      For those who have never visited Istanbul is probably the most central area to stay in. Walk out the door and down two blocks for a stroll through the Blue Mosque or the Topkapi Palace or perhaps you would prefer to walk to the Grand Bazaar and engage in a festival of shopping. You are even in within walking distance of the Bosphorus. Come and enjoy your stay in Istanbul in an economical and cordial fashion. Cordial House is also in close proximity to trams, buses, trains and airport shuttle stops. Which ever way you arrive into Istanbul, Cordial House is easy to get to.

    while we were searching a good & budget hotel we came accros Cordial House. After reading positive feedbacks on tha hotel we decided to book our room with a very good price. We faced to the friendly reception staff at the reception and they even gave us brief information about what to do / see in the city. The room size was larger than we could imagine, the daily housekeeping was rated the top by us. The manger, Tugrul booked some sightseeing tours in the city. Overall, we have a great stay and will not hesitate to stay again.

    Cordial is located walking distance from almost all of Istanbul's famous attractions and right next to an internet cafe and supermarket. It has a tourist information room actually in the hotel with a non-agressive, very friendly, and excellent English-speaking guy who can inform you about all of istanbuls well known and lesser known places to visit. moreover, hell lend you one of his out of date information books if you ask him to.


    enjoyed my stay

    The hospitality I received from Cordial House is enormous. The manager, Tugrul Gokce and staff made me feel I was at home in Canada. The warmth and the friendly gestures are overwhelming I feel I lived in a house instead of an hotel. The rooms are clean, every request is attended to without delay, request for trips and advise for travel are well provided and most staff you can converse lengthily even when they are busy. WHen I left a LIRA coin in my laundry, they honestly handed me back the coin. When I asked for a shuttle to the airport, there is no delay. When I request my luggages to be stored, no problem, they will take care of it. If you compare the rates they charge with other hostels, Cordial House is reasonable considering the closeness of the top attractions such as the Turkish Bazaar, Topkapi, Ble Mosque, Cistern Underground, the tram, and the Turkish baths. I will remember my stay in Istanbul as the brightest shining jewel in the entire travels I have had for so many years. I feel the Turkish people as one of the friendliest ever I have met in my travels. I won so many friends in my visits to Cappadocia, Pamukkale, Ephesus, Taksim Square Istiklial Caddesi etc. The movie Midnight Express of so many years ago was wrong. The way the western press focuses right now on the war fronts between the Turks and the Kurds in the south are blown out of proportion. I am very proud that this country retains the tradition and discipline of its history and culture. When my plane flew from Istanbul, I had a lump in my throat, thinking that I am leaving behind the warmth and friendly citizens of this country.


    I loved my stay at Cordial House

    The best place to stay for access to almost every site to see. Rooms were great for the tired travelers. Bathrooms were clean and in nice condition. Restaurant almost next door, theatre across the street and the best shopping just steps away , why stay anywhere else for such an inex pensive and hospitable hotel. And yes the dog was a real charmer. I highly recom mend Cordial house to any of those on a budget, great price for a warm and frien dly hotel.
