About
The House Of Tulpan
The House Of Tulpan is an 8-room guesthouse in the heart of Beyoğlu, tucked just off the busy Istiklal Street. Guests consistently praise its sparkling cleanliness and recent renovation, with many noting the rooms feel brand new. The property is within easy walking distance of Taksim Square and the funicular station, making it a practical base for exploring Istanbul.
The small scale means service is personal and attentive — reviewers repeatedly mention the staff's helpfulness, from early check-in to restaurant suggestions.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Very small property — With only 8 rooms, the hotel is intimate but not suited to those seeking large common areas or on-site facilities beyond the basics.
- Strict check-in window — Check-in is only from 14:00 to 20:00, which might be inconvenient for late arrivals.
- Rooms can be compact — Some guests found the rooms small, although this was often acknowledged as expected for the price point.
- Street noise potential — While located off Istiklal, the hotel is still close to nightlife in Beyoğlu, so some noise may carry, especially on weekends.

8.3Verified guest“The room was nice and cozy, with a balcony — perfect for a couple of nights. Everything was great, and the staff were amazing the whole time. The location was ideal, near the clubs and the center; I found a place called Pera Balik Gismando right next door and ate there several times.”
8.3Verified guest“The staff were super helpful and even arranged early check-in. The room was totally spotless, looked brand new, and had a lovely balcony with plenty of space to move around.”
8.3Verified guest“The cozy suites and the Forbes suites are both amazing, sharing the same lounge and reception. Very clean, and you couldn't ask for a better location so close to Istiklal Street with all the shops, cafés, and transport links. The breakfast was rich and nice, and the staff were friendly and helpful.”
8.3Verified guest“Staff were very pleasant and suggested restaurants. The room was well-equipped, brand new, and had a balcony.”
8.3Verified guest“Perfect hotel just off all the main attractions in Taksim Square. The room was brand new and neat, with a balcony — a good offer. The location was prime, close to the Historical Galatasaray Bath, right in the heart of Istanbul.”
8.3Verified guest“Beautiful design, especially the lobby — excellent value for money. Nothing fancy, but clean, beautiful, and cozy. Very central yet off Istiklal Street, so it doesn't get too much noise from nearby pubs. The breakfast was basic but hearty, and it's one of the cleanest small hotels I've been to in Istanbul.”
