Frequently Asked Questions

What's the trade-off with a 3-star hotel in this area?

Smaller rooms and simpler furnishings than the 4 and 5-star options, but the same 10 minute walk to Topkapi Palace and Hagia Sophia.

Is a 3-star hotel here safe for solo travelers?

Yes, Sultanahmet and Cankurtaran are heavily touristed, well-lit, and patrolled areas, with front desks staffed around the clock at most properties.

Do these hotels have elevators?

Most do, though a few smaller historic buildings in this category are walk-up only. Check the property details before booking if that matters to you.
