Hotels in center in Istanbul

This is not a 5 star hotel it’s a good 4 star or an excellent 3 star hotel location was great. I’d prefer to stay at aksaray as it’s better to be near the locals. Even the staff were not fluent English spoken

I travelled from IST airport by HVL-1 bus and get off at Aksaray and walked to the hotel which took me about 14 mins, very convenient. There are many restaurants nearby and close to many attractions in walkable distance

Close to the grand bazaar so perfect for people visiting the blue mosque. Unfortunately at one point the area was closed off from cars entering at a crucial time for me

From here, it’s just a short walk to the Grand Bazaar, Sultanahmet, and several key transport links. The setting feels authentic and lively; ideal for guests who want proximity without sacrificing comfort

The location is a bit out of the way, not near the bustling Hagia Sophia or Istiklal Avenue. The main issue was that we arrived at 3 AM. During check-in, we confirmed with the front desk that we needed a smoking room

Every evening, the front desk would proactively call to ask if we needed any assistance or supplies, and when we requested more mineral water, housekeeping quickly delivered it

The only negative was a constant rumbling noise from an air vent in the room, but foam ear plugs took care of that - apart from this, the room was spacious enough and well equipped, with further amenities available on request

Great location near major historical attractions. Clean and comfortable rooms, friendly staff, and decent breakfast. A good choice for travelers who want to stay in the heart of Istanbul.

The staff are exceptionally kind, professional, and always ready to help with a smile. Their hospitality made me feel truly welcome. Special thanks to all the team for their great service and warm attitude

This hotel is extremely good value for money, and a convenient low-grade premium hotel to stay while in Istanbul

I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Istanbul!

Although our stay at the hotel itself was pleasant, this taxi experience has left us deeply disappointed and shaken. I hope the management will look into this matter seriously to prevent it from happening to other guests

Outstanding food at the Michelin star roof top Restaurant, the staff is also going above and beyond for a great service. Furthermore great location and views. Would come any time again.

Housekeeping' was thoroughly done each day and bottled water was provided daily. A special mention goes to Mehmed at the breakfast buffet as well as the staff in Archer

The breakfast was one of the best we’ve had in any hotel. There was a huge variety of fresh and cooked items beautifully presented in an area overlooking the Bosporus

The hotel facilities are good, but the road to the hotel is very congested, so it takes a bit of time

Great stay, clean and spacious Hotel. Recommended for next time. Only key point to note is the street infront of the hotel entrance is super busy. Could take you 15 mins to leave due to traffic jam after 5pm

EXASPERATING picturesque view from the rooftop restaurant. The rooms are a Spacious, although more furniture by the side of the bed would have made the rooms Exceptional. The staff are friendly and helpful

Very nice and clean location is very good breakfast is very delicious

Our stay at Sura Hagia was nothing short of amazing. The rooms were spotless, providing a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. The breakfast was a delightful highlight, offering a wonderful start to each day

The location is amazing as I have stayed here before, unfortunately no AC in the hotel and the room cleaning was not done to a high level, with the bathroom bin left on the toilet seat and no complimentary water left.

Although the rooms are a bit on the smaller side, which is expected in the Old Town, it's incredibly convenient for getting around since it's right next to all the main attractions, all within walking distance

We booked 3 rooms here for 8 nights and we had an amazing time! The staff went above and beyond to say the least. Yasin, Daminda, and the rest of the staff at breakfast were all amazing

Staffs are very friendly and helpful. Place are clean and expected like the photos. Breakfast selection is so so. The location is very convenient but in a very crowded busy street.

