The best place I can imagine. Location was perfect next to the train station and to the lovely park. A very Quiet area and walking distance to everything you need to see in Istanbul. The family is fun and very friendly. They offered to carry my bags to the station at 7 in the morning and paid for my trip to the airport.

Topkapi Palace

The home of Ottoman sultans for hundreds of years, Topkapi Palace is part of Istanbul’s UNESCO World Heritage Site. Dating back to 1459, this sprawling royal residence once covered a huge stretch of the shore – and even had its own hospital, mint and mosques within the walls. Now a museum, it displays some of the most important artefacts of the Muslim world.

As a traveler, I found this place very attractive and enjoyable to visit. The atmosphere is pleasant and well suited for people who like exploring city locations and popular spots. It is easy to access and fits well into a city sightseeing plan. The area feels lively, interesting, and well organized, making it a good stop while visiting the city. My name is NIMAX, and as a tourist from France and Iran who travels around the world, I appreciate places like this that offer a positive and smooth visiting experience. Overall, it is a good place to visit and worth recommending to other travelers.

Don't take a guided tour for Topkapi Palace because you will be rushed through and can't take the time to savour all the delights. There are English signs that explain areas and you can also download an audio guide if you wish. Make sure to visit the Harem. Don't miss the kitchens on the side. We took four hours to really enjoy this palace.

Ensure that you schedule enough time to visit. The recommended time is not enough to spend time with everything. Ensure that you include Harem as part of your tour. An absolute must see to appreciate the rest of the tour

i know the country is struggling and that they also have to do what they can to reduce the hordes tramping through Topkapi, but you have to be on the level of the British Museum or the Louvre with a once-in-a-lifetime traveling exhibit to justify these kinds of prices. I'm very interested in Turkish history as well as an archaeology buff and it didn't merit the investment. i think they should cut the price in half, offer a steep discount for seniors, and cut off ticket sales at a certain volume each hour.

1,700 lira per person, payable in cash or card (debit/credit) in TL, Euros, or USD. The free audio guide requires you leave your passport as deposit (not $), so be sure to bring yours. There is only one place inside that require women to wear a shawl and they have freebies you can use at the entrance to those rooms. The harem is included in this price, NO need to pay an extra 600 TL. Budget at least a good couple hours just to tour the place.

Location is stunning. Overlooking the sea and being able to see all the wonderful European side attractions such as Galata tower, Topkapi palace etc. Sadly part of this view may be gone soon as a large new Mosque is being built which may affect the view in parts. Easy from here for all modes of transport to visit this stunning city. Cheap to travel and never any need for a taxi. Staff are all utterly lovely. We had a family room which was very spacious. Cleaned every day without fail.

Location. Next to Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace and T1 tram. Many many restaurants. The highlight was their staff Hasan Akbulat. It was heavy raining on the day we head to airport. Our van could not get to hotel. Hasan offered to take us by golf cart to meet with the driver. He also helped with our big luggages. Otherwise we will be all wet. Thanks.

Very nice Hotel in Sultanahmet, within a short walk of the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace etc. Friendly staff, nice rooms and a good breakfast selection enhanced by the lady making lovely Gozleme to order. The hotel offers an airport pick up and drop off that was very efficient. We would happily stay again.

Excellent stay at Basilis Hotel. Staff went over and beyond to make us feel welcomed and checkin is smooth. The hotel has an elevator and our room was modern and clean. Reception area is great for sitting down having a tea/coffee and talking with other people staying there- most other hotels in Istanbul don't have a large area to sit n relax. Location is close to basilica sistern, blue mosque, hagia Sophia and Topkapi Palace. Metro/ tram stop is also very near. We be returning 😎 and will book this hotel again.

What guests said about Topkapi Palace:

Walk everywhere possible.

Walk everywhere possible. Visit Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Basilica cisterns and Topkapi Palace but go as early as possible as they get very crowded. For a trip on the Bosporus get the public ferry from under the Galata bridge to the last stop and go up to the castle and then get last ferry back to Istanbul. The first ferry is at 10.35 and the ferry back is at 3ish. It is very reasonable but there is no commentary but we thought it was excellent but be early to get a good view and position on top deck. We found the best restaurant to be Amedros. We went two times and the food is excellent and good value and the staff friendly attentive.

If you go to Topkapi Palace it is worth paying for a guided tour in order to appreciate it. Audio guides are available but in my experience these are often disappointing. The rooms are often empty and there is limited information to read. A guide brings the place to life.
