How we score
Each score is worked out by code from the facts this page shows, never from guests’ ratings or a writer’s opinion, and is given as 1 to 5 dots.
Near the sights: how close the nearest listed sight is, and how many are within 1 km. Rooms: the room sizes we show and how many types there are. Facilities: how many kinds the hotel lists (dining, pool or spa, fitness, front desk services, comfort and access). Families: whether children are welcome, and family rooms, a kids’ club or pool, a playground, babysitting. Wellness: spa, hammam, sauna, steam room, pools, gym and massage.
A score is left out when the hotel’s facts are too few to judge it.
Sultanahmet, about 0.2 km from Hagia Sophia
Berk Guest House - Grandma's House stands on Kutlugün Sokak No. 29, postcode 34400, in Istanbul's Sultanahmet district. Its position is its defining feature: Hagia Sophia is about 0.2 km away in a straight line, and the Sultan Ahmed Mosque and the Basilica Cistern are each about 0.3 km.
Hagia Irene is about 0.4 km away, Topkapı Palace about 0.8 km, and the Süleymaniye Mosque about 1.8 km. Sirkeci railway station is about 1 km away, and Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) about 30.1 km. All of these are straight-line distances.

From two 12 m² doubles to a 20 m² family room
The Economy Double or Twin Room and the Standard Double or Twin Room are both 12 m². The Economy Double or Twin Room sleeps up to 3 and has one double bed; the Standard Double or Twin Room sleeps up to 3 and comes either as two twin beds or as one double bed, so it is the pick for two people who want separate beds. At 12 m² both are compact, so a couple wanting more room should look to the Superior rooms instead.
The Superior Double Room with Sea View is 16 m² and is the only room with a sea view. The Superior Double Room with Terrace is 18 m².
For a couple, any room works, and the choice comes down to space and the sea view.

A lift, family rooms and paid parking
The hotel offers family rooms, a lift and parking. Parking is paid, which drivers should weigh when comparing the hotel with alternatives.
Check-in from 13:00, latest 23:30, check-out until 11:00
The 23:30 cut-off for check-in is the rule most likely to matter: anyone whose plans put them at the door later than that cannot check in that night. Check-out at 11:00 is on the earlier side, so morning departures need to be planned around it.
- Check-in runs from 13:00, with the latest check-in at 23:30.
- Check-out is until 11:00.
- Children are allowed.
- Pets are not allowed.
- Parking is paid.
Who it suits and who it does not
The hotel suits travellers coming for Hagia Sophia, the Sultan Ahmed Mosque and the Basilica Cistern, each about 0.2 to 0.3 km away in a straight line. Families are well provided for: children are allowed, family rooms are offered, the 20 m² Family Room has a double bed and a twin bed, and the lift helps with luggage and young children.
It does not suit travellers with pets, which are not allowed. And it does not suit very late arrivals, given the 23:30 latest check-in.
