Sultanhan Hotel - Special Class

10/10 Excellent

"So the Hotel and the staff for excellent. The only advice I have to travel is going to Istanbul is to be able to access Google Maps on their cell phones. A lot of the iPhones that people use do not have a SIM card so therefore they cannot access a Google Maps while they’re walking around the city. They will have to go to a telephone store and actually have Internet connected to their cell phone so they could use the Google Maps. Otherwise, the whole stay at the hotel the staff and the room was really exceptional. Thank you."

The Ritz-Carlton, Istanbul

10/10 Excellent

"Everything and everyone was incredible at the hotel from the staff and amenities. The only problem with this hotel is the soccer stadium directly next to it. My cab couldn’t get through and dropped me off at the bottom of the hill and I had to walk which is fine only then the police wouldn’t let me pass on foot either. I walked around the back side and was lumped into a massive crowed of rabid soccer fans. Reaching the other side of the stadium I again was told no I couldn’t pass and had to beg the police to let me pass and they escorted to the back entrance. Just take a look at whoever plays at this stadium before booking. Also the game went late and you could hear the screaming for hours. This issue isn’t with the hotel or the staff because again they were all remarkable"

Conrad Istanbul Bosphorus

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Istanbul

Book for the cheapest times: Visiting Istanbul on a budget is a brilliant idea, particularly from January to March when hotel prices may drop to lower levels than usual. For those keen to explore the city’s rich heritage, a stay of at least 3 to 4 days is recommended, offering great value for money while discovering an array of historical landmarks, cathedrals, museums, churches, monuments, castles, shopping districts, architectural marvels, cosy cafes and delightful dining experiences. This affordable period not only ensures lower prices but also allows visitors to immerse themselves in the captivating culture, history, and architectural splendour of Istanbul.
Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: Hotels.com offers various opportunities to save when booking your trip to Istanbul.

Be flexible with dates: Prices may vary depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and season, so being flexible with your dates could help you save on your stay in an Istanbul hotel. For travellers seeking a unique experience, boutique hotels might offer a more personalised atmosphere and potentially better value.
