Where to stay

Pick a neighbourhood first, then compare hotels.

1

Sultanahmet

Walk to the main monuments. Quiet in the evening.
2

Galata & Karaköy

Cafes, galleries and views, a tram ride from the old city.
3

Beyoğlu & Taksim

Restaurants, shopping and nightlife along İstiklal Street.
4

Kadıköy

The Asian side: markets, food and a local feel, by ferry.

Before you book

  • Airports Istanbul Airport (IST), Sabiha Gökçen (SAW)
  • Getting around Tram, metro and ferries with an Istanbulkart
  • Best months April, May, September, October
  • Check the cancellation deadline before you pay. Many cheaper rates cannot be refunded.
  • Look at the map, not only the photos. A cheaper room far from the sights can cost more in time and transport.
  • In high season the best-located hotels fill first, so book earlier for those months.

Getting there

Airport transfer (IST and SAW)

Both airports are far from the hotel districts. We run private transfers ourselves at a fixed price, and airport buses and the metro are the budget options.