One of the best parts of the hotel was the spa and wellness center. After a busy day of exploring Istanbul, it was so nice to unwind in the sauna and enjoy a relaxing massage

I arrived very early and asked if I could check in. The receptionist checked and said that unfortunately my room wasn't ready yet. I should leave my suitcase at the reception and make myself comfortable

For the price and location better hotels near by. Service at reception wasn’t great arrived at 8pm and room was not ready when check in was at 2pm

**"Excellent Stay at Wyndham Istanbul Old City!"** I had an unforgettable experience staying at the Wyndham Istanbul Old City. From the moment I walked in, I felt the warm hospitality of the staff

Special thanks to the Guest Relations Manager for making our stay smooth and memorable We had a wonderful experience! The hotel is close to all main attractions and the spa was a great bonus

It offered a wide variety of both Turkish and international options, and everything was fresh and delicious. The restaurant staff was also very attentive and quick to refill drinks and food

Such professionalism and a constant desire to do well and to do even better. I sincerely hope to return soon. The room was better than expected, and the breakfast was incredibly varied and truly delicious

Out of all the hotels we stayed so far, I rate this hotel as the best with the views and room. Yildiz palace has a great view. Beautiful sunrise and the bosphorus view. Breakfast we felt was just okish

But the staff were really great. Hilal Murat was kind enough to gift us with homemade Jam. Also the staff at the reception Ecge , if I'm not wrong was very kind. The location is th best part

My thanks go to all the staff who were so attentive: the managers, all the staff at reception, room service, massage, restaurant, welcome. and I'm sure I'm forgetting some

The room's view? I'd rate it a zero. There's no view at all, the windows are tiny, and no light gets in because it looks out onto a dark wall.

Special mention for those who don't eat gluten or lactose – you'll find plenty of options to enjoy. Hope to see you again very soon!

So very helpful and with a smile, the waiter for breakfast was very helpful and very cheery, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there, The food is lovely in the restaurant up on 6 and the cafe down on the ground level fantastic food at good prices too

Amazing stay! The restaurant on the 6th floor was the highlight — delicious food, a stunning view of the mosque, and super friendly staff. Everyone was so kind and helpful, always ready to assist with anything

They assisted us with parking, carrying our luggage, making reservations, and even explaining how to get to the places we wanted to visit. Always with a genuine smile on their faces – something that’s very rare to find

We stayed in a deluxe room which was very spacious and comfortable. The weather outside was quite chilly, but the hotel’s ambience, warm hospitality, and delicious food made our stay perfect

The hotel is located in the heart of Istanbul’s Old City, right opposite a beautiful mosque with panoramic views. From the top floor, the scenery is truly breathtaking

As a big family who travels to Turkey every year, this year’s experience was completely different – and all thanks to them. We will definitely be coming back!

I had a great stay at DoubleTree by Hilton Istanbul Old Town. The location is perfect — right next to the tram stop and within walking distance to Hagia Sophia and Grand Bazaar

The room was excellent, clean and hygienic, with a small rooftop terrace offering a glimpse of the sea. The hotel's location is super convenient; right outside is the Istanbul University station for the T1 tram line

Staff were very friendly and welcoming with their signature warm cookie. The room was clean and comfortable, and breakfast had plenty of tasty options

The hotel is dimly lit overall. The service staff are all friendly. Location is fantastic as it's 3 tram stops away from the Blue Mosque

It can be a bit noisy if your room faces the street, but overall it’s an excellent hotel for exploring Istanbul’s old city

Excellent location with tram service right outside. Room was clean but lobby was a little dark.

The staff was wonderful, hotel lovely and centrally located, and the terrace restaurant offers a spectacular view. Rooms are small and not special, but clean and comfortable

Including the wonderful Turkish breakfast makes it good value

Perfect location for everything we walked everywhere as the main attractions and bazaars were within 5 mins walking. Palace etc, right were bazaars. The hotel was lovely, and breakfast had everything I liked and more

That said, the area felt very safe we walked out at 10pm as two women and felt completely comfortable. There’s even a police station right opposite the hotel! Overall, a great stay and I’d definitely recommend it

The staff were great, very friendly and helpful. The room great with amazing view. The bed mattress was the best. We used also the spa and it was refreshing. We had lunch once, which was average

The view from the top was amazing; you could see all across Istanbul. Our room was very clean, and we even had soothing music in the bathroom, which was a really nice touch

From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the charm and elegance of the building — it felt like stepping back in time, but with all the modern comforts you could ask for

The architecture and decor are stunning, full of rich details that tell the story of the hotel's past. Each corner seems to whisper a bit of history, making the entire stay feel incredibly special

The beds are super comfy with a combination of showers and baths depending on which room you book. Would highly recommend due to the staff’s friendliness and location

