The hotel was perfect. Staff were really friendly and attentive to all the needs. Location of the hotel is perfect, because it is close to everything but at the same time away from the busy loud streets. It was amazing. Room cleaning was performed really well and neatly. Breakfast was the best part of it! As well as the staff always being around and helpful. If I would go back to Istanbul I would definitely stay there again!

All the staff members are very nice. Fatih from the reception provided us with an upgrade for a suite and also provided us breakfast for 2 days. Yavuz was also very nice and provided us with late check out. In general the hotel is very cosy, clean, beautiful and good location.

We recently stayed at Downtown Sirkeci Hotel and had a wonderful experience. The rooms were spotless, with comfortable beds that ensured a restful night’s sleep. The breakfast buffet offered a great variety of delicious options every day, ensuring there was something for everyone. The hotel also impressed with its spacious and fast elevator, which made getting around the building easy and efficient. Additionally, the location is fantastic — conveniently close to all the main attractions, making it easy to explore the city. What truly made our stay memorable, however, was the exceptional service. A special thank you to Mr. Fouad, who went above and beyond to help us recover a suitcase we had forgotten at the airport. He was always available and answered our questions with a friendly smile. I’d also like to express my gratitude to Mr. Ahmet for his helpful tips.

Topkapi Palace

The home of Ottoman sultans for hundreds of years, Topkapi Palace is part of Istanbul’s UNESCO World Heritage Site. Dating back to 1459, this sprawling royal residence once covered a huge stretch of the shore – and even had its own hospital, mint and mosques within the walls. Now a museum, it displays some of the most important artefacts of the Muslim world.

    Ensure that you schedule enough time to visit. The recommended time is not enough to spend time with everything. Ensure that you include Harem as part of your tour. An absolute must see to appreciate the rest of the tour

    i know the country is struggling and that they also have to do what they can to reduce the hordes tramping through Topkapi, but you have to be on the level of the British Museum or the Louvre with a once-in-a-lifetime traveling exhibit to justify these kinds of prices. I'm very interested in Turkish history as well as an archaeology buff and it didn't merit the investment. i think they should cut the price in half, offer a steep discount for seniors, and cut off ticket sales at a certain volume each hour.

    1,700 lira per person, payable in cash or card (debit/credit) in TL, Euros, or USD. The free audio guide requires you leave your passport as deposit (not $), so be sure to bring yours. There is only one place inside that require women to wear a shawl and they have freebies you can use at the entrance to those rooms. The harem is included in this price, NO need to pay an extra 600 TL. Budget at least a good couple hours just to tour the place.

    Too expensive ticket, but if you enter, do eat before entering and grab with yourself a bigger bottled water. There is no place to get a water inside, one spot sells drinks at multiple times the normal price. The trip may last around 3 hours so eat well beforehand. Really recommend going early, as later in the day and after 2 + hours after opening, it gets too crowdy.

    1500 Liras per person in June 2024. We had to pay this price for kids aged 7, 9 and 11 as well. You only get discount if you show passports. Overpriced and too many people. Museum is worth visting but not at that price.

    The hotel is located in the historic Sultanahmet district, close to Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, and other major attractions, all within walking distance. Although it’s very close to the tourist areas, the street is quiet, allowing you to rest well after long walks.

Everything you can expect for the trip. It's just 6 6-minute walk away from the Topkapi Palace and Hagia Sophia, and very close to public transport. Absolute worth it for the money.

Turkish breakfast was outstanding and the afternoon tea on the terrace gave us a chance to relax away from the crowds and business of Istanbul. Peaceful location, fantastic for family, and couples of any age. Top rating. Staff were very helpful and rooms were wonderful.

What guests said about Topkapi Palace:

  • Walk everywhere possible.

    Walk everywhere possible. Visit Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Basilica cisterns and Topkapi Palace but go as early as possible as they get very crowded. For a trip on the Bosporus get the public ferry from under the Galata bridge to the last stop and go up to the castle and then get last ferry back to Istanbul. The first ferry is at 10.35 and the ferry back is at 3ish. It is very reasonable but there is no commentary but we thought it was excellent but be early to get a good view and position on top deck. We found the best restaurant to be Amedros. We went two times and the food is excellent and good value and the staff friendly attentive.

    If you go to Topkapi Palace it is worth paying for a guided tour in order to appreciate it. Audio guides are available but in my experience these are often disappointing. The rooms are often empty and there is limited information to read. A guide brings the place to life.
