Top Istanbul University Hotel Reviews

Mövenpick Istanbul Old Town

10/10 Excellent

"Hôtel très propre, bien situé."

The Marmara Taksim

8/10 Good

"Small rooms and high prices..."

Emerald Mansion Hotel – Special Class

10/10 Excellent

"I had a great stay here. The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The airport shuttle was also very convenient and made getting to and from the airport much easier. The air conditioning worked well, which was especially appreciated after traveling. Overall, a comfortable and convenient place to stay, and I would happily stay here again."

Legacy Ottoman Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Honestly I was a bit skeptical about staying after reading the reviews, but I’m glad I did stay. It gave our visit to Istanbul a unique vibe, the ottoman architecture, a classic and beautiful hotel. The staff are very nice, the breakfast is worth the money because of the variation, but honestly not necessary. And the location is where you want to be. The perfect central location for tourists planning to visit different sites. The food is good price around the hotel compared to Sultanahmet area. Highly recommended P.S. do not change money at the exchange office in front of the hotel, just walk two more minutes and get the best exchange rate."
