Best Accommodation in Istanbul

Local Recommendations from our My Guide Istanbul team

Whether you’re after a luxurious 5-star hotel by the Bosphorus, restored Ottoman house with sea views, quaint guesthouse or a lively hostel, Istanbul has something to suit every style and budget.

Sultanahmet, with its unrivalled beauty, makes it a popular choice for all budgets. However, if you’re after a more lively experience in the heart of modern Istanbul, Taksim has an increasing number of hostels and high end hotels. Some of Istanbul’s most luxurious hotels can be found along the Bosphorus, in beautifully restored Ottoman mansions.
