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.
