Where to stay in Istanbul

Istanbul Hotels

Hotels in Istanbul cover the full range of lodgings, from luxury palace hotels through charming, historical, boutiques.
Simple but clean and cheap pensions and hostels, and even rental villas and flats/ apartments.

If you are traveler or a tourist, best place to stay in old city (Sultanahmet.) Taksim is another nice option to stay during your Istanbul tarvel. If you are going to Istanbul for business we reccomend for you to stay at Taksim, Besiktas, Maslak or Sisli districts. These places are more closer to trade centers.

It s a common question - Should I book my hotel in advance?
We absolutely reccomend book your hotel room in advance. Istanbul is already a very bussy destination in europe and day by day getting more crowded. Especially easter holidays, (March April May) Formula one race, weekends and special days are getting much more bussy than other times. In these periods prices are getting almost double. High season for Istanbul April-May and August-September and october. So reserve your hotel at least the first night or two of your stay in Istanbul. First day you arrive in Istanbul will be confusing and time will not enough to check some nice hotels.

They have already experienced about transportation in Turkey and you ll suggested about places according your wish. You can get free information about your travel from travel agencies in Istanbul.
