How can I get cheap hotels in Istanbul?

Best tips to find a cheap hotel in Istanbul

  1. If you're looking to travel to Istanbul on a budget, you'll be happy to know that you can find hotels for as low as $36. Of course, that price is affected by amenities, star rating, and even the time of year you visit. At most, hotel prices can be as high as $165. Staying a short amount of time in Istanbul is an effective way to reduce hotel costs.

  2. When you cut your vacation down to just a few days, you don't have to worry as much about hotel prices since you don't have that many nights to stay. For budget hotels in Istanbul, 3 to 4 days should be all the nights you need. That's generally enough to enjoy the city's top attractions, though there's certainly enough to do to warrant a week-long trip.

  3. When booking cheap hotel rooms in Istanbul, it's typically best to book about 3 weeks in advance. Book further in advance than that and you could be paying too much for your room, as hotels will often overestimate future demand. However, if you wait too long, you might find that the hotel has been completely booked.

  4. When you utilize search filters on Expedia, you'll be able to narrow down your results in a flash. These search filters cover a wide variety of factors you may be interested in when it comes to finding a cheap hotel in Istanbul, including amenities such as Free Breakfast, 2-star rating, or proximity to local attractions. You can even set filters for price limits to ensure that all the displayed results are within your budget.

"We had a wonderful experience at this hotel. The staff went above and beyond to be friendly. The room was sparkling clean. All the staff went above and beyond. The breakfast was amazing and had so many different options. The servers in the restaurant were so kind and went out of their way for my child. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you are in Istanbul. It is close to everything and they do a great job of telling you how to get around the city. "