It truly reflects the hotel’s global spirit and commitment to inclusivity. The rooms were spacious, clean, and thoughtfully decorated to match the hotel’s heritage

I even met a wonderful staff member from Pakistan, who spoke fluent Urdu and English and went out of his way to ensure I felt welcome and comfortable

We recently stayed at the Legacy Ottoman during our 12 day Traveltalk tour of Turkey. The hotel is perfectly situated in the very heart of Istanbul

He came and gave us complimentary breakfasts and some wonderful cakes as we were in Istanbul to celebrate our birthday. Our surname is Burdock so we natural wanted to stay at a hotel of the same name

Great boutique hotel near Galata Tower. Much better staying here than in old town which is a huge tourist trap. Amazing pool and service from the staff. Wish I had more time to try the hamman

Great location and easy to get around by tram (T1). Nearby hotel, you can walk to several well known sites. Great breakfast selections and care for special dietary guests

As I am travelling in the summer, I was looking for good air conditioning and quiet rooms in Istanbul as I had seen some bad reviews with other hotels

Don’t buy the travelcard at the hotel (followed another traveller’s advice); you can just tap in using a credit card at most pub transport stations

Stayed for 2 nights, it's very close to Terminal 1. The room was clean, and having an elevator made going up and down very convenient.

It is a very comfortable and nice hotel. It is situated in a good place, near the metro station.

Great stay ,got a free room upgrade by ozgur who was great throughout our 8 days ,pool area could do with a make over and the second lift was out of order throughout the whole stay which at breakfast time was very frustrating as it never got to the 5th floor, but overall a great stay

The hotel is located a few minutes' walk from the metro, which is great! It's also within walking distance of the Suleymaniye Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and even the Eminonu Pier. The location is very convenient

The room was very small, absolutely tiny! Other downsides: there weren't even any bottles of water in the room; the minibar was empty; and the kettle was dirty!!! Someone from the previous guests had brewed coffee directly in the kettle

The breakfast is very diverse. The hotel staff are very helpful

And no one cleaned the kettle after the previous guests! Overall, the hotel is old. And sometimes you had to wait a really long time for the elevator. The breakfast is more or less okay, but it's the same every day

The staff were incredibly friendly, and we were delighted to receive a complimentary room upgrade—it made our stay extra special. A huge thank you to Ayan, who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome

He was caring, attentive, and always ready to help, from giving great local recommendations to checking in to ensure we were comfortable. His professionalism and warmth made our stay unforgettable

Great hotel with incredible service, especially Dalha at the front desk who was super attentive and helpful. Hotel is literally a 1 minute walk from the Hagia Sophia and the blue mosque

Our stay at Hotel Vogue in Istanbul was absolutely fantastic! The location is perfect for exploring the city, and the service was truly outstanding

Grand Bazaar 15 min walk, spice Bazaar 20 min walk and lots of restaurants around. Also nice very spacious rooms. Would 100% recommend the stay!

We highly recommend Hotel Vogue and can’t wait to return

The hotel spa experience wasn't as amazing as I had imagined; it was quite average. Perhaps my expectations were too high. The breakfast, however, was plentiful with many choices, and the location was very convenient

The location is fantastic, worthy of being called a peninsula. It faces the bay yet is incredibly quiet

The service was excellent, reflected in all the small details. We had a great stay.

The waitress serving our table seemed unwilling to acknowledge this. Aside from this and the slight inconvenience of getting a taxi right outside the hotel, everything else was excellent

The hotel is truly lucky to have him and his team. A manager from the housekeeping department, who appeared to be of Indian/Pakistani descent, also provided excellent service

However, we did encounter some issues at breakfast. The menu advertised freshly squeezed juices (pomegranate and orange), but they clearly weren't fresh

For instance, the entrance hallway was uncomfortably narrow with the room door opening inwards, there was a column positioned awkwardly in the middle of the sleeping area, and the ceiling featured a polygonal, multi-level design

Furthermore, the tile grout lines on the walls and floor were noticeably misaligned by about a centimeter, which looked incredibly sloppy and felt like an oversight. The window offered an unattractive view of a car park

