2 star hotels in Istanbul

I didn't expect to find such a great value-for-money hotel. It's really good, and I'll definitely stay here again next time. If you're coming by subway, the walk to the hotel is all uphill, which can be a bit tiring. The room is small, but very comfortable. There's a shopping mall, restaurants, and a supermarket nearby. The hotel breakfast is decent, but there's no lunch option, so it's best to eat...

Looking for good value for money, the room was quiet and clean, but very small. It had 24-hour hot water, but the breakfast wasn't great.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 I stayed at HAN Hotel from 19th May to 22nd May 2025 during my visit to Istanbul for the HOMETEX Exhibition at the Istanbul Expo Center (Bakırköy). The location is very convenient and easily accessible to the Expo Center. The hotel staff were friendly, professional, and always ready to help. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the free breakfast was simple but fresh — a good start...

Excellent large 2 star hotel about 500m from Star City mall (massive with pharmacies and phone shops) and a small selection of neighborhood restaurants and supermarkets. 2 subway stations 600m away. Common areas are all huge with plenty of seating and power/WiFi for work. Smoking terraces on all floors and outside reception and breakfast room has outdoor smoking/eating tables. Check out the 4th floor...

Last day breakfast was not Good. Who eat Bell Pepper in Breakfast. Today at last day there were no fruit.

Room was so clean, AC was cold employees were kind, breakfast was good, price was fine

This hotel has an excellent and very helpful staff. The location is extraordinary, every si gle tourist attractions are accessible by walk. The breakfast could be better and the rooms are a bit retro, but I guess it is ideal for budget holiday and backpackers. Thank you for everything.

Great value for the price paid. The hotel is located very conveniently a few meters away from Metro Station at city center. Hotel staff were always kind. At reception Erdal was always friendly and helpful, attending every request we had as fast as possible. The room was cleaned every day, it had heat so it was always warm. Breakfast included a little basic, but more than enough for what was paid. Pub...

Everything id good. The staff are friendly. Rooms are clean. The only thing bothered me was the night clubs noise.

Yes room was good. Staff were courteous. When i got to hotel i was told my booking had been cancelled. If i wanted a room i had to pay at the hotel which was more than what i was originally quoted. Location of hotel was good. Near the metro tram and mamaray. Restaurants near by. Gulhane bazaar 2 min walk.

Close to Sirkeci Station. Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia are within walking distance. The building is old but well maintained. The breakfast is reasonably priced. There was a slight smell from the taps. The staff were very friendly.

Staff made it enjoyable. Very friendly and polite. They kept my luggage in the lobby after the check out until it was the time to move to a different hotel.

The hotel is very conveniently located near the tourist attractions in the old town. The breakfast was delicious and the hotel staff were very helpful.

I was allowed to use the hotel's cleaning laundry for 200 Turkish lira. The location is good, with a shop on the first floor. The room was spacious, but there was a slight smell of cigarettes.

Nice people, friendly, clean, location is good. Excellent

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The rooms are comfortable and the place is pleasant, but what impressed me the most was the staff. The entire team is extremely respectful, professional, and always smiling. You truly feel welcomed and well taken care of. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Outstanding service and a wonderful welcoming atmosphere throughout our stay. A big thank you to Louay and Merouane for their exceptional hospitality, and sincere thanks to all the hotel staff for their friendliness and dedication.

Very friendly staff, rooms were very clean and the location was just perfect. You could access to public transport without a single problem. Highly recommended place to stay.

We had a great stay at The Meretto Hotel Laleli and the staff were a huge reason for our positive experience. All the staff from front of house, kitchen and cleaners were welcoming, approachable and accommodating, and showed great hospitality and interest in our experience along the way. We had a triple single room, which could be a little bigger. It seemed tight at first but once we sorted our luggage...

As a couple we loved our stay here. The staff are wonderful, with great knowledge of the city, accommodated us with an early check in and had an airport shuttle sorted for us in the early hours of the morning. The breakfast was also great with a wide selection at a buffet. Located near a main intersection with easy access to trams and buses. When we come back we will 100% be staying here again.

It is comfortable, very friendly staff. Somewhat old facilities.

Just step away from tram station

Just step away from tram station

We had a wonderful time at Hotel Black tulip from the moment we arrived. The customer service was exceptional. The staff went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect. Everyone was so friendly professional, and always ready to help with a smile. The rooms were spotless, comfortable, and beautiful maintained with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The beds were cozy, and the hotel...

