветливый, короче, все было замечательно.

Excellent

Nice location, good restaurant, great breakfast

This hotel was perfect!! Very friendly and helpful. Gulsah was so very helpful with logistics and suggestions for what to see, how to get from here to there, and where to eat locally. On this trip, I previously had stayed at two hotels in the Old City, and this was my final Türkiye Istanbul stay (after flying in via Izmir from my Sirince/Selcuk visits). My total trip was 3 weeks, at this hotel for 4 nights. A very comfortable, clean home/hotel with traditional decor from the family, wonderful architectural details... it all lent to a friendly, quiet ambience. My bed was super comfortable and I slept so well! I had the top floor bedroom (lots of winding stairs to my room but it did not bother me, and is part of the inherent architectural character). The room had pleasant neighborhood views above the garden. My room also had a balcony terrace that I didn't use as the nights were cooler during my stay and I was out most of the day. I booked this hotel based on reviews on other sites, and was interested in the Asian Side of Istanbul. A neighbor of mine here in LA is from Istanbul and suggested the Asian side, and as I had previously stayed in the Old City, to try it for a more local feel. I loved this quiet location and the hotel. The included breakfast in the cafe downstairs was perfect. I purchased lunch here, and also a delicious dinner one night. If you are a walker like I am, the pleasant walk down the hill to the Kuzguncuk is worth it; that neighborhood has the colored, restored houses and more local boutiques and cafes, and then to the waterside for great views to the other side. There is also an easy bus line right by the hotel that is takes 15 minutes to nearby Kadikoy, which is a food haven. Also easy and nice to take a ferry across to the old or new city, which I took to the new city to see the Istanbul Modern Art Museum and more on that side. The hotel can help with suggestions and direct you and also arrange taxi for airport (you pay directly to driver, mine was inexpensive and accepted credit card). I highly recommend this hotel! I felt so comfortable, and Gulsah and their team were very friendly and helpful and great conversations with her that reconfirmed how much I like travelling. Plus their suggestions for the area and how to get around.

Plus their suggestions (more I describe below) and it is easy and nice to take a ferry across to the other side of the city. While I was "travel-tired" after three weeks and not looking forward to my long return direct flight to LA California, I also did not want to leave as I felt the good energy here at this hotel. And so, someday I must come back! I WANT TO RETURN and stay here again!! Thanks so much!!

HEY, ALL SMILES!! I LIKED EVERYTHING HERE!! VERY HAPPY! THANKS SO MUCH! so here are some notes for fellow travelers...as I type too much and out of room in above section. The hotel has great suggestions for all side of the city and how to get around. Gulsah and Vedas are also available easily via WhatsApp for any questions. And they have restaurant suggestions in Uskudar and Kadikoy (in Kadikoy it is a foodie mecca, I took a foodie tour with friends on both sides of the city earlier in my trip, and Kadikoy has tons of options). It is easy to get to Istanbul's other sides from here via ferry (I used the available hotel's Istanbul Transport card), so one day I walked to the Uskudar ferries and went across to the New City to explore including the Istanbul Museum of Modern Art. Another day, I walked down the hill to see Kuzguncuk Uskudar area with its colorful old homes plus the nearby shops and cafes on the leafy pleasant avenue. I had fresh squeezed orange juice at a garden nursery/breakfast cafe along the way. Then I continued over to see the Beylerbeyi Palace and walked back up the hill to return to hotel. Might be too much walking for some, but there is plenty of transportation options and the hotel has great instructions for getting around. One day I used hotel transport card for bus line 12A to/from Kadikoy to spend most of my last day there (I was there earlier on my trip while on a foodie tour with friends). I also explored areas of Kadikoy that were more local. This Hotel will help with booking a ride back to airports if necessary. I decided to let them book taxi for me to IST airport which was helpful (I paid taxi driver direct) rather than using the app. (Brief outline of my trip: I stayed initially in the Old City, then flew to Trabzon, then returned to Old City at another hotel to be near visiting friends, then flew to Izmir for Sirince and Selcuk (Ephesus) , then my final stay here.) I WANT TO RETURN HERE!! :)

The hotel is in a nice area. The café is very beautiful and the house as well.

Overpriced rooms, the staff was distant and not attentive with us. They made us wait 10mins with no explanation. Breakfast was way too simple for the price.

I loved the atmosphere and the very caring staff, they really looked after us. loved the breakfast and freshly brewed coffee ☕. My wife and love cats and we miss ZubZub the most loveable cat in Istanbul 😺

Such a Beautiful House. Loved our stay there it was magical. Breakfast was excellent and we had that in their cafe which is in the grounds of the suites. We ate in the cafe mostly and the food was very good. The owners made us very welcome and were kind.

Everything was perfect.

Beautifull hotel the rooms are beautifully renovated! The owner are very welcoming and ready to help out with anything needed! The hotel is located in a great area in walking distance of spots with excellent view on the Bosphorus. The hotel was very easy accesible by public transport. I enjoyed alot my stay and would warmly recommend it and hapily come back next time! The traditional turkish breakfast in their wo derdull garden was a delight and a plus to the already great stay!!

"I longed for a stay steeped in Ottoman charm, and this quaint little haven answered that call. Wrapped in greenery and graced with timeless design, the house felt like a dream etched in wood and stone. From the moment we passed through the welcoming door, wandered the serene lobby, and entered our room, every corner whispered beauty and left memories blooming in its wake."

That question doesn’t quite apply here—it simply doesn’t fit the situation.
