"First off the staff is wonderful The location is amazing 1-3m walk from the palace and Hagia Sofia The wifi/internet is free but it’s bad, barely could stream things The water is a problem, sometimes it cut off for a few seconds and we had renovations on the historic wall on the other side of the street until 1AM But honestly for the price we paid (60$ CAD) a night it was amazing They helped for the taxi, the night Cruze was amazing and cheap They even made a phone call for us Great...

Top Cankurtaran Hotel Reviews

Sultanhan Hotel - Special Class

10/10 Excellent

"Brilliant location to stay The staff were great and friendly The proximity of the hotel to the main strip with the Grand Bazaar on one side to the Aya Sofia, Blue Mosque and the Basillica Cistern. The metro stop is very close to the hotel. I stayed in this hotel last year in 2025 and now again in 2026. If I return to Istanbul, I will be staying at this hotel again. It nice and clean, and a brilliant hotel to come back to after a busy day in Istanbul!"

Çırağan Hotel Bosphorus

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely loved the hotel! Very conveniently located with walking distance from all the important places. We booked a room with partial sea view and it was amazing. The hotel was super clean, staff was very helpful, and the way they setup the room was very nice especially placing the floor mats with slippers near the bed with a chocolate was a very nice gesture. If I come to besikhtash I will definitely stay at this hotel and will also recommend to my friends."

Grand Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"🌟 Unforgettable Stay – We Felt Like Family! Review Score: 4/5 We just returned from our family trip to Istanbul, and the absolute best part of this hotel was the phenomenal staff. The entire reception team was amazing, but we want to give a special mention to Eyup. His service was absolutely phenomenal, and he went completely above and beyond for us. By the end of our stay, the whole team felt like family, and they made us feel like a part of theirs. We stayed in a top-floor air conditioned apartment with very good accommodation and incredibly comfortable beds. The rooms were reasonably clean for the local standard, though the hotel itself felt a little undermaintained in places. If you want a comfortable stay with world-class hospitality, this is the place. We would love to return in a heartbeat just to see our new family again!"
