My mom and I recently stayed at the White Palace Hotel in Istanbul, and we had an absolutely amazing experience! From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. They were incredibly friendly, attentive, and always ready to assist with a warm smile. Our room was spotless and impeccably cleaned every day, which added to the comfort of our stay. The hospitality was unmatched—every time we returned to the hotel, we were greeted with the kind gesture of being offered hot beverages, which felt so thoughtful and inviting. The typical Turkish breakfast was a highlight of our mornings. It was delicious, made with fresh and high-quality ingredients, and offered a variety of options that we looked forward to every day. The location of the hotel is extremely convenient, with both the metro and tram stations nearby, making it easy to get around. Moreover, many of Istanbul’s iconic tourist attractions are within walking distance, which saved us time and allowed us to explore the city at our own pace. The terrace was another wonderful feature of the hotel. Even though we visited in winter, it was clear how beautiful it would be in the summer. I can only imagine enjoying the stunning views while sipping tea on a warm evening. Overall, we were delighted with our stay at White Palace Hotel, and we’re already looking forward to returning. If you’re visiting Istanbul, I highly recommend this hotel for its excellent service, cleanliness, and unbeatable hospitality! Thanks Adnan for the hospitality. And also special mention to Kasia if not mistaken, the lady from breakfast!

We chose this apartment because of its amazing price. Despite being quite affordable, the location was very convenient for us, with the downtown area easily accessible by foot or by bus. The apartment met our expectations - simple but sufficient for our needs. If you're looking for a budget-friendly option close to the city, this is a solid pick.

Location is perfect, a 10-15 min walk to Hagia Sophia, The Blue Mosque, the Basilica Cistern, Topkapi Palace, a 30 min walk to the Grand Bazaar. Lots of great and affordable restaurants around, lots of markets for food and drinks or souvenirs (they are a lot cheaper here than at the bazaar btw). Easy to get a taxi if you need it. Good Turkish breakfast was included.