Here are the pros of the hotel: The location is superb, with all major attractions within walking distance. Additionally, tram, metro, train, and ferry stops are all conveniently located within a 5-minute walk

It felt more like a communal soaking tub where people simply sit in the water. I also found it uninviting due to its murky water, so I opted not to use it. The interior design was poorly executed

Small details were missing, such as a toothbrush holder in the bathroom and sufficient space to hang and dry towels. There was only a single hook in the bathroom, which was inadequate

Stairwells and floor heights seemed mismatched, and massive support columns bisecting the panoramic windows consumed a significant portion (about a third) of our already small room

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 window while having breakfast

Great location, nice spacious room, breakfast had a lot of choices. I will stay there again.

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

Very clean room, the staff are very friendly and willing to help, the location is perfect, right beside the city center! Will definitely recommend friends to stay here!

Hotel staff were friendly & helpful. Great location to get around Istanbul. Hotel is very clean. Highly recommend

Nice hotel near to everything.. the only thing that annoyed me is the noise from the street

I’ll highly recommend who come to this country and choosing this hotel

The staff greeted us and said hello, but I didn’t feel very welcomed for a 5-star service. They could have been more helpful with directions and local tips, especially since we were female travelers

The hotel is in the Karaköy district, which is perfect for exploring Istanbul. It’s walkable to the T1 tram station, Galata Tower, and the art museum so location is definitely a highlight

The area also feels pretty safe, even for female travelers, which is a big plus. Our room was clean and had a spacious bathroom, which was nice. However, we were placed on the first floor, and the view was underwhelming

The location is excellent, less than ten minutes' walk to the two major mosques and one minute away from the popular terrace at Seven Hills. The hotel is the best choice in the old town. The service is a little lacking

The breakfast price is acceptable, but ordering is a bit of a struggle, especially for Chinese stomachs. We recommend adding a Chinese menu. The hotel's shampoo and conditioner are excellent

The hotel is in a very good location, and it takes no more than 5 minutes to walk to the main attractions in the old city, such as the Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Hagia Sophia, etc

The staff member I was dealing with kept changing their explanations, eventually flatly saying, "I've tried my best to resolve the issue, but you don't seem satisfied. Remember, I'm trying to help you

The two stars for service go to the other staff members; the night shift staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel itself is pleasant, and the rooms are immaculately clean

On a separate note, there's some renovation work happening across the street from the hotel entrance, which slightly detracts from the overall appearance

The 𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐟𝐟 𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐦, always going the extra mile to ensure an enjoyable and seamless experience. Their hospitality and willingness to assist with any request were truly commendable

My room had a faint smell of smoke. They changed my room. Nice breakfast. Close to the train. Many shops and attractions near by.

Positive sides are a nice room, clean bathroom, amenities and most of all the position between two metro stations. Basically it's about a 2-10 minute walk from each of them

If you're visiting Istanbul and looking for a top-tier hotel that combines comfort, elegance, and world-class service with affordable price, Hotel Amethyst is an absolute must-stay!🌟

The staff was friendly and they helped me with the luggage. Breakfast was very good, with a large choice of Turkish food

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐𝐄𝐱𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐚𝐭 𝐇𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐥 𝐀𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐲𝐬𝐭 – 𝐀 𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐭-𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐈𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐛𝐮𝐥! I had an 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 staying at 𝐇𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐥 𝐀𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐲𝐬𝐭! From the moment I arrived, the warm and professional reception team made me feel incredibly welcome

Small hotel right in the historical centre of Istanbul. From the window view of the sea, which is right across the street. Good food and friendly staff. There are all conditions for holding conferences

Good location nearby all famous attractions also rooms have a good sea view also breakfast was good

Location of the hotel was fantastic ,we can see the sea of Marmara and the Bosphorus from our hotel room. Hotel was clean ,room was spacious and the staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast was nice ,plenty of choice

We booked a sea-view room, and the views were absolutely stunning – we spent every day just gazing at the sea from our room! The breakfast spread was quite generous

The hotel is right by the sea, a great location, and it's also very close to a subway station. I booked well in advance, but I was only given a very small room.

The hotel was very comfortable. The sea view was beautiful, and the breakfast restaurant right by the sea was lovely. Our room was spacious and clean
