• Location: perfect, walk distance to most sightseeing attractions in old town, and walk distance to new/European town. 5 minutes walk to the ferry pier and from where we travelled to Asia part/Kadikoy easily; surrounded by high rated restaurants and cafes, and the most popular dessert store. • Sea view & Spacious Room: Simply open the curtain and you will enjoy the whole view from sunrise to sunset - had jetlag issue for the first night, awake at 4:30 and marvelled by how quite and calm the city was at dawn, and how vivid and shiny it could be with sun coming up. • Staff: SUPER friendly and helpful, happy to assist and greet you every time when you are leaving and back.

The hotel is well located for exploring the main sights in the European side of Istanbul and close to the ferry stations if you want to go the Asian side. We did not need any transport but walked to all our visiting destinations - yet Taksim is a bit far if you are not in a good condition. The service in the hotel was very friendly and helpful. The room price included all, also the spa. Free afternoon coffee was a nice surprise. The restaurant serves only the breakfast and afternoon coffee but that is not a problem as there are several nice restaurants within 100-m radius from the hotel.

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.

We loved the location, within walking distance of most of the main attractions in old Istanbul ,eg Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Basilica cistern, Topkapi Palace, Istanbul archaeological museum, etc. The hotel was small, very clean, had everything needed, and extremely friendly and helpful staff whi could arrange tours for you and advise on where to shop and eat. The bed was very comfortable with clean linen and towels provided daily. There was a lovely full pressure shower. The breakfast included was excellent and set us up for the day.

The location is everything for this hotel. It’s just a two or three minute walk to the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. And Topkapi palace is nearby too.There’s a tram stop right in front of the hotel, and Hafiz Mustafa is only a few minutes away. You’ll also find plenty of food options nearby. They kindly kept our luggage free of charge even after our check out.

Great location in historic quarter of Istanbul with easy walk to Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, etc. Staff extremely helpful in that we arrived at 7am and Orhan, the Duty Manager, readily agreed to let us have a "free" breakfast as we would be leaving at 5:30 am, thereby missing our prepaid breakfast. Also they had a room ready for us at 10am. Panoramic views over the Bosphorus from the dining area, excellent breakfasts and one dinner. Helpful advice regarding public transport. Spacious indoor swimming pool. Complementary afternoon tea

Fifteen minutes' walk from the Blue Mosque and Topkapi Palace. Three minutes' walk from the Tram Station that can take you to the Port for a quick ferry ride to the Asian side. We felt very safe at all hours of the day. Free baggage storage available. Will book there 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.