Thank You to Black Tulip Hotel, Istanbul A heartfelt thank you to the Black Tulip Hotel team for the warm welcome and hospitality during our stay from September 11 to 17. We truly appreciated your kindness, cleanliness, and attention to guest comfort. It was a real pleasure to enjoy the delicious breakfasts and the hotel’s perfect location in the heart of Istanbul, which made exploring the city so...

We stayed for a week in Hotel Black Tulip. The room was small, it was enough for me and my wife. Everything was functional and in good shape. The location was really good, with only a minute walk to Gulhane tram station. The noise from the tram was not as bad as we thought it would be. Definitely recommended.

We booked this hotel last minute, just for a day before our flight. We hadn’t booked breakfast in advance, but the staff insisted that we should have it anyway, which was incredibly kind and welcoming. They were very hospitable throughout our stay. The room itself was okay, but the AC didn’t seem to work properly – it got very hot and was difficult to sleep, though this might have been user error...

Quite easy to find. Friendly reception, a lot if restaurant nearby, great location

The hotel's surroundings are comfortable

Overall, I can only say positive things. The location was simply fantastic! We were less than a minute's walk from Istiklal Caddesi. We were in a very central location, and everything was very easy to reach. The hotel is located in an alley with many restaurants. The cleanliness was excellent; it was cleaned every day. The room was small, but it was more than enough for us. The bathroom was also...

Great location. Near the metro station and bus stops. A pedestrian street with shops and cafes is a 2-minute walk away. One downside: the room was very humid. We booked a corner room for an extra fee, which has lots of windows. The windows turned out to be unbearable, as everyone looked out onto the windows of neighboring buildings. It was very noisy in the evenings from the cafe on the ground floor...

This hotel is near to 2 subways and the Decathlon store. I've been there for 2 nights with friends. They have friendly, kind, and supportive staff. There're ready to help you in any way they can. I'm not native in English but in my experience, they can speak English very well. Our room was really small, but it was clean. It wasn't so bright and had lamps around the room. So it couldn't get as bright...

The hotel has an excellent location — very convenient and close to everything. The staff and management were incredibly supportive and kind throughout our stay. They truly went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. A special thanks to Mohamed, who was exceptionally helpful and always ready to assist us with anything we needed. Highly recommended!

The hotel is in the center of Istanbul and in a tourist area, but the room is very small, as is the bathroom. The big problem is that the air conditioner doesn't work when we're outside the room, which is inconvenient in the summer, as guests expect to return to a cool room. Also, the fridge only works when we're inside the room. However, the staff at the hotel are kind and treat the guests very well

It is not my first time in this amazing Hotel The best Hotel service and staff ever and best location too 😍 You can also have dinner and drink shisha with the most beautiful night atmosphere I will always be in this hotel every time I visit Istanbul I want to thank all the staff, without exception, especially Ahmed and Mustafa and AbdulAziz 😍 I highly recommend it

We spent five nights in this beautiful hotel. It was, great, clean, and have lots of good service. We appreciate Mr.Abdalsalam and his group for their good hospitality and kindness we got from them.

It is nice and clean , the owner also is a nice guy.

Clean rooms. Good breakfast. Great location. Staff can be friendly if you are friendly too. If there is any issues the staff will help out even though sometimes it took longer than needed. Overall great experience.

The location is excellent, the room was cleaned every day, and the breakfasts were delicious with a good variety of options! We traveled with a child.

We stayed from October 24th to October 31st, 2025. The hotel is nice, conveniently located, and the rooms, although small, are cozy. They have everything you need: a kettle, Wi-Fi, a hairdryer, a minibar fridge, and coffee. The linens are clean and cleaned daily. The staff was welcoming and friendly, and they were very helpful with any questions we had. We always reached out to a staff member named...

It is reasonable for the price. Location, cleanliness, and service are all okay. However, it is difficult to walk if you have heavy luggage. Because it is an old town, there are many local restaurants near the accommodation.

Nice hotel room in good location. A nice breakfast. Good selection. Air con worked well. Nice to have a balcony also.

Wonderful hotel, wonderful breakfasts and great staff! They helped us with one issue. Mom left her phone in the taxi, and thanks to the cameras outside the hotel, we were able to find the taxi driver by his car number. They explained how to get to the police and helped in every possible way to resolve this issue. Cleaning every day. Yes, there is audibility in the rooms, but it didn’t bother us. The...

