Tips for choosing your hotel

  • For a first visit, staying near a tram stop (T1 line) saves a lot — it links Sultanahmet with the Grand Bazaar and Eminonu.
  • Mind the hills: some Beyoglu hotels sit on steep slopes — check reviews about walking access.
  • Read recent reviews and compare across providers before booking.
