Holiday Inn ISTANBUL - OLD CITY by IHG Hotels in Istanbul

Holiday Inn ISTANBUL - OLD CITY by IHG

"Almost every staff member was lovely but the manager at the breakfast room somehow had her worst days during my stay. She was stressed, unfriendly, and simply spread some toxic vibe. But all others at reception, SPA and room service were so nice and warm. Room was clean except under the bed. It hasn’t been cleaned in a long time as it seems. Spa is great and was probably the best experience I had. Lounge and breakfast room are spacious and colorful, food and drinks are very good."

Aliée Istanbul - A Paris Society Collection Hotel

"An exceptional stay from beginning to end. I genuinely felt at home. The decor is absolutely stunning, with every detail thoughtfully designed, creating a true sense of calm and serenity throughout the entire space. I felt so comfortable throughout my stay that I naturally chose to fully enjoy the hotel and its facilities. The spa was a real highlight. The destress massage was outstanding, and the Vibro Acoustic Therapy was equally impressive both deeply relaxing and beautifully executed. Breakfast was of excellent quality, with a refined selection and great attention to detail. The staff overall was exceptional. A special mention to Amel and Dania, who were incredibly responsive and helpful via WhatsApp throughout my stay, and to Liliane in the morning who is impressive with her hardworking and bright smile 💕 There was, however, a slight disappointment regarding the skin treatment, which did not meet my expectations. That said, I truly appreciated the way the situation was handled at the check-out. Mr Atil Seran, the director of Front Office, demonstrated great professionalism and ensured a fair resolution. Overall, a remarkable experience that I would gladly recommend ✨✨✨"

Galatahan Hotel Istanbul Karakoy ★★★
"The hotel was clean and well designed. Stuff is friendly and I had no problem with arriving at the night. I had a stopover between two long flights and the main reason that I stopped at the hotel was chance to sleep with comfort and to have a nice breakfast without changing money and looking for a place. Unfortunately breakfast was awful, only boiled eggs were normal. It seems that vegetables and fruits were prepared not this morning, coffee was disgusting and even water and juice had strange taste. Finally it's okay to live here, but not the best idea to have breakfast. Nearby are some historical streets and the tower, I had a nice short walk before going to the airport."

Istanbul is where East crashes into West—the only city straddling two continents, where Byzantine ruins meet Ottoman palaces and chaotic bazaars overflow with everything from fake designer bags to fragrant spices. (The stray cats, by the way, run the place.) Skip just staring at Hagia Sophia and dive into the backstreets of Kadıköy, munch on simit from a street cart, and sip çay like a local as ferries zigzag across the Bosphorus.

Getting to & around Istanbul

Flying in? You'll probably land at Istanbul Airport (IST)—huge, modern, and about ​35-40km from the city center (Sultanahmet/Taksim). The drive can take anywhere from 45 minutes to forever, depending on Istanbul’s legendary traffic. If you’re stuck on a red-eye, book a cheap airport hotel with a shuttle—way better than dealing with groggy taxi haggles at 4 am.

Once you’re in the city, getting around is half the adventure. The ​metro and tram are dirt cheap and surprisingly efficient for hitting major spots. ​Taxis work if you’re lazy (always demand the meter—drivers will try to scam tourists). But the real move? ​Ferries—for the price of a coffee, you get killer Bosphorus views while avoiding traffic hell.
