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.

The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful, always checking in with us and offering coffee, tea, or anything else we might want to drink. Muhammad, consistently made sure everything was perfect, greeting us each time with a warm and genuine smile. The location was excellent — close to every type of public transport (train, bus, tram, boats) and surrounded by restaurants, shops, and many major attractions. The room was modern, comfortable, and clean.

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.

Guys at the reception are adorable, Ege, Nihad and Attila will really make your stay unforgettable ! The location of the hostel is ideal, you're only a few minutes walk from the Blue Mosquee, the Topkapi Palace and Ayasofia, the view on the Marmara sea is refreshing in the morning while sipping your tea on the balcony, and there's always a fun game or interesting animation in the evening. I highly recommend the place, and would come back with great pleasure, thanks for everything !

We stayed five days, in a room in the first floor, a couple. Excellent hotel, clean rooms, comfortable beds, quiet location. The receptionists were all very helpful, discrete and polite. We absolutely recommend this place for staying in old city. It was close by foot in a lot of sightseeing such as yeni mosque, galata bridge, grand and spice bazaar, the old market and many others. 10 minutes from the tram station from you go to topkapi palace and hagia sophia. Definitely we will stay here again!

The team was LOVELY (Hany, Ramazan, etc.). Always here to help out with genuine smiles whenever needed. The room was convenient given the price, and the hotel was 5 mins (walking distance) from the historical center (Aya Sofia, Blue Mosque, Basilic cistern, topkapi palace, and the obélisques), in a neighborhood that was safe, even late at night (solo travel, female : 1am, etc.). I enjoyed my stay here and would definitely book the same hotel if need be.

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.