Almina was perfect for my father and I. Breakfast was good, very nice tea and the staff were very accommodating and made sure we were okay. The location is perfect to all the shops. I would recommend this place to everyone. Thank you

We didn’t stay. We cancelled due to the Middle East conflict

It was a good stay, especially the reception staff who were very helpful and great listeners. I really loved this experience; it was unique and the location is excellent.

Everything was nice and clean! I like the place!

The staffs are so friendly. The room is clean but unfortunately the day we check in there was a bad smell in the fresh water and the flush water in the toilet has a brownish color too. The next day before we check out the water was clean already. The place is jus walking distance to grand bazaar and there’s a lot of restaurant too

Overall, for the price, the room was decent. The staff were polite and friendly. The bed was comfortable. The room itself was tiny. On the downside: we were put on the ground floor and could hear people walking and talking all night. The sink was very small, making it impossible to wash up properly. The bathroom was a bit dirty; it didn't feel clean. There's a market nearby and cafes within walking...

Good location ,nice and helpful staff everything is ok

Best service, nice cleaning, queen size large rooms , clean and quiet area ,big shower, tea and coffee system is in the room, clothes washing system is inside the hotel and there is a fridge in the room ‘ I’m advising you if you visit Istanbul this is the best hotel .because the prices is so cheap !

Air conditioning is shared; you can't adjust it yourself. There aren't enough outlets. There are cleaning problems. There's no parking problem.

A good budget option. We paid AU $35 for the budget room in the basement (no windows, but shower and toilet). It seemed clean enough. Room definitely needs renovating… the toilet door feel off… Recommend getting a standard room, not economy. They look nicer and you get the window! Staff are super friendly and the lady at reception booked a taxi for me and made sure the driver put the meter on, confirmed...

Great value for money located in a business area next to a coach drop off terminal so can be noisy at all times. The room was clean and ok. I would recommend paying a little more to be better located.

great hotel with a great crew and service

The staff were wonderful. They did everything to accommodate us and make us feel at home. The room was clean and warm. They went above and beyond and offered a great service. We will definitely be comijg back..

no wifi,strange smells,very small bathroom,big guys cannot squeeze in and out. however,the water pressure is good and hot enough. there's a microwave,but no cooking tools,making no sense.

The bathroom is in terrible condition

This hotel is surprisingly clean and pretty good for budget hotel. recommended.

I liked the wonderful and clean place, I recommend it to my relatives..

I liked everything. The room is spacious, cozy and clean. The location is excellent.

This is the second time we have booked this hotel. Not a bad location, the metro has recently opened. Quiet area surrounded by many shops. Internet works great. The cleanliness of the room and bathroom suffers greatly. This time it was clear that the doors and walls were being painted, but the cleaning left much to be desired. Although the bed sheets and towels are always clean and pleasant to use

The location is very convinent, you can access everything. There is a ticket seller after "KamilKoç" that sells plane and bus tickets, never ever ask them to buy a ticket, they are irresponsible for the wrong tickets they buy, and you have to pay for the compensation. But everything were fine, the guy was very kind, he helped us a lot. But, the rooms were a bit dusty, you can hear the noises outside...

Very comfortable hotel and very clean. The location it is great nearby the sea and you can find everything you want. The service was perfect and very good people and familiar. Thank you

Our stay here lasted for over a week and we felt right at home thanks to the smiley and helpful staff, the clean room, and the cozy atmosphere. If you are in Kadıköy and looking for a budget-friendly second home, Mood is the place to be :)

It was good. Clean. Friendly behavior of staff. But if you have heavy luggage, the distance to taksim square you should go higher

Very good and good location and good service and very nice staff

Excellent reception staff and very friendly with easy check . Rooms are spacious and clean with the usual amenities. Plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. Very comfortable stay yet again. I will be back next year.

Great location. And the room with tarace is just owo. Happy to get such great accommodations within a cheap price. Highly recommend. But it would be best if they had breakfast options. People would love to have breakfast with such a great view.

best of the best location, kind and very helpful staff. Clean rooms. We had a transit flight and spent some hours in istanbul in this small hotel apartment.

The hotel has an excellent location, spacious rooms, and generally friendly staff. I would recommend staying here. That said, I had a negative experience with Yakup at the front desk, who was unhelpful and uncooperative during his shift. Fortunately, the other two front desk staff and the housekeeping lady were fantastic, and they made my stay enjoyable. I would return mainly because of them. This...

