4 star hotels in Istanbul

Thanks for everything i will come again

Super nice hotel, but the cleanliness leaves something to be desired. I've been here before, but everything was fine in the larger room. The location is okay. The bed is comfortable. The shower is a bit dated, but otherwise nice.

I didn't like the room - located above cafe where music was playing all night! The view from the window is no so good! There's a smell of smoking in the hallway!

Nice Hôtel amazing team and perfect location

The breakfast was not as good as 5 stars. The receptionist was efficient but too hasty in explaining. They accommodated me anyway by changing the room. In any case I recommend it.

The location is abt ＜5mins walk to the supermarket, abt 15mins walk to the train station and shopping area. They can work on their cleanliness even more cos the moment I step in, I can feel the room is quite dusty. The staff are friendly and helpful. The only thing that I’m not pleased with is when I put no cleaning button, the next moment I return, I saw my room is cleaned up. I hope they can work...

Everything was great. Clean, friendly. We didn't encounter any problems, thank you.

A great experience with an amazing breakfast. I have stayed at this hotel twice and both times I had an amazing experience. Respectful treatment.

Well situated near centre of Atashir. Good sized room, comfortable double bed, small refrigerator in room. Good value for money.

The room was smaller. Other than that everything was neat and clean. Staff was friendly. I like the hotel 👍

Very happy about my stay room very clean staff very sweet thank you ❣🌹

Amazing price, exactly as advertised. Friendly staff and restaurants are near by.

SNice hotel which is close to the old city. Very nice breakfast.

Stay was ok but we didn't get the rooms we wanted. We also had a leaking shower hose that got fixed. The room walls were very thin as we had to endure a noisy neighbour who spoke very loudly up till past 10pm.

Convenient location: near the tram line, then you can go by tram to many sites and to the ferry terminals. Although centrally located, it is not on a main road, tucked away in a side street, so it is quiet. Staff are super friendly and helpful. Breakfast is great with lots of fruits and the breakfast room is very bright. You can sit at a window seat to watch the cats in the little park outside the...

Hotel was abit small and dated. That said, it was clean and we had a comfortable rest.

Good location and peace full place

The atmosphere was very pleasant. The location was excellent, right in front of the sea and next to a bus station. Breakfast offered plentiful and varied options, and the staff were very kind and polite.

Excellent and fast service! Very kind front desk staff, social shoutout to Huseyin for his help and kind personality. As well Beytullah for always being quick and efficient! Would recommend staying here as it is close to landmarks as well.

Didnt like housekeeping banging on the door at 8:40 to service the room. Please invest in some do not disturb signs

We were there for 4 nights. I think everything was good about this hotel, like staffs, breakfast, cleaning AND location.

My mom and i every year come to this hotel,our room have a fantastic view to sea,it has a perfect breakfast,we never lost anything in this hotel,the stuff are kind and helpful,specially the manager mr ebrahim,which is very gentleman,and we really thankfull of him this time,he gives us very good discount because of some problems about our contry,we feel home here and everytime we choose this hotel.the...

Actually it's 3 star hotel, rooms smell cigarette and no service in the room, you should pay for water and ice, it's 50 minutes walk to taksim square and 20 minutes to istiklal road

It’s good location and lots to see

Love how it located strategically in the heart of istanbul. It takes 5 minutes walk to hagia sophia and blue mosque. Love the staff because they are very friendly and gives you a warm welcome too! Love this hotel!

Everything was perfect excluding transport non availability

Wonderful experience in many ways. It was quiet and comfortable and all staff were friendly and reliable. I definitely would like to come back again. Small concern is if you take a shuttle bus from the airport, a taxi cannot stop in front of the door so better to ask the reception for advice.

My friend and I stayed at this hotel in the old area of the city in Istanbul from Oct. 18th to Oct. 24th, 2025 and it was in an excellent location. It's near to the Aya Sofya and the Topkapi palace. This is a beautiful hotel as well. There is also a really nice restaurant on the premises called Matbah. The service was excellent and the staff was very attentive and helpful. Sevgi and Simge at the breakfast...

This was our first trip to Istanbul. We were not familiar with the city or the layout of the historic district. Many streets are pedestrian only. We were dropped off then had to walk with our luggage up the cobblestone streets to get there. I recommend calling the hotel when dropped off. They have a vehicle that can transport from the taxi drop-off directly to the hotel. The hotel is close to...

