Our stay at the World House Boutique Hotel was truly delightful, with a unique charm and personalized service that made it memorable. The rooms were comfortable but could benefit from better noise insulation, especially with the neighboring dance studio. We loved the fantastic staff who went out of their way to make us feel at home. However, the view from our room was disappointing, overlooking an office rather than the expected sights.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at this little gem in the heart of the city! The warm hospitality from the staff made our experience truly special. The location was ideal for exploring, being right next to the iconic Galata Tower and surrounded by vibrant nightlife. The complimentary snacks and beverages in our room were a delightful touch. However, the steep hills in the area can be a bit challenging for some. Overall, it’s a wonderful spot if you’re looking for charm and personal connections during your stay.
