Terrace Guesthouse,
at Kutlugün
Sokak 39, Sultanahmet, Istanbul,
is a small, simple, bright, sunny,
friendly, quiet, well located guesthouse
with only seven rooms, all air-conditioned,
with newly-renovated private bathrooms.
All rooms have small refrigerators
("mini-bars"), and Turkish
carpets are everywhere.
The owner, Mr Dogan Yildirim (his
name means "lightning"),
is friendly and welcoming.
Dogan ("doh-AHN") Bey will
show you the hotel's small selection
of rooms, including one at the very
top just off the roof terrace breakfast
room/lounge, which has fine views of
the Sea
of Marmara.
If you climb one level higher, the
small open-air terrace has even better
views of the sea, and excellent views
of the Blue
Mosque and Ayasofya as
well. What a place to sit!
Even if your room has no real view,
it will have something special.
For example, a small ground-floor room
gets nice sunlight, is decorated with
no fewer than nine Turkish
carpets,
and right outside its window is an erik
agaci (plum tree) that,
Dogan Bey says, "Produces the best
plums
in the world!" They're yours to enjoy
(May & June).
The Terrace Guesthouse's location
couldn't be better:
literally around the corner from
the front door
of the posh Four
Seasons Hotel Istanbul,
and less than three minutes' easy
walk to the Hippodrome and Ayasofya.
The hotel lobby is full of carpets that
are for sale, but only if you're interested.
No hard sell here.
Mr Kamil Yildirim, Dogan Bey's brother,
operates the nearby Cosmopolitan
Park Hotel,
just
up the
street, which you might want to consider
if the Terrace is fully booked.
When you contact Dogan Bey, be
sure to mention
TTP. Here's why.
