Scene
Charming three-story hotel with old-fashioned interiors
Angel's
Home Hotel occupies a three-story building with a pink facade on a
charming, quiet street made up of similar historical houses, most dating
back to the 19th century. Guests enter via a
pleasant courtyard garden at the entrance and a canopy of colorful
hanging umbrellas. The reception area is a long room with low
ceilings. A seating area with old-fashioned roll-arm couches and armchairs occupies one
end, while the other end holds a bar. The wall behind the reception desk
is covered with gilded picture frames containing notices and a large
map of Istanbul. Overall, the decor is dated, especially the
bright-pink walls of the hallways and gilded railings of the
staircase. This property is popular with leisure travelers who want to
experience the Old World charm of the Sultanahmet area and be
close to tourist attractions.

Rooms
Clean and comfortable rooms with old-fashioned decor
The
guest rooms at Angel's Home Hotel are clean, comfortable, and
well-maintained, each equipped with air-conditioning, a
flat-screen TV, a minibar (with alcoholic and non-alcoholic
drinks), and an electric kettle. The decor is old-fashioned, with floral or patterned wallpaper covering the walls, floral-print curtains hanging at the windows, and matching floral-print bed runners and pillows on the beds. Some rooms have balconies with street views, while others have low ceilings and feel cramped. The tiled
bathrooms are modern but small, featuring walk-in showers with
rainfall showerheads. Other handy extras include slippers,
bathrobes, and hairdryers. The Triple Room includes a double bed,
single bed, separate living area, and kitchen -- ideal for families.
The hotel also offers a two-bedroom apartment located in an annex
right by the main building. Past guests have complained about poor soundproofing between rooms.

outdoor terrace with views of the Bosphorus River. There's also an
open-air rooftop terrace with beanbag chairs and views over the rooftops of Sultanahmet and the Blue
Mosque. An indoor lounge has several leather chesterfields and free