Really good hotel location with all the amenities needed. Also close to so many shops!

Atmosphere: The rooftop restaurant is excellent, offering expansive views. The hotel's location is also superb.

The hotel's location is excellent, very close to all the main attractions, most of which are within a ten-minute walk. The hotel restaurant offers a view of the Blue Mosque 🕌, as shown in the picture below. The front desk staff are also very friendly and helpful; they'll assist with luggage to your room. You can check in early and store your luggage for free. The room balcony is huge! My only minor...

a neat and simple lodging in old down town Istanbul. stay in the same community with many sightseeing spots like the square and the mosques, the palace etc. so it's very convenient for tourists especially in a crowded city like Istanbul. the roof restaurant stunning for breakfast with a topview over the sea of marmara and the golden horn river. staffs are very kind and helpful!

Everything was great. Location, breakfast, clean an bright room. Highly recommend.

Super hotel, super staff, everything is super – both the team and the general manager. The attention, care, home-like atmosphere, and coziness were all immediately provided. So many compliments! It's a pleasure to stay there. I RECOMMEND IT TO EVERYONE.

I made my choice based on the existing data,for example,it is written in the description that the parking is free and it is. I was surprised that there was a 12 euro fee per day

locations is good room is good size Service is good cleaner is amazing

Absolutely! Here’s a detailed 5-star review for Occidental Taksim Hotel with more than 300 words. A Truly Exceptional Stay at Occidental Taksim From the moment I stepped into the lobby of Occidental Taksim, I knew I was in for a memorable stay. The hotel blends a modern, stylish aesthetic with Turkish hospitality in a way that feels both luxurious and welcoming. The reception team greeted me with...

Hello Everybody; I am writing a note to say thank you for the following staff of this hotel : Mr. Nihad - restaurant supervisor Mr. Fourqan - Restaurant Staff Ms. Sema - Restaurant Staff. The restaurant's chef - I couldn't get his name .. I do a lot of meetings in hotel, in different hotels in Turkey . No staff is greater than Occidental & Barcelo hotels ( sister hotel ) . I highly admire Mr. Furqan...

We(Me&my wife ) choose this hotel for 35th Wedding anniversary celebration and My Little boy sent an email to the hotel manager before checking in. The room we booked was standard but after one night They kindly changed our room to superior room at 9th floor . We had a wonderful stay at this hotel for 5 Days, and one of the standout aspects was the cleanliness. The rooms were spotless and well...

Occidential Great for room upgrade, Junior Suite is large. Good services & breakfast. Good location near Taksim. However, (a) shower box floor tiles are very slippery when wet (in comparison to other hotels) and (b) most of electrical outlets used for lamps, must take out lamp male plugs (to stay in dark) to charge mobile phones and iPads.

When I checked in, I was told that a nice room was ready for me, and when I went to the room, it was a really lovely room with views of the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and the Bosphorus.

The hotel staff were very kind and it was a truly wonderful stay. The breakfast was delicious and had a wide variety of options, and the location was excellent.

The hotel is perfectly located in Istanbul's tourist center, a 5-10 minute walk from the Grand Bazaar, the Royal Palace, the Egyptian Market, and the Grand Bazaar. The rooftop restaurant offers a rich breakfast. It's quiet at night. The bed is very comfortable. Rooms are cleaned daily.

The location is great. But take into account that windows in all rooms are facing the street and it will be quite loud. The dust is on the head of the bed, on chairs (the room must have been cleaned long before check in)

Good hotel. This is not my first time traveling to Istanbul and I have a comparison. The hotel has a great location. Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque are a five-minute walk away. The view from the restaurant is magnificent. Very attentive and friendly staff. Always ready to help and answer all requests. Upon arrival, we were expected and quickly accommodated. The rooms are compact, but quite cozy....

We stayed for three nights. It was very close to the famous ruins of the old town, and the staff were very friendly. Mehmet, the breakfast restaurant staff, and Ege, the front desk staff, were especially wonderful.

Great location, friendly staff, good mattress, decent soundproofing. For the price, it's a steal.

I'd like to express my sincere gratitude to the hotel staff for a comfortable stay. We loved everything; the hotel is conveniently located, within walking distance of attractions and tram lines. I highly recommend this hotel.

