All the great I’bul sites nearby in a sylish little corner of Fatih (with veryvhigh restaurant price level) Very pleasant stay in a cosy and very clean Ottoman style hotel. We received great service by our host Ozzie who has that special way to make you feel superimportant without saying so.
The hotel was very nicely positioned in sultan hamamet, just walking distance from hagia sofia, topkapi Palace and the blue mosque. The hotel itself looked very nice in the foyer but the bedroom were in need of a re-vamp especially the bathroom, the beds where uncomfortable and the shower was disgusting but i didn't complain i was only there for a few nights. The breakfast buffet was quite nice. Ozzy, the night receptionist was really nice and helpfull but hakam who worked in the day was the total opposite and very miserable, even charged more than what was agreed for an extra guest, but all that aside the hotel is ok if you want br close to the attractions and aren't to fussy about cleanliness.
It is located at a quieter area but still very convenient to the historical mosque sites. Staff members are all professional. I especially would like to thank Mr.Semsettin for his kindness during the difficult health issues in Istanbul.

This hotel was difficult for taxis to get to, the bathroom had a lot of mold in the shower, they gave me a wet pillow and the floor in front of the door to the room felt as if you would fall through.
My husband and I absolutely adored Yusuf Pasha! The atmosphere and decor was right up my husbands alley. It is rather qaint and reminds one of a much more classic time especially the old fashioned elevator. The gentlemen at the front desk were extremely kind and helpful especially Shafak. We will definitely stay here again!
Great location, very close to major attractions. The staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The breakfast was very good, with a great variety.
A boutique hotel that is very centrally located. Walk to Blue Mosque, Topikapi Palace, Aaya Sophia, Sulta's Hammam, many restaurants, shopping and other historice must-see places! For those who like a bit of walking, even Grand Bazar and Spice Bazar and sea shore!
Also, included in the price, is a good breakfast, room-safe, excellent staff and coffee!
The staff were great. Our room had a faulty ceiling light. I reported it 3 times and nobody came to fix it. It blinked every 4 seconds similar to a strobe light all through day and night. Try to stay further up the hill towards the Blue Mosque.
this is an excellent hotel: good and friendly service, superb location and reasonable price. i may stay here again if i ever come back to visit Istanbul again.

Dear Teh,
Thank you so much for your comment. We hope to see you again.
Best regards.
I had amazing experience during my stay. The staff are so polite and friendly and helpful. The hotel is close to very important historical and beautiful places. Will go there again!
Great location. Mostly helpful staff. Shower a bit tricky. Very good breakfast changes daily.

We stayed there for two weeks. The hotel is decent. The staff is friendly but they wouldn’t help all that much. I asked the receptionist for an upgrade to a room with a bathtub instead of the Turkish hamam. He told me he would have that room ready for me the next day. I asked again and he kept saying he would let me know. My time there passed by and he kept saying tomorrow. I finally saw that they were not serious and had poor professionalism. Generally, the hotel staff keep to themselves and are not friendly. There was one staff member, Safak, who was really nice and helpful. The receptionists would not give a greeting upon us walking into the hotel. Their breakfast was okay. Overall, average hotel but below average customer service. I wouldn’t really recommend it.

Perfect area, cozy common areas, lovely breakfasts, terrible air-conditioning, room above an open air restaurant which makes it too noisy.
Quite comfortable for the value. Location was quite good with walking distance to Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque.

Good hotel at competitive rate in historic city
It's a good hotel, priced at a competitive rate and situated in the historic old city area Sultanahmet. Within walking distance to major Byzantine and Ottoman attractions - Aya Sofia, Blue Mosque, Grand Bazaar, Süleymaniye Mosque, etc.
A pleasant place to stay in Sultanahmet, close to the sites and many restaurants. The room was a bit small but not stuffy, the beds were very comfortable bath a little tight but clean and nothing to complain about. The area was quiet at night, removed from the hustle of the main streets The staff was great, especially Ali, very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good, a bit monotonous. All in all a good place to stay in Istanbul.
We had a week of great breakfasts and beautiful sights in Istanbul. This has been the best hotel and area for easy access to all the places we wanted to visit. We will happily stay in the Yusuf Pasa again in future.
The staff at this hotel were excellent - not too 'hard-selling' on the tours but provided information and were knowledgeable. Reception permanently manned and additional help was always available if required. Good price and the breakfast room serenely restful - an extensive buffet and they try to make breakfast a little different each day, particularly with the hot food and soup! Rooms provided with tea/coffee making facility and mini-bar in which you can refrigerate your own shop-bought refreshments if required.
We REALLY enjoyed our 7 nights in this hotel - it's an uphill walk in the morning about 3-6 blocks to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern, Arasta Bazaar, Hippodrome, Topkapi Palace, Islamic Archeological Museum, and a few blocks further to the grand bazaar. The Spice market and Galata bridge is a bit further but we found short cuts to walk there also. We did a hop on / hop off tour the first 2 days and saw the BIG picture which helped decide what interested us the most. There are great eating restaurants literally everywhere ! There is a bank 3 blocks away - to take money out with a credit card or exchange money from your country to turkish lira. We were shocked to have a hot tub in our room along with the king size bed and the view of the marmara sea… it was wonderful… The full breakfast every morning was just fantastic with so many choices AND the staff were very helpful. They helped arrange our transportation to and from the airport which was a tremendous relief. My husband loved that every evening, the walk back to the hotel was downhill :)
Hotel was nice an clean, front desk staff 24hrs (which was great when we arrived at 1am).
The hotel is located very close to the blue mosque, having said that location is oposite direction to everything else. We found ourselves walking through the blue mosque and the main square every day 2 or 4 times a day depending how many times we left the hotel. Closest tram is 10 minutes away. Train out of the city is 4 blocks away.
Staff was super nice, breakfast was pretty decent. Room was clean and nice, but no luxuries. Ask for a higher room to avoid street noise from people coming in and out or smoking outside (which seems to be a favourite pastime of many locals).
The hotel is close to the mosque and aya Sophia, it is about 7 minute walk to the sea side. Only downside was that the walk to the mosque was up a slight hill which was a struggle for my elderly mother. Also the only other downside was that there was water dripping from the ac which fell on the bed.
Other than that everything was great, staff were really friendly
Authentic, clean, cute hotel close to a lot of major attractions, the sea and nice restaurants within walking distance. Staff was great. Ahmet was very helpful in booking our dinner to a nice fish restaurant, Bosporus cruise, Bursa trip and airport shuttle. The free breakfast was super. Despite of the lack of amenities found in more luxurious hotels, the experience of dealing with nice locals was magnificent. I would recommend it to those who want to experience true Istanbul.
Room was nice and clean. Great location, within walking distance to main tourist spot - blue mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi palace, and others. Traditional breakfast served also nice.
Yusuf Pasa Konagi is a small boutique hotel in Sultanahmet, about a 5 minute walk from the Blue Mosque. Aside from this great location, the hotel itself is charmingly decorated! Rooms are quite small though, but this didn't prove to be a problem. Was greeted at 2 in the morning very politely and given suggestions on what to see in Istanbul. Hotel is very close to a "restaurant row" as well. Can highly recommend this hotel!

It was adequate for an overnight stay. The breakfast was cold by the time we got there - still within the time allocated.
