About
Hotel Alp Guesthouse
Hotel Alp Guesthouse sits on a quiet lane off Akbiyik Caddesi, in the heart of Istanbul's Sultanahmet district. It is a 7-minute walk from Gulhane Park and close to the Topkapi Palace, Hagia Sophia, and Blue Mosque. The 3-star property has 14 rooms, some with city views, and free Wi-Fi throughout.
The guesthouse operates as a bed-and-breakfast: breakfast is served on the rooftop terrace, where guests can see the Sea of Marmara or the Bosphorus while eating local dishes. The small scale means service is personal, and staff are known for carrying luggage up the stairs and offering tourist assistance.
