Hotel Yesil Ev, Istanbul: 49 reviews and 3 photos
Yesil Ev is a boutique hotel in the heart of Sultanahmet...
In 1977 this mansion was up for sale and was taken under control by the Turkish Touring and Automobile Association. The old wooden building was so far beyond repair that, with the consent of the Commission for Ancient Monuments, it was demolished and rebuilt. The nineteen rooms and layout were carefully preserved and the exterior remade as an exact replica.The furnishings have been created in the style of a 19th century winter mansion. The building has an absolutely unrivaled location between Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, and at the same time offers visitors the warm, friendly atmosphere of an old Istanbul home.After the opening of this unique building in March 1984 as the Yesil Ev, it very quickly attained a world-wide reputation and was awarded in 1985 the medal for the year by “Europa Nostra”. Yesil Ev had, indeed, introduced the concept of true comfort and hygiene to this “derelict” district and opened a new epoch in Turkish tourism by combining modern standards with historical style.Its a unique Hotel fror the people who wants to try something different than the hotels

this sounds very appealing - but then I saw the price range so think its too high for us! we have 3 weeks in Turkey with rental car so don't want to pay too much for accommodation!
Dear Angela I am sure everybody can find solutions in Istanbul ...
well we have had to separate - 1 is staying in one place where its cheap but I didn't like the reviews some saying its quite dirty and 2 of us staying a bit more expensive but with much better reviews...which I think we got the last room - but I have read quite a few not very good reviews for hotels around Istanbul so for 5 nights pleased to find both budget and comfortable!