A decent hotel for the price. Conveniently located, with many attractions within walking distance, a tram stop within easy reach, and the metro is relatively close. The bathroom needs some attention; if you're looking for impeccable repairs, it's not there. Cleaning was done every day. The staff was very friendly. Breakfast was average, with limited selection, but the view makes up for it – the panoramic...

The Yilsam Sultanahmet Hotel was excellent. Very centrally located and nice quiet neighborhood. The staff are all brilliant and very friendly, if your looking for somewhere in the old city this is a great option. Rooms were very clean, tidy and spacious.

Everything was good except for the air conditioner switch in the room not working properly.

Excellent hotel Blue mosque, Hagia Sofia & Topkapi palace 10 mins by walk. Great buffet. Highly recommended🎉🎉

The Hotel is really good and comfortable. The service also in a high degree. Rooms are clean and beautiful. Thanks to Sales Manager Kardelen who cares about us and the recepionist Said is also made a Good Service. I will recommend you for your Travel

Thanks to everyone in the hotel espellay to sales manager Miss.Kardelen and receptionist Mr.Said. The service and room is very good. Rooms are clean and breakfast also in a high quality. I am spending my time with my family here and I am satisfied from there. I will recommend you if you need a peace place for your travel with family

The Hotel was very good and the breakfast also delicious. it is second time I am coming to there with my Family. Really great Location. And Said and Kardelen are helped us they are the best receptionists that I have ever seen.

Hotel was very beautiful and stuff also good. Thanks to everyone in the hotel. Said and Kardelen were really helpful in every situation. I will recommend you for your visit to Istanbul

Thanks to everyone in the hotel especially to the Kardelen and Said and team of reception in the front desk. The hotel was really good and comfortable. I will recommend you if you want to travel to Istanbul

A good and relatively inexpensive hotel. A very important point: The hotel survived the Great Earthquake of 1999 and was subsequently reinforced. It's a low-rise building, built slightly into the rock on a hillside, making it ideal for anyone with a fear of earthquakes. Unfortunately, it's not quite centrally located, but it's easily accessible from Sabiha Gökcen Airport. The Marmaray train takes...

The hotel offers good service and the front desk were so nice and friendly. The location is good as well, near the pier and T1 train.

If you’re looking for a warm, boutique experience in the heart of Istanbul, Marius Hotel is a fantastic choice that prioritizes service and style. The Location The hotel is in a prime location, making it incredibly easy to navigate the city's historical landmarks. Whether you are heading out for a day of sightseeing or looking for a great local dinner, everything feels within easy reach. The Service...

I would like to thank you to the reception staff for your kind assistance and excellent service. It is greatly appreciated.

The hotel is conveniently located near most major attractions, with plenty of restaurants nearby, including local buffets that are both affordable and delicious. After a long day of sightseeing, you can easily return to the hotel to rest, have some coffee or tea, take a nap, and then head to the next attraction. Overall, staying at this hotel is a great experience!

The hotel is wonderful. It's very conveniently located, the rooms are clean, and they're cleaned daily. The staff at this hotel are 99% of the success. They're very helpful and friendly, and it feels like you're visiting friends. Thank you!

Super happy with everything! Best hotel and best staff. Will definitely stay there on every visit to Istanbul

The hotel is in a perfect central location, only a 7–8 minute walk from the metro station. Even though it’s situated in a bustling part of the city, the hotel manages to stay peaceful and quiet inside. The breakfast is exceptionally rich and provides a fantastic Turkish breakfast experience. Additionally, the staff are very friendly and helpful.

Lobby is beautiful, elevators efficient and the rooms were clean. Staff was great, especially Burak in the bar/restaurant. The pool is clean and modern.

Stayed for two weeks. Hotel is very good and very clean. The location was perfect for us. The staff are top notch and take their jobs seriously. Breakfast is really good with a lot of options and the breakfast service staff are efficient and attentive. Room service is pricy but good. Had a good experience staying at this hotel but the amount of cigarette smoke throughout the hotel, specifically in...

The lobby is luxurious & clean with friendly professional attentive reception, staff & prompt service. The rooms are very nice & comfortable with housekeeping daily. The free buffet breakfast is amazing served in a beautiful restaurant with local & international meals daily. Wait staff on hand to assist & maintain a professional clean experience.

