Some of the cheapest
beds in Istanbul are
in hostels and pensions in
the most convenient hotel
districts,
only a few minutes' walk from the Blue
Mosque, the Byzantine Hippodrome and
most of the city's top
sights.
Hostels may be very simple and spartan,
or they may have a variety
of accommodations from double-rooms-with-shower through
multi-bed dorm rooms sharing common
facilities to space on the roof where
you can roll out your sleeping bag.
Some hostels can be elaborate establishments
with bars, restaurants, travel
agencies and other services. Cheap doesn't necessarily
mean spartan.
Pensions and guesthouses have a more family atmosphere and even
more
variety in accommodations.
Some rooms may have their own plumbing,
others may not. Because rooms vary,
it's a good idea to look at several
if possible before choosing yours.
Hostelbookers is
the best place to check rates and availability:
The alternatives to hostels and pensions
are 1- and 2-star hotels. These tend
to follow standard hotel format, with
expected services: 2-person rooms with
private shower and toilet for a budget
price. But there are exceptions.
If your needs are simple and your
budget slim, here's where to stay:

But also great, inexpensive single-

bath, air-con, even TV. The rooftop
cafe-terrace has some of the finest
Bosphorus views in the neighborhood.

rooms with a bathroom for each room. More...
