Hotels near Topkapi Palace Istanbul

"It’s a true hidden gem, nice brand new hotel in an excellent location, right in the heart of sultanahmet area, minutes to Hagia-Sophia, Blue Mosque and grand bazaar by walk. The staffs are very helpful and friendly, especially the manager… she is absolutely amazing! We had a stopover in Istanbul on our way back from the US. Since we had four large pieces of luggage, we were upgraded to a larger room to accommodate them."

"We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The staff was top notch!! They were incredible. Excellent customer service. It is in a good location to walk, take tram or ferry to the favorite spots to visit in Istanbul. Very good restaurants close by the hotel in walking distance with fair pricing compared to other areas in Istanbul. You won’t regret staying at the Golden Horn Bosphorus Hotel."

"It is a beautifully renovated historic building. I believe it’s the closest hotel to Topkapi Palace and Hagia Sophia."

"The "junior suite" was quite roomy and very comfortable since our room was at the rear if the building, it was actually very quiet at night, despite what I had heard about Istanbul being super noisy. Staff at the Lalahan are very pleasant and helpful Decent choice if you want to be in a convenient location -- easy walk to some of the major attractions such as the Hagia Sophia. Only real drawback is that this walk (and the hotel) is on the road with the tram/streetcar, so you need to be REALLY...
