Frequently asked questions about Istanbul hotels

Which side of Istanbul should you choose: Europe or Asia?

Istanbul is divided by the Bosphorus strait. The European side (Sultanahmet, Beyoğlu) concentrates the historic monuments and tourist buzz. The Asian side (Kadıköy) offers a more local, authentic atmosphere. Our hotels cover both shores for every style of traveller.

How do you travel between the two sides of the Bosphorus?

The ferry is the most iconic and economical way. Boats leave regularly from Eminönü or Beşiktaş. The metro, buses and taxis are also very accessible. Several of our hotels are strategically located near the piers and main transport links.

Which neighbourhoods are the most interesting to stay in?

Sultanahmet for history (Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia), Beyoğlu for contemporary life and trendy restaurants, Kadıköy for local authenticity, Ortaköy for a bohemian vibe. Our selection of hotels covers each district according to your traveller profile.

Are there hotels with a view over the Bosphorus?

Yes, several of our hotels offer spectacular views over the strait. Some are on the waterfront with a terrace, others up high with a panoramic view. It's a real plus for the Istanbul experience. Check each hotel's details to confirm this feature.
