Top Topkapi Palace Hotel Reviews

Swissotel The Bosphorus Istanbul

10/10 Excellent

"Best hotel overall in Istanbul"

GLK PREMIER Acropol Suites & Spa - Special Class

10/10 Excellent

"Well the hotel was good & clean the staff was very good & was very helpful."

Hotel Arcadia Blue Istanbul

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is in the centre of Sultanahmet and very close to the blue mosque."

Recital Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Helpful and friendly staff, great location, and breakfast included! Stayed here for 4 evenings and we enjoyed our time. Friendly and flexible front desk that coordinated our hotel transfer, so one less thing to worry about when visiting an unfamiliar place for the first time. Cleaning staff was cheerful and helpful. Breakfast was included and you get a European style breakfast with a slight Turkish twist. Good way to start off the day! Location was very walkable to the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque and other sights. Lots of dining options within 1 to 5 min walk. Felt safe walking around, even at night in the area. I would definitely consider staying here again!"

Hotel Saba Sultan

10/10 Excellent

"Convenient location the best actually. Staff especially Omar is awesome. Very informative"

Sura Hagia Sophia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfast was amazing. The rooms were ok and did not give a feeling of a 5 star hotel. But definitely worth choosing it. The staff helped us in boarding our taxi. The staff always approached us to ask if we need anything else. The spa/massage facility was charging us 20% more if we pay by card. We did not have cash then so we skipped it."

GLK PREMIER Sea Mansion Suites & Spa - Special Class

10/10 Excellent

"This was my first time staying at GLK Hotel in Istanbul, and we had a wonderful experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, especially Salah at the front desk, who went out of his way to make us feel welcomed on our first arrival. The hotel is in a fantastic location, situated in a quieter part of Istanbul’s Old City. The Blue Mosque is within walking distance, along with many of the other key tourist attractions, making it very convenient for exploring the city. We booked a sea-view room, which was absolutely lovely. The room was comfortable, clean, and had all the facilities we needed for our stay. We also included breakfast with our booking and really enjoyed the delicious Turkish breakfast each morning. During our stay, we also used the hotel’s hamam for a private booking. It was clean, relaxing, and a lovely experience. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend GLK Hotel. We would happily stay here again on our next visit to Istanbul!"

Armada Istanbul Old City Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The Amarda is a traditional hotel. I had a Junior Suite and it was great. The jewel in the crown has to be the rooftop terrace restaurant. The Blue Mosque forms a huge backdrop and it quite spectacular when it is lit up at night. The food was lovely. The hotel serves alcohol but as with all of Turkey, it is relatively expensive. The hotel is close to the water's edge and so that was nice too. The hotel is quite, but close to the main road and so taxi's are easy to get. It is about a fifteen minute stroll up a gentle incline to get to Sultanhamet Square, where most of the tours set off from. The benefit, I suppose, is that it is a fifteen minute downhill stroll when you are tired, at the end of the day."

Emerald Mansion Hotel – Special Class

10/10 Excellent

"This was a wonderful hotel to stay at for my first visit to Istanbul. It is in the heart of everything. There are like a million restaurants around you, many shopping sites and the tram is right up the street. The room was VERY clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. Mel the main receptionist that I saw was wonderful. The room did feel hot the first night and I tried to change the thermostat but the guests are not able to change it on their own. You just let the receptionist know. They changed it for me to make the room cooler. If this is your first time visiting Istanbul this is a great place to stay as it's within walking distance of most of the tourist attractions and there are tons of restaurants and shopping all around you. I felt welcomed by the staff and would stay here again."
