Kadıköy is the area to stay, if you like to eat and drink well on a reasonable budget. Loved catching the ferries to the tourist sights in the day to the other parts of the city. The M4 Metro runs direct to the Gökßen Airport (SAW) for € 0.50 each!

Good place for families. Lots of police presence, so felt safe. All main mosques and museums within easy walking distance. Plenty of dining options and shops around, all open till very late night. The trams are very frequent and run till late night.

Istanbul is a fantastic city. This is our 6th visit and still find new interesting places each time. The prices are far better on the Asian side , Kadikoy area as most tourists stay on European side To cross the Bosphorus costs 20tl(less than 50p )

You may need an online Turkish to English translator always on hand to avoid miscommunication (probably should get a Turkish SIM-card w/ Internet access). Learn how to use and refill Istanbul Card before your arrival (watch some videos on Youtube)

It's such a unique place to be in. So much to see and do. Public transport is the way to travel, by far the easiest and cheapest. Forget Bosphorous tours, use the public ferry! Each area is different so it's great to be exploring. Very busy though!

If you like cities, Istanbul is fascinating. It is not quiet though! Apart from the major attractions, many within walking distance, we enjoyed a Bosphorus cruise and a visit to the amazing Museum of Innocence with insight into more recent history.

We had a fantastic stay and would thoroughly recommend the Istanbul travel card which we used on the tram system and ferries. Turkish people were so friendly and willing to help. Information volunteers and tourist police everywhere to help also.

My first visit to Istanbul was a very positive surprise. A modern European city full of well maintained and preserved ancient sites. Easy to navigate...a great tourist city. I was there two full days, and could easily have spent a couple more.

Safe, friendly and so much to see! Lots of walking and hills wherever you go. Consider staying a few nights in Sultanhamet area, then move to a different section of town for a completely different experience. Like visiting several cities in one!

Istanbul is a city that has so much history to offer. Other than the many must go places, even roaming aimlessly in it was a treat. You simply would run into places you unexpected sights that were interesting. At least that's my experience.
"I highly recommend a stay at this property. The room was very nice with a balcony. The location is unbeatable since it is near the Hagia Sophia, Bazaar and transportation. What we enjoyed the most is that the staff was amazing, always asking us if they can do anything to make our stay great and offering drinks. Fatima Murat, Kadir, and Sinan went above and beyond to make our trip to Istanbul the best we’ve trip ever had and we travel very often. Exceptional service. "
"Outstanding historical hotel. A must see even if you aren’t staying in the hotel, the historic lobby is so unique. One of the best breakfasts in the city, but don’t limit yourself to the hotel breakfast only since there are so many wonderful breakfast, lunch and dinner places around. The hotel staff were efficient and polite and just very professional. Loved our stay and strongly recommend over some of the more modern hotels if you want to experience Istanbul culture and history. "
"We stayed recently here and were happy overall with our stay.
Pool was great …closed at 8pm…not too crowded …
Breakfast was good overall…lots of breads and traditional Turkish breakfast…omelettes made to order …service was really good and were all friendly …
I would like to thank two individuals particularly who made our stay comfortable …Joseph and I can’t for life of me remember the other guy at reception (had salt pepper hair) were very friendly …
Location is about 15 minute walk to main sites which has some uphill walking to do …lots of stores and travel agencies on the way to the main sites
Good hot water and pressure …ac was good …spacious room "
