Sirkeci hotels

We enjoyed our stay at Ipek Palas Hotel (Istanbul) very much. The hotel is conveniently located in close proximity to many historical sites and tourist attractions. It is well-organized and managed and above all the staff are very very friendly and helpful. This hotel has the novel position of "Guest Relations" and the staff, Ms. Bilge Ozdemir was a very knowledgeable, charming, polite, and professional lady with excellent command of English and she helped us greatly with our planning. This type of assistance, especially for visitors who do not speak the language and are not familiar with the country, proved to be very helpful. In summary, Ipek Palas was the friendliest hotel we have visited.

I stayed at Amisos Hotel in April 2011, and was really happy I chose this hotel. It's international class but retains the local charm of Istanbul. The rooms are beautiful decorated, a little on the ornate side but it's nice to have something different. Bathroom was very clean, I think this was the first time I have ever seen an automatic flush in a hotel room! The staff checked me in quickly, wake up call as promised, and arranged for a taxi ride to the airport the next morning. Great location, fair price - can't imagine why I'd stay anywhere else.

The room and hotel were more than confortable with a healthy, plentiful breakfast included in the rate. Staff were always obliging and very helpful. Just a 30 metre walk from the tram-stop. Lots of restaurants nearby and an easy walk down to the ferry terminals.

wonderful holiday in Istanbul. amazing city, very lively and great civilisation. a wonderful experience. I will recommend to everybody.

Nice hotel which is centrally located for exploring the main sites in Istanbul. Friendly and helpful staff, good breakfast, nice room and a good view. Would definitely recommend and would use again on another trip to Istanbul.

We chose this hotel because it is within walking distance of the main attractions (Topkapi Palace, Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and waterfront for a boat trip up the Bosporus). The hotel is quiet, clean, very reasonably priced and the staff were very helpful. There are also plenty of excellent restaurants within a couple of minutes walk for dinner. Finally, if you get lost in Istanbul (as we did) you can follow the tramlines to get you back to the hotel!

Fantastic location in sultanahmet. I have stayed here before and will stay again. Hotel staff are fantastic. Special thanks to Neda and Ibrahim

This place was really great. I had a short layover and the hotel was perfectly located to all the major sites. The hotel staff was really nice too and I felt comfortable being a solo female traveler. I would go back to Hotel IIkay the next time I am in Istanbul.

The hotel was excellent. The staff are friendly, well informed and always willing to help. The location is great for access to the old town, sites like the blue mosque, Aya Sofya, and Grand Bazaar as well and the nearest tram stations being no more than two or three minutes walk away. The breakfast is basic but decent with and good variety and the view from the breakfast room is excellent. The room was more than big enough, clean and tidy and had all the amenities that you would expect.

Daughter and I were given a mini suite, one bedroom with 2 large beds, separate sitting room with sofa/bed, 2 bathrooms, 2 wardrobes, 2 TV's. Bathrooms and rooms spotlessly clean. Very helpful staff. Excellent nouvelle cuisine rooftop restaurant, reasonable buffet breakfast.Free wifi. Only slight drawback was on busy street with trams running past window, but excellent position centrally located near bars, restaurants, Topkapi Palace.
