Istanbul's Cankurtaran district, just down the hill to the southeast from the Blue Mosque and the Hippodrome (map), has all sorts of hotels, from Ottoman-style inns, backpackers' hostels and small modern hotels.

Cankurtaran (JAHN-koor-tah-rahn, "life-saver") is a popular tourist district, with many sidewalk restaurants and cafes, shops, boutiques and travel agencies. Most of its hotels are only a five- or ten-minute walk from the Hippodrome up a gradual hill.

If you already have the name of a hotel and want to know more about it, see my Istanbul Hotel Index.

Apricot Hotel
Among my favorites in this price range, with good location, good services and comforts, and great value for money. More...

Sari 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 Aga Caddesi (No. 42) only a few minutes' walk from Sultanahmet. More...

Terrace Guesthouse
Only 7 simple, cheerful rooms, views from some, good location on Kutlugün Sokak, great views from the rooftop breakfast room and terrace. More...

Mavi Guesthouse
Cheapest of all, the narrow blue building at Kutlugün Sokak 3 looks right out at the posh Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul.

The district includes the streets named Adliye Sokak, Akbiyik Caddesi, Amiral Tafdil Sokak, Bayram Firini Sokak, Ishak Pasa Caddesi, Kutlugün Sokak, Mimar Mehmet Aga Caddesi, Terbiyik Çikmazi, Yeni Saraçhane Sokak, and several smaller streets.

You can take a look at your hotel's location using my Sultanahmet Street Guide.