The hotel was surprisingly good. It's a 20-25 minute drive from the airport, with a paid shuttle bus costing €70 per vehicle round trip. The more people, the more cost-effective it is. Breakfast is not included, but there is a 24-hour kitchen where you can enjoy seafood while admiring the sea view and listening to the sea breeze. The hotel is quiet and peaceful, perfect for a stop before a long trip...

A tight fit hotel, though reasonably pleasant right on the Black Sea. Small, cosy room and long'ish bathroom. Helpful reception, though oddly indifferent and unhelpful room staff. A bit of a step to the airport.

not bad, basic hotel near IST, across road from beach, good places to eat in Karaburun

Though brief, our stay was beautiful thanks to the expansive, beach view right outside our window. It was the ideal seaside getaway.

I booked this hotel because it is on the Black Sea, when we arrived, we were greeted by a very friendly person at the front desk. The food was fabulous, the breakfast was really good.

Great stay by the Black Sea Super friendly staff. They arranged our transfers and we didn’t have to move a finger. The food in the restaurant is tasty and fresh. We got a room with ocean view with a balcony. We would come back.

İts comfortable place for stay in one night

I had a wonderful stay at new Cherry Hotel, and the receptionist made all the difference! From the moment I arrived, [his/her/their] warm welcome and professionalism made me feel at home. AZAT was incredibly friendly, helpful, and always ready to assist with any request, whether it was providing local recommendations, arranging transportation, or ensuring my stay was comfortable. A big thank you...

In 5 days we changed 4 hotels, sometimes dirty linen, sometimes washed by the air conditioner so that you can't breathe. This is the only hotel that suited us on all counts. The main criteria for choosing were: proximity to attractions, the hotel is located in the historical center, we walked mostly. The second important thing was cleanliness. It is really clean here, they clean constantly. There is...

The position is amazing, you can reach most of the historical monuments in few minutes by walk. However, the best thing is the kindness, availability and the talks we had with Assat, the receptionist. He provided us so many suggestions on what to visit, what to eat in the surrounding area which have been extremely useful. Thank you assat and thank you the management of the new cherry hotel for having...

Budget option. Price quality. Good and helpful staff. At the reception, a smart guy Azat will help with transfers and tours. The room is cleaned every day, two nice girls. We stayed for five nights. Quiet and convenient location.

For the price, it was okay a bit noisy but bearable The staff was great and very helpful

I stayed at this hotel for 6 days mostly at the day time i was out for my appointments but might time i stayed at the hotel. The very good thing about hotel that the staff was really nice i never had any complaint from them... The boy at the night time helped me with my luggage when i came to hotel, i checked in around 5am when he was so sleepy but he still did everything without making any faces...

We booked hotel Miklagord but they placed us in a friendly hotel of theirs, Divas hotel which is right next to it. The location is perfect, you can visit all the significant sightseeings on foot. Near Cemberlitas tram station. The room was clean and the bathroom was recently renovated. We also had a balcony with a really nice view of a mosque and a seaview. The staff was very friendly and polite. I...

Definitely going back again ❤️

Economy room, very small and cramped. There was a kettle, but no glasses. There was hot water, the bed was clean, the towel was ok. On the ground floor, semi-basement. At the same time, it was quiet there, there was no noise from the street, I slept well. He'll do it for his own money.

Overall Experience: In summary, if your top priority is a prime location at practical cost and you plan to spend most of your time exploring the city, this hotel's central position might be worth considering. However, if you seek a more comfortable and upscale accommodation experience, you might want to explore other options in the vicinity. Suited for travelers who value location above all else.

Location: Undoubtedly, the strongest aspect of is its location. Nestled right in the heart of the city, it offers unparalleled convenience for exploring the area. Walking distance to Sultanahmet Square, Grand Bazaar, restaurants and metro. Room and Amenities: Basic, don't expect luxury. Service: Another highlight. Particularly Mr. Doaly he is professional, approachable and eager to assist with...

I recently stayed at Sirkeci Park Hotel and had a wonderful experience. The service was excellent, and the rooms were clean and comfortable. The Turkish breakfast was delightful, offering a wide variety of delicious options. What stood out the most was the exceptional hospitality of the hotel staff—they were friendly, professional, and always willing to help. I would especially like to thank Mr. Recep...

Sirkeci Train Station Hotel is centrally located, very close to Sultanahmet, Beyazıt, the Grand Bazaar, and Eminönü, and within walking distance of the sea.

Super nice owner The room was super nice, the hotel is close to everything. The staff was super nice and I got a free upgrade as he wanted us to have a bigger room because we had small children, so kind.