This is my second stay at Mercure Istanbul and I would like to start by giving a warm thank you to the cleaning staff. You can really tell they work extremely hard. The rooms are spotless and the turnover service is excellent. The spa area is lovely and peaceful, providing a perfect place to relax. However, the pool area could use a bit of updating as it feels somewhat old and tired. The breakfast...

The location of the hotel was ***et nice. In addition, the breakfast was also very successful. The food was generally good. The meeting room was nice. Having an indoor parking lot is also an advantage.

Affordable price with a comfortable bed. Suitable for short stay

This hotel was old, dating back to the last century. Now it's a really gloomy place. Everything is literally falling apart. The breakfast was absolutely awful, I didn't even want to leave. It felt like they'd thrown together everything from the cheapest to the cheapest. The best thing about this hotel is the staff. They're very responsive, polite, and professional; they do a better job than the staff...

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel in Turkey. The location was perfect, close to major attractions and very convenient for exploring the city. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well maintained, with beautiful views.

Pros: The location is incredibly convenient. It's close to both the metro and trams, and the Suleymaniye Mosque is just a stone's throw away, with the waterfront right there too. Service – the staff here are excellent. We arrived at 2 AM, and before we even finished paying the taxi, our suitcases were already being helped into the hotel. Check-in was super fast, and they were helpful with advice wherever...

I loved the hotel! The staff was so polite and helpful! The rooms were nice. Daily cleaning and towel changes were provided. The breakfasts were excellent, with something for everyone. You definitely won't go hungry! And the location was fantastic.

The location is fantastic, and the breakfasts are delicious and filling. The rooms are small, but that's true everywhere in Fatih. The reception staff were friendly and kept our luggage for a while after checkout on the day of departure. There's a great baklava shop next to the hotel—small and unassuming, but the baklava is better than in expensive cafes. There's also a grocery store nearby with...

Very old. Needs renovation. No wifi in room. Old and dirty fridge

The best hotel in Istanbul Ali cheikho good service.

The hotel is clean and they worked in team, all workers are amazing 🤩 Amazing breakfast,I will definitely visit there again….🌟🌟🌟🌟

Very good place for holesale shopping .everything is affordable. But far away from taksim. Hotel is clean .very good breakfast. Fitness center and pool is under reconstruction so not available.

Very nice team and very good price for the quality

The location is ideal, close to Merter, the cleanliness is not bad, I recommend it for short-term accommodation.

Nice hotel , had an evenit on so was a bit noisy but otherwise good

The lobby is nice, and the breakfast is plentiful. The room is older, with average amenities and a subpar air conditioning. There's a sea view. Downstairs is a bit noisy. Dining and shopping are conveniently located nearby.

The hotel was ***et clean and convenient. No negative situation occurred ***et we were met with understanding.

Nice spacious rooms. The air conditioning wasn't quite up to American standards but it was adequate. Breakfast was fantastic! The staff is very helpful and friendly.

The rooms are big enough but unfortunately very old. To be honest, some of the furniture such as the toilet and wardrobe looked a bit outdated for a hotel claiming 5 star quality. Anyone who usually visits a 5-star hotel may be a little disappointed here. Otherwise the staff was very nice and helpful. They have extra services but, for example, I forgot my coat in the closet and called later. I got...

Hotel and staff: The interior of rooms look quite old, and the AC doesn't get very cold. The shower and fridge in the first room were broken, got moved to another room where that shower and fridge were also broken. The manager told me that I had to call before arriving at the hotel in a rude manner, when it wasn't stated on the app and nor did they contact me before hand to inform me. We also left...

The customer service is a horrible. The hotel is really nice. And the location is very nice.

It's centrally located, close to the metro, in a safe area. Breakfast is delicious, and they clean the room every day. The staff is very friendly. I'm grateful to Gulnara, Marina, and Kizhmet (with a rose tattoo on her neck). I recommend it to those who prioritize location, safety, and accessible transportation over comfort.

It was a very nice time in Istanbul. The hotel is located on the main street and is very noisy. I was able to sleep properly the first night. The breakfast room was on the 7th floor with a view.

