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

The best attention with guest. The location is was the most Important for me because the hotel is located in the center of the old town. Iltam, Mert and Faruk were very kind. 😊

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.

Location: the best. Very near to tram station and attractions area Food choice: near to restaurant

The rooms were great! Though they were fairly small, they were very clean had good accessibility. The service here was also good, but it had some problems

The hotel is affordable and conveniently located within walking distance of popular tourist attractions such as the Hagia Sophia and the Grand Bazaar, among others. It is surrounded by many food stalls and cafes

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!

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.

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

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!

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

The room comprised of 2 single beds, and a separate room with a queen bed. The room was extremely clean and was stocked with all toiletries you would require. The AC and heating worked perfectly

It is a 3-minute walk from the Gulhane tram stop which is the T1 tram. This can take you all the way to Kabatas where you can connect to the funicular which takes you to Taksim square

Breakfast had limited options but everything was fresh and tasty. Room service menu also had good options and was very affordable

On my last visit to Istanbul I stayed at the Hilton Doubletree However, I would not hesitate to stay at Dosso Dossi again

It is located close to 2 tram stations so commuting to Dolmabahce Palace, Galata Tower and Taksim Square is very easy. Breakfast is amazing with 10 cheese variants and continental style. The front desk is very helpful

Very cooperative staff. 10 Marks for cleanliness. They even allowed me early check in.

Everything is fine, but the noise kept me awake a bit at night.

Excellent hotel near metro station, river embankment. Good service, polite staff, very delicious breakfasts, rooms are clean. Very recommend this one! :)

Dreamy view from the hotel window and nice staff

Excellent location, view and breakfast. Will book again.

The highlight? Their HD breakfast – it's a delightful way to start your day. Save yourself the hassle of searching for accommodation; Golden City Hotel is the best in the area!

Good location and excellent service

Great location near restaurants, tram stop and shops. All the main attractions (Grand Bazaar, Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque etc) are walking distance away

The restaurant/bar on the top floor has great views of the Bosphorus and the Sea of Marmara

It was convenient to have a fridge (but careful as things already in the fridge cost money if consumed) and the room was made daily. The breakfast was good as well as there were lots of options and generally good tasting

We also had an issue with ordering a taxi through the hotel, as they booked us a taxi to the wrong airport. It’s a good price but I would just make it very clear which airport you need to go to with the hotel

What we didn’t like so much: We were excited about the so called “spa” included, but I wouldn’t go so far as to call it a spa. It’s a freezing cold plunge pool, with a STINKY sauna and steam room

Overall: I would recommend to stay here for the cleanliness, and good location to shops, public transport and big attractions. The breakfast was also convenient and tasty!

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 hotel is very well located. Many beautiful places, such as the Grand Bazaar, were easily accessible on foot. The rooms were clean and tidy. The service was excellent and efficient, always friendly and accommodating

Awesome location, amazing staff. Great service, super helpful & accommodating. Buffet breakfast is yum, theres also a coffee shop downstairs and a rooftop restaurant - so convenient, would definitely stay here again.

Even unusual requests were handled without any problems. Hospitality is clearly a top priority

the only downside was the bidet in our room wasn't pointing the right direction and cant be adjusted, but others were still okay. overall we had a nice comfy stay at the Antik Hotel Istanbul

Rooms are clean and in a good state. + Good view on the rooftop cafe + Service is good and people are really friendly - Walls are a bit thin and you could hear neighbors sound really easy

this hotel is strategically located, easy access to public transportation and the grand bazaar is within a walkable distance. we had a lovely breakfast with a nice view and good food

On the positive side: we checked in early, around 12. Marmaray station, trams, and riverboats are nearby. The spa is fairly clean, but it's crowded. The excellent view from the window is the most memorable plus

Cons: The room is a bit cramped for three people; you can hear the neighbors and the street very well, not from the other side of the wall, but from the hallway. Breakfast isn't very varied, but it's tasty

Beautiful experience in hotel's spa :) Don't leave Istanbul without visiting their Hammam. Beautiful people who gives professional and very friendly service. We tried massage also which was incredible

From the moment we arrived, the serene atmosphere and luxurious setting immediately put us at ease. We were welcomed with warmth and professionalism, making us feel pampered from the very start

My husband and I had the absolute pleasure of visiting the Askoc Hotel's spa in Turkey Istanbul, and I can honestly say it was one of the best experiences we've ever had

Whether you’re looking to unwind or treat yourself to something special, Askoc Hotel’s spa offers the perfect escape. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

Great hotel, very clean in the city center of Istanbul. Friendly staff.

- Very good location, which is near lots of the main attractions and near Hagia Sofia mosque, bazaars (both). - clean hotel, lovely staff - room was very spacious and good breakfast

- would definitely recommend to anyone who is new to visiting Istanbul

first impressions were not the best, it’s not a 4 star hotel and breakfast was terrible, I would take crossiants and bread they have baguettes for breakfast, and teabags, however the staff are very friendly that’s what made our stay pleasant and amazing, they were helpful and always willing to help from the moment you walk in to the hotel, special thanks to Shah who looked after us and other staff...

Location was perfect, About 8 minutes away from Blu mosque and grand bazar, there’s quite a few places to eat our favourite place for breakfast was MIVAN, down the hill from the hotel and Ortaklor restaurant up the hill from the hotel definitely would recommend and also T cafe on the way to grand bazaar, would definitely stay in the Fatih location again!

Overall, the hotel is tired, if you want to get a good night's sleep, you need rooms starting from 09 and on, since the rest will be closer to the hookah bar, which is open until 2 am with music
