"Cultural tomes are piled in reception and throughout the 24 rooms of this exemplary design hotel, which also has a comfortable lounge with open fire, and a terrace bar with knockout views of the nearby Blue Mosque and Hippodrome." From Lonely Planet's Istanbul. Here, Ibrahim Pasha is singled out as one of Istanbul's "six top choice hotels".

"Hotel Ibrahim Pasha is a breath of contemporary fresh air. And though it’s named for the neighborhood’s most famous resident, the Grand Vizier to Sultan Suleyman in the 1500s, it wears its historical influence lightly. These things are generally a matter of degree — of showing enough Ottoman influence to convey a proper sense of place, but never so much that a local would find it kitschy. Always contemporary, always stylish." From Michelin Guide Hotel Selection.

"With its air of quiet sophistication, this tastefully furnished boutique hotel makes a most refined refuge from the bustle of the city. ” From Cadogan's Turkey.

"There's an attention to detail and an unfussy elegance at the Ibrahim Pasha that puts it head and shoulders above the other boutique hotels that have opened up over the past ten years around Hagia Sophia." From The Daily Telegraph's Dream Cities.

"Converted from a 19th-century four-storey townhouse, the Ibrahim Pasha Hotel offers sophisticated and modern accommodation, a rarity in the Sultanahmet area, and is an ideal place to stay for the first time visitors wanting to explore Istanbul's historic monuments to their collective hearts' content. The rooms are well equipped and confortable, and all are decorated in the ubiquitous contemporary-with-a-twist-of-Ottoman style." From StyleCity Istanbul.

"The faultlessly elegant Ibrahim Pasha has taken a discreet mallet to its nineteenth-century layout and now offers rooms with space enough to sleep, lounge, and whirl like a dervish. The deluxe doubles are a little pricier but worth every cent." From Condé Nast Traveller.
