Naz Wooden House Inn offers a thoroughly unique small hotel in an Old City location.

Visitors who not only want to see the history of Old Istanbul, but want to sleep right on top of it too will love this quirky little hotel! The Naz Wooden House Inn, as the name suggests, is a traditional Turkish wooden house which has been built right into the ancient city walls. Some of the guest rooms even feature parts of the walls, plus there are archways and other unique bits of architecture which are apparently remains of an 8th century Byzantine house which once stood here.

This Istanbul hotel is ideally placed to visit all of the surrounding historic attractions, which are within 10 minutes walk, and from the pretty rooftop terrace where breakfast is served, there are spectacular views of the Blue Mosque and the Sea of Marmara.

Location: The Naz Wooden House Inn is located in the Sultanahmet area of the Old City. It is approximately a 15 minute drive to Istanbul Ataturk Airport. Historic attractions are within ten minutes walk.

Nearby Attractions: The area in which this Istanbul hotel is located is an attraction in itself! This part of the Old City is a historical preservation district and along with the Naz Wooden House Inn there are a number of other similar wooden houses, making this an attractive part of the city to wander around and admire the buildings. Once you’ve explored the vicinity you’ll be pleased to know that the Blue Mosque is less than 10 minutes walk away, as is Aya Sofya, the gates to Topkapi Palace, the Hippodrome and more. In fact, all of the most popular attractions and museums are within easy walking distance.

Facilities & Services: This is a small Istanbul hotel and hence is not big on facilities, yet has everything guests need for a comfortable stay.

During the colder months there is an indoor dining room. The quaint lobby area has seating and a TV, and airport pickup services are available from both of Istanbul’s airports.
