Meyzi Hotel ★★★
Experience effortless airport transit with our dedicated 24-hour shuttle service, located just minutes from Istanbul Airport for a seamless and stress-free travel connection.
Edition Old City Hotel ★★★★
"A good hotel, conveniently located. From the airport, you can take a bus to Sultanahmet and walk a short distance, and the same goes for the return trip from the same stop. All the main attractions are within walking distance, and the T1 tram line has a very convenient route. Near the hotel, there are many shops, cafes, and currency exchange offices with good rates. The staff were all friendly. Unfortunately, our English isn't great, but they patiently explained everything to us. The room was small but cozy, clean, and had all the amenities. The breakfasts were delicious and satisfying. Overall, this was our first trip to Istanbul, and we spent a long time choosing a hotel. In the end, everything went great, and we were very happy with our stay. I hope we can come back again!"
DNZ Taksim Feridiye Hotel ★★★
"Very close to the metro station and transportation options, cafes and markets are very close, and the staff are very friendly."
Gardenmode Airport Hotel ★★★
"Bedroom is too Small difficulty walk corner to corner in bedroom. In shower don’t door close open and water difficulty controls water shower. Breakfast is limit few choice breakfasts"
Santa Sophia Hotel - İstanbul ★★★
"The hotel near the sea and have very nice view"
Akka Suites Taksim-Special Class ★★★
"The hotel is truly within walking distance of the metro, about 6 minutes, and the popular Istiklal Street is just 3 minutes away. The hotel is very clean, and the breakfasts have everything you need for both kids and adults. The staff is helpful with any questions. It's not noisy in the hotel, and there's an excellent bar, Yuri Gagarin, just a minute away with very low prices for beer and food. I recommend it to everyone."
La Fortuna Hotel Taksim
"Right from the start, we were scammed and moved to a different hotel down the street. It looked nothing like the photos: Spartan conditions in what felt more like a hostel. First, they said the main hotel was under renovation. Then, it turned out all the rooms were occupied. Basically, they overbooked. Anyone who didn't fit got sent to their 'friends' down the street. But it wasn't a hotel, just a poor imitation. We asked to stay in the room we originally booked (which they didn't even show us), but were told it was impossible to check in there – supposedly plaster would fall from the ceiling at night. However, the price was good, can't argue with that. And the location was very close to Istiklal. Though, we later found out this part of the city is considered very high in crime. Lucky for us, there were no consequences. So, think 100 times before you decide if you want to stay here."
Denizli Hotel
"Everything was great. The hotel was clean, everything was new, and the breakfast buffet was delicious. We checked in without any problems, even though we arrived late and the booking number in the app didn't match the number the hotel manager had. They did have a reservation, so there must have been an issue with the app. The managers were polite and friendly, and they spoke English and Russian. The hotel's location is ideal—close to the center but quiet, with all forms of transportation nearby, making it easy to get to all the sights."
Hampton by Hilton Istanbul Old City ★★★★
"The hotel staff were excellent; they helped with luggage during check-in and check-out, even putting it in the car, which was really helpful for a woman traveling alone. They were also very polite. However, I felt the hotel's cleaning wasn't thorough. There was dust on the telephone that hadn't been wiped, and there were still hairs on the bathroom counter. I hope the hotel can improve its hygiene standards. The breakfast was very good and had a wide variety. Overall, it was still a decent stay."

InterContinental Istanbul
"This is a superb hotel. We were given a room on the 18th floor with a wonderful view, partially overlooking the Bosphorus. The room was well-equipped with everything we needed: bathrobes, an ironing board and iron, a capsule coffee machine, and convenient refillable dispensers for shampoo, shower gel, conditioner, and lotion. Housekeeping cleaned every day, but at random times. We received one liter of water per person, and more was available at breakfast. Water was also provided in the sauna, or you could simply ask for it. The breakfasts were excellent. They offered red fish, blue cheese, a variety of freshly squeezed juices, fruits, and poached eggs. For the first time in Turkey, I found delicious cold cuts and a system for ordering omelets without waiting in line – a waiter would bring it to you, along with drinks. There were also yogurts, muesli, and pastries. The hotel has an excellent pool with comfortable sun loungers featuring thick mattresses and pillows. Staff would lay out towels and bring umbrellas. Nearby, there was a sauna and a hammam. There's a bar, but the prices are quite steep. The location is also excellent. There are plenty of places to eat around, a metro station, and bus stops. The Havaist airport shuttle stops across the street, and Taksim Square is nearby. I loved absolutely everything about this hotel. If I'm ever in Istanbul again, I will definitely return."

Akka Hotels Lush
"I recently stayed at AKKA Hotels Lush Taksim in Istanbul and had a generally positive experience. The location is outstanding—just steps away from Taksim Square and lively Istiklal Street, making it incredibly convenient for exploring, dining, and shopping  . The staff were among the standout features—friendly, attentive, and eager to help. One reviewer even mentioned feeling as though they were staying with relatives thanks to the warm hospitality  . Many guests also praised the cleanliness and comfort of the rooms, as well as the delicious breakfast buffet  . However, there were some minor drawbacks. A few guests experienced noise at night from nearby streets and bars—especially in rooms facing busy areas—so requesting a quiet room in advance could help  . Additionally, not all stays were flawless—one guest noted temporary issues with reception friendliness and room setup, although others praised the opposite"
Grand Durmaz Hotel
"A wonderful hotel with a great location and service. Everything is within walking distance. Tram 1 runs to sightseeing spots, located 10-15 meters from the hotel. We often walked to Sultanahmet, which was easy. A stroll along the avenue from the hotel was very pleasant. Our standard room was cleaned and towels were changed daily. Tea, coffee, and a kettle were replenished. Breakfasts were full and delicious, and there was a starter. Cafes aren't cheap for us in Istanbul, so we tried to have a hearty breakfast. The staff, both at reception and in the room, were very friendly. The reality exceeded all expectations, as we travel a lot and have seen many different accommodation options. I am grateful to the hotel for a wonderful vacation."
Grand Marcello Hotel & Spa
"We were there for two nights and everything was great. The staff was very kind. The breakfast was really nice. The people are very friendly and it's a great atmosphere. The cleanliness made me want to go there even more.I recommend it with all my pleasure."