Room is big and beds are comfortable, staffs are very helpful and polite. Big breakfast buffet to choose from. Hemam and Sauna and it’s staff are so nice and welcoming, overall good hotel within budgete travelers. I have stayed 4 nights there , they organised my tour to the sightseeing cruise and Aquarium.

The hotel is a bit rundown. Small and extremely slow elevator. We stayed few nights and it was very reasonably priced and the location was good.

Stayed at this hotel recently and it was a pleasant experience overall. The hotel is nice, with clean rooms and bathrooms, and the room size was great for a family stay. The location is a bit away from the main attractions, however, bus stops and train stations are just a 3–5 minute walk away, which makes getting around quite convenient. A very generous breakfast buffet was included in the price,...

The hotel is good and in a good location, lacks services and the breakfast is very basic and in a basement with no windows.

I stayed for three days at Mercure Bakırköy Hotel this month, and my experience was truly excellent. The staff demonstrated a high level of professionalism in communication, hospitality, responsiveness, and overall service. Everything provided during my stay was highly satisfactory and reflected great attention to detail and quality. I look forward to returning to this hotel in the future, as my stay...

We had a very good stay. The front desk staff were very helpful, and I want to thank Yusuf specifically for his help. Also the staff at the gym/pool both were fantastic, the had a very warm attitude and were very helpful. Also the beds were super comfortable. Only negative feedback is about the kitchen staff, who were not very helpful.

Clean hotel and reasonably priced. No major issues with my stay, but overall I would say it was slightly below Mercure brand's standard.

The room is very big and very convenient to travel everywhere! It is very convenient to take the subway, very close to the community, and very convenient for shopping and eating! ! I will continue to stay here when I travel with my family next time

I've stayed at other hotels in the area, and the quality is proportional to the price. It's clean, and I would stay there again.

Very nice hotel we will came one more time

Best of best trust me you will saw best service in this hotel receptin was amazing

Hotel is located in center of old town and in day time and holidays area is quite busy. But location is great 10 minutes from grand market and 10 minutes from blue mosque, also a lot of restaurants around.

Fabulous hotel with a great bar & restaurant in the heart of Istanbul. Central to all tourist attractions. Food and rooms were amazing. Staff were super helpful especially Veysel who organised our airport transfers and luggage storage. Will definitely stay again.

We stayed at Hotel Kate for two days and had a wonderful experience. The rooms were comfortable, clean, and well-designed. The staff were extremely kind and helpful which made our stay even more enjoyable. The breakfasts were delicious and offered a wide variety of options. During our stay, we also visited the hotel restaurant, where we were served by a very friendly waiter named Behruz. The food...

Great location, close to the center and attractions. On-site restaurant with a veranda, open until 2 a.m.

Good location, good service, clean and has a good restaurant

THE BREAKFAS WAS GOOD, SOME ITEMS LOOK FRESH BUT SOME ARE A LITLLE DRY OR OLD

Amazing location and staff. The staff were attentive, responsive and friendly and were one of the best from my experience in Turkey. The location is very convenient and few minutes walk to Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and tens mins to spice bazaar and has nice restaurants nearby. The rooms are small as to be expected at this location but very clean and modern inside. The only negative is that the breakfasts...

Staff was very friendly but the rooms were very small. I booked a triple room but the 3rd bed was more for an infant than a adult which made the stay very difficult. There was cigarette smell coming through the vents - the solution by the staff was to close the vent.

Excellent location, staff are super helpful and friendly. Great place to stay and walk to all the tourist sites. Outstanding value

Very good location, close to main sights, surrounded by great restaurants. Quiet at night. The rooms are small but comfortable.

Friendly helpful and kind staff, the room is clean and ventilated. Wifi ofc but no special ameneties. It's strong point is the location, it is great, near all notable areas like galata, taksim, fetih sultan ahmet ect.. and the karaköy pier if you want to visit the asian side, other notable public transportation options include the haliç station for M2. Plus this location gives you a feel of the busy...

Nice reception and excellent location, I really recommend this hotel.

Great service clean rooms great location

C9nvenient location and good value

stayed for 3 nights as a solo traveller. very comfy room no complaints

Great, we received a very warm welcome. The hotel is a 5-minute walk from the Galata Tower and close to public transport. The narrow streets are a little intimidating, but everything went very smoothly without any problems.
