The hotel is within walking distance of many of the main attractions. It is an easy walk across the bridge to the “new Istanbul” on the Asian side of the Bosphorus River. Our room viewed this very beautiful little area over the river at night. Although the room was small it was what we expected . We watched the ships and ferries come and go from our bed. The room was very clean and comfortable. It could be serviced each day if you required. Each morning we enjoyed a delicious and varied breakfast of both hot and cold dishes which were sweet, savoury and of course some Turkish .The staff were always friendly and helpful.

We are very glad to spent one night in Hilton double tree hotel, the address is very good, very close to scenic spot, we can just walk to anywhere we want. And also it's very close to railway station, so we can easily go to airport. The most thing I like is their wonderful service, I must say receiptionist Berat and Jacob are very kind and very helpful (also very hansome LOL), they treat us as good friends, also they recommend how we can play around during such short time, and we are very satisfied with it. Thank you very much!

I recently stayed at the Romance Istanbul Hotel and let me tell you, it was an awesome experience! The service was top-notch and the staff were so friendly and helpful. They really went out of their way to make sure I was happy and comfortable during my stay. Now let's talk about breakfast...it was seriously amazing! There was such a huge variety of tasty food to choose from, I had trouble deciding what to eat. And the design of the hotel was really cool - everything looked so stylish. And last but not least, the location of the hotel was perfect. It was easy to get to all the cool spots in town, thanks to the nearby tram station. I would totally recommend the hotel to anyone looking for a sweet spot to stay. The service, staff, food, design, spa, cleanliness, and location were all amazing!

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.

    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.

    Too expensive ticket, but if you enter, do eat before entering and grab with yourself a bigger bottled water. There is no place to get a water inside, one spot sells drinks at multiple times the normal price. The trip may last around 3 hours so eat well beforehand. Really recommend going early, as later in the day and after 2 + hours after opening, it gets too crowdy.

    1500 Liras per person in June 2024. We had to pay this price for kids aged 7, 9 and 11 as well. You only get discount if you show passports. Overpriced and too many people. Museum is worth visting but not at that price.

    The location is excellent: easy walking distance to Aya Sofya, Sultanahmet mosque, Topkapi Palace, Hippodrome area and Grand Bazaar. Also, walkable to Sirkeci and Galata Bridge. My top floor room had a balcony with a terrific view of Aya Sofya and the view for Sultanahmet mosque from the dining room is remarkable. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

The staff is amazingly nice, in the restaurant Ramazan conquered our hearts, being attentive and sweet. The food is diverse, served in a very nice, intimate atmosphere. Murat, Ömer and Furtian were also great. The room was big and comfortable, very clean. Many shopping and eating possibilities can be found in the vicinity of the hotel. Whenever I will come to Istanbul, for sure I will stay in this hotel!

This is also a very generous hotel in terms of variety of their breakfast. I was surprised of the selection and quality/taste, good job guys. Thanks Florina Hotel for making our time in Istanbul a comfy and memorable one.

Each was spot on and really helped make our short stay a great one. The room was very nice too and location is perfect. Just 10mins stroll from Hagia Sofia, Topkapi palace, blue mosque, cistern etc. View of the sea and blue mosque when having generous breakfast on the terrace at the top was really good too!

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.
