About
Hotel La White - Istanbul
Hotel La White is a compact, 12-room property on Cerrahpaşa Caddesi in Istanbul's Aksaray area. It sits about a 25-minute walk from the New Mosque and within about 100 metres of the Yusufpaşa tram stop, making Sultanahmet's main sights a few stops away. The hotel offers free Wi-Fi and on-site parking — a practical plus in this part of the city.

Guests consistently mention the friendly, multilingual staff — particularly at reception — and the hotel's value for money. The overall rating from 577 reviews is 6.9 out of 10, reflecting a mix of appreciation for location and staff, with some variability in room size and noise.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
3 reasons to book- Exceptional staff — Guests repeatedly praise the friendly, helpful reception team — several reviews call out specific staff members by name, and one notes the manager speaks five languages including Arabic.
- Prime location for sightseeing — A short walk to the Yusufpaşa tram stop and within a couple of stops of Sultanahmet's major attractions — Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and the Basilica Cistern.
- Good value for money — With rates around £35 per night, several guests consider this a budget-friendly base that doesn't compromise on essentials like comfort and cleanliness.
–
Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Small rooms — A few guests note the rooms are compact, though they generally find them manageable — one mentions navigating around the bed was fine despite the size.
- Inconsistent Wi-Fi speed — While free Wi-Fi is available throughout, one guest reported it slowed down in the afternoon, returning to normal in the morning and evening.
- Mixed feedback on breakfast and staff — A couple of reviews are less enthusiastic — one calls breakfast 'good' but not standout, and another gives a low rating citing only the receptionist, morning staff attitude, and price as positives.

6.9Verified guest“Great stay — the location made it easy to see all the main sights. The room was snug but the bed comfortable, and the in-room fridge was handy for drinks and snacks. Wi-Fi was steady in the morning and evening, though a bit slower in the afternoon. The cleaning staff were cheerful and polite. The room was small but manageable around the big bed. Would recommend for a short stay.”
6.9Verified guest“Fantastic location, easy to find. Close to public transport, restaurants and shops.”
6.9Verified guest“Excellent value with wonderful staff, especially Asli and Levan. Each room is painted a different colour and named after it — I stayed in room 504, 'The Pink White Room', which was spacious with a modern bathroom. Within walking distance of Aksaray metro and very near the Yusufpaşa tram stop for Sultanahmet.”
6.9Verified guest“Cozy hotel with a perfect location and easy access to public transport. Comfortable beds, good hot water pressure, and free internet that worked well on my floor. The room was small but had large windows with plenty of natural light. Breakfast was simple but filling.”
6.9Verified guest“Staff are friendly and helpful, the location is great (near the Yusufpaşa tram station), breakfast is good, and rooms are comfortable. Simply the kind of hotel you'd want to stay at.”
6.9Verified guest“The receptionist, the morning staff's attitude, and the price.”
