Wander through the Grand Bazaar, haggling for carpets and sipping Turkish coffee with friendly shopkeepers. Marvel at the soaring domes of Hagia Sophia before cruising the Bosphorus past Ottoman palaces.
Kadıköy is the area to stay, if you like to eat and drink well on a reasonable budget. Loved catching the ferries to the tourist sights in the day to the other parts of the city. The M4 Metro runs direct to the Gökßen Airport (SAW) for € 0.50 each!

Good place for families. Lots of police presence, so felt safe. All main mosques and museums within easy walking distance. Plenty of dining options and shops around, all open till very late night. The trams are very frequent and run till late night.

Istanbul is a fantastic city. This is our 6th visit and still find new interesting places each time. The prices are far better on the Asian side , Kadikoy area as most tourists stay on European side To cross the Bosphorus costs 20tl(less than 50p )

You may need an online Turkish to English translator always on hand to avoid miscommunication (probably should get a Turkish SIM-card w/ Internet access). Learn how to use and refill Istanbul Card before your arrival (watch some videos on Youtube)

It's such a unique place to be in. So much to see and do. Public transport is the way to travel, by far the easiest and cheapest. Forget Bosphorous tours, use the public ferry! Each area is different so it's great to be exploring. Very busy though!

If you like cities, Istanbul is fascinating. It is not quiet though! Apart from the major attractions, many within walking distance, we enjoyed a Bosphorus cruise and a visit to the amazing Museum of Innocence with insight into more recent history.

We had a fantastic stay and would thoroughly recommend the Istanbul travel card which we used on the tram system and ferries. Turkish people were so friendly and willing to help. Information volunteers and tourist police everywhere to help also.

My first visit to Istanbul was a very positive surprise. A modern European city full of well maintained and preserved ancient sites. Easy to navigate...a great tourist city. I was there two full days, and could easily have spent a couple more.

Safe, friendly and so much to see! Lots of walking and hills wherever you go. Consider staying a few nights in Sultanhamet area, then move to a different section of town for a completely different experience. Like visiting several cities in one!

Istanbul is a city that has so much history to offer. Other than the many must go places, even roaming aimlessly in it was a treat. You simply would run into places you unexpected sights that were interesting. At least that's my experience.
"This was my first time in Turkey and we stayed about 9 days. I was very pleasantly surprised to find this hotel so close to everything. We walked almost everywhere: Hagia Sophia, Blue Dome Mosque, Basilica (which were 20 feet from the hotel), Grand Bazaar, and close by to restaurants that you did not have to use or pay for any transportation. (Avoid taxis at ALL costs, if you can). It is better to find one of the all day rental companies with the black vans and pay a set fee before you use the taxi. Also, the tram was cheap and quick. The staff were very nice at the hotel and the breakfast was very good. If you eat their breakfast, honestly, you won't need a lunch. They had such a good assortment of choices: soup, eggs, Turkish sausage, olives, yogurts, breads, fruit, veggies, and the CHEESES!!!! This hotel will pay for itself. The staff were helpful and all spoke English on some level. The hotel is not modern, but Istanbul is an old city. It was charming to stay at and the windows facing the street would open to let us get a cool breeze which I appreciated very much. The other room we got had a Juliette balcony which was an A+! The hotel provided us with a very user friendly map at check-in and it saved us so much time and helped us choose the places to visit. I read the posts from some of the other experiences after I made the reservation, but before we stayed here. I really can genuinely recommend this hotel for you and your family. Safe Travels."
"A beautiful hotel in a perfect location to enjoy Stan Buells old city. Extremely convenient to the major sites and the bizarre with a remarkably friendly and helpful staff. Special thank you to Fatima for her kindness and over the top generosity."
"The hotel is ideally located by the seaside, within walking distance of major attractions in Istanbul. Breakfast is included, and despite being complimentary, the variety and taste are excellent. All the staff greet guests with smiles and courtesy. After being disappointed with the service in Antalya, I was truly healed in Istanbul thanks to this hotel."
