Old
Istanbul's
4-star hotels: great location,
comfortable rooms, most useful services,
well-trained multi-lingual staff—and
character, too.
Although some of these hotels may
not have an official 4-star rating
from the Turkish Ministry of Tourism,
I rate them as having the comforts
and prices appropriate to 4-stars.
Hotel
Daphne ****
Beautiful views of the Sea
of Marmara not just from the roof terrace but from
many guest rooms, and even from the lobby. A quiet
street, helpful staff, modern rooms in a traditional
building. Good! More...
Bucoleon
Palace Hotel ****
All junior suites and the
rooftop terrace at this quietly
refined small hotel on a good untrafficked
street have views of the Sea
of Marmara. A few of the guest
rooms have views of the Blue
Mosque. Decor is
high-quality understated elegance, and
the standard of service by the staff
pleasingly high. Make
your reservation directly with the hotel,
tell them you've come from TurkeyTravelPlanner.com
and you'll receive a room rate
discount,
free airport transfer, complimentary fruit
basket, bottle of wine,
and
Turkish Delight. More...
Sarı
Konak Hotel ****
The only problem with this fine family-run inn is
getting a reservation. They're often fully booked
because they offer a warm family welcome, 4-star
comforts, moderate prices and an excellent quiet
location on Mimar
Mehmet Ağa Caddesi (No. 42) only a few minutes'
walk from Sultanahmet. More...
Dersaadet
Oteli ****
Lots of dark wood and bright smiles at this carefully
restored and maintained 17-room inn in a quiet location
with sweeping sea views from the rooftop terrace. More...
Orient
Express Hotel ****
An affordable hotel only a short walk
from Sultanahmet that
has a...swimming
pool? How is that possible?
Roof terrace with views of Topkapı
Palace and the Bosphorus?
And it really is right around the
corner from where the Orient
Express used
to arrive. More...
Blue
House Hotel (Mavi
Ev) ****
Among the best places to stay in Sultanahmet,
this family-run hotel right across from the Blue
Mosque has friendly, professional staff, spectacular
views from rooms and roof restaurant, and a supremely
convenient location on Dalbastı
Sokak (No.14) at Utangaç Sokak. More...
Hotel
Niles ****
On a relatively quiet back street in Beyazıt just
two short blocks from the tram stop,
this small, modern family-run hotel has all the conveniences
at value-for-money rates. More...
Ottoman Hotel Imperial ****
Literally right across the street from
Hagia Sophia, it is the most centrally-located
hotel in Old Istanbul, with a fine
restaurant as well. More...
Ottoman Hotel Park ****
Facing
leafy Kadırga Park, it's away from the
tourist crush in a real Istanbul
neighborhood—but not too far
away. More...
Hotel Aziyadé ****
Named for a romantic lover, here it's
easy to imagine yourself back in
Ottoman times, but with all modern
comforts, and advantageous prices. More...