Good value hotel in the heart of Istanbul Fantastic location near Sirkeci station with all the main sights in walking distance, and excellent public transport connections. Hotel is ornate, bed was comfortable and staff were friendly. One or two bits of decor were fraying and there was some noise from the street/mosque. Hotel would also benefit from an elevator.

Istanbul trip If you can tolerate tram noise from 6am to 12am and street people from 7am to 3am then go ahead. The only good thing about this hotel is location nothing else. Room needs lots of upgrade see pics Wifi only works when you leave entrance door open. Washroom's was somehow installed in the middle of the room no proper privacy see picture all glass with almost see through blinds, shower...

The best Location with the best Staff you will have, they are very kind and providing the service. Wish you the best especially the owner, he was very helpful as i was with my family. The tram station Gulhan is only 5 min walk and sirkeci is one of the best/calm/beautifully places in istanbul. The rooms were a little bit small but it is suitable for a short stay.

The hotel has a great location, but other aspects are unsatisfactory. Bugs kept crawling in the room, and the hotel's interior was a mess. It was even worse than a farm stay in China!

Malkoç hotel is a very good hotel, it deserves its price, the rooms are as shown on the internet, the breakfast is very diverse and nice, the staff is friendly and hardworking, I definitely recommend it, it is 5 minutes from everywhere, I also recommended it to my friends, they will come.

It is close to shopping malls. Sometimes dinner is provided for a fee, but the breakfast is free and there is a lot of variety. The staff is very good, especially Mr. Fırat and Mr. Burhab were helpful. We definitely recommend it.

A hotel in a great location in the center of Laleli. The staff is very helpful, especially Mr. Fırat and Mr. Burhan were very interested. We were satisfied, the rooms were clean and nice. We received quality service according to the price. We were very pleased. We hope to see you again.

After renovation, clean, excellent cleaning, excellent breakfasts!

My sister and I vacationed here in May 2023. The hotel certainly wasn't what we're used to in Egypt or Turkish resorts. But it was clean, with daily cleaning and towel changes. The breakfasts were average, but we were full. There were soups and salads, eggs, cheese, olives, and vegetables. Simit bread and rolls, tea and coffee—what else could you want for breakfast? The T1 tram stop is nearby, which...

This is a great hotel; I always stay here for a few nights on business! Conveniently located, good breakfast!

It is a venue with a good location, right next to the tram station and in the bazaar area. The rooms are quite spacious, the reception staff are very nice, and the breakfast, in my opinion, could be a bit more up-to-date and fresher. However, the value for money is good.

Well, that's too much! Instead of hot chocolate, boiling water with a cockroach in the coffee machine. No sockets near the bed. The staff is friendly, but cleanliness...

Well i mean location wise its very good location around 8min to Grand bazzar,rooms for ourselves who are not picky were ok,they are bit old but good depends what you are looking for we use them only to slepover whole day we been out exploring Istanbul,so on that side we didnt had any issue,prices are affordable as well reception is good as well normal,polite

The hotel is well-located for exploring the old city. Clean rooms, professional staff, but no extra blanket in the room. Except no extra blanket, all is quite very good:)

Everything is fine, but the audibility is very high.

I stayed with my family in October 2025! The hotel is excellent! The food is good!! Everything is clean!! Beautiful!! The staff is friendly, and I especially want to mention the receptionist, Esra. She's very kind and helpful, and she helped with everything! A huge thank you to her.

A stunningly beautiful hotel in the shape of a fairytale castle, friendly and helpful staff, wonderful cuisine for every taste, and the highlight - amazing Turkish coffee and baklava

I didn't stay at this hotel but my friend needed a bit of help Mahmoud was an amazing person and very helpful and he spoke Turkish and Arabic

Very close to Kadikoy ferrys and to airport buses. Rooms are good, and the hotel is quiet. Moda neighborhood nearby.

We had a family vacation, we really liked the hotel, food, water parks, mini club with a varied program every day. Various shows, face painting, games for kids. I would especially like to mention the team of mini club animators Katerina, Liya, Irina, Kati, Masha and Alperen.

We vacationed with our family in June 2024. The hotel is superb, the food is simply excellent, and the rooms are large and spacious. The hotel itself is very beautiful, the staff is friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere is perfect for both adults and children. We especially loved the children's animation team; our child was thrilled! Thanks to all the animators: Katerina, Lia, Katya, Irina, Maria...
