Pablo Picasso famously once said that "the purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls." The meaning of this great quote will not be lost when you view the collection at Gallery Apel.

This display of artworks is on the to-do lists of many visitors to Taksim. But Gallery Apel isn't the only drawcard here. Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and Topkapi Palace are some other worthwhile sights nearby.

9/10 Wonderful! (160 reviews)

Super friendly and helpful staff, room and generally around the hotel nice and clean. Great view from the restaurant. I wouldn't say this felt like a 5* hotel, maybe a 4* and location made it difficult to get cabs.

9.6/10 Exceptional! (812 reviews)

Excellent location, short walk to Blue Mosque and Sultanahmet square but hotel was quiet! Clean, comfortable, and modern rooms. Great staff willing to help plan and go above (Shams, Burak, Tibit, Ridwan, Burhan, and everyone else). Good breakfast selection to help start your adventures in Istanbul. Highly recommend Carina Gold.
