Istanbul's
tidy 3-star Hotel
İlkay, between Sirkeci
station and Sultanahmet,
is a good choice in terms of
location, facilities, service and
price.
Location: It's on
Hüdavendigâr Caddesi,
the continuation of Alemdar Caddesi
that connects Sultanahmet with Sirkeci and Eminönü (map),
at the corner of Dervişler Sokak. This
means you have easy access to the Bağcılar-Kabataş
tram, Sirkeci
station,
the Eminönü
ferry docks, the Egyptian
(Spice) Bazaar and Galata
Bridge, and
yet Sultanahmet is
only a 10-minute walk away. And if
you don't want to walk, you can ride
the tram.
Facilities: the 60
guest rooms at the Hotel
İlkay all have individual
heating and air-conditioning units,
so you can control your room temperature
as you like. Good beds, private bathrooms,
satellite television sets, hair dryers—the
rooms are comfortable, and reached
by an elevator/lift.
Service: There's
24-hour room service, free safe deposit
boxes for your valuables, non-smoking
rooms, free Wifi Internet connection
in the public areas, and helpful, well-trained
staff that really make you feel welcome.
BONUSES for TTP users:
if you make your reservation directly
with the hotel (click
here!), stay at least three
nights, and mention
TTP, you are entitled
to these valuable bonuses:
1. Free airport transfer (one-way)
from Atatürk
Airport to Sirkeci Konak.
2. 7% discount
on your room bill if you pay
in cash upon arrival. (Hotel
rates are quoted in euros, but you
may pay in euros, US dollars, GB
pounds, or Turkish liras.)
3. Family Card: ask
for it upon arrival. It entitles you
to a 10% discount at any of the Sirkeci
Group restaurants, all of
which are within walking distance from
the hotel.
4. Stay six nights, and your
seventh night is free.
The Hotel
İlkay,
like all hotels in the Sirkeci
Group, has
a good restaurant.
The Red
River Pub,
named after the famous John Wayne movie,
has a great atmosphere, a long drinks
list, bar snacks and light meals.
Besides the good value-for-money restaurants
of the Sirkeci
Group, the Ilkay
is near
the simple restaurants
near the Hocapaşa mosque.
Price: room rates
are lower in general for Sirkeci district
hotels because they are not (yet) as
well known as hotels in Cankurtaran or
along Divan
Yolu. Of course, you
get a full
buffet breakfast included
in the price of your room. Click
here for Hotel Ilkay's room rates.
The Hotel
İlkay is
a Sirkeci
Group hotel,
along with the Orient
Express Hotel,
Hotel
Erboy, Neorion
Hotel, and
the Sirkeci
Konak Hotel.
When you contact
the Hotel
İlkay,
please mention
TTP. Here's why.
