We are very glad to spent one night in Hilton double tree hotel, the address is very good, very close to scenic spot, we can just walk to anywhere we want. And also it's very close to railway station, so we can easily go to airport. The most thing I like is their wonderful service, I must say receiptionist Berat and Jacob are very kind and very helpful (also very hansome LOL), they treat us as good friends, also they recommend how we can play around during such short time, and we are very satisfied with it. Thank you very much!

This is an outstanding butique hotel in a perfect place to discover Istanbul. It is positioned in the very heart of Sirekci district, with many good restaurants nearby, yet in a silent street. The staff is extremely kind, polite and helpful. The rooms are fine, clean and updated. The breakfast is also excellent, with a wide variety of local food and fruits.

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.

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.

Everything was great. New apartment, new bed, fully equipped kitchen. Location is very close to transportation, Sultanahmet, Hagia Sophia Mosque, Gulhane Park, Topkapi Palace. The staff comes to the apartment immediately when you send a message. If there is any problem, I think it's a good place for families who want to stay for a long night, and the price is reasonable. I will come again. Anna Vorontsova

We had a wonderful stay at Magnaura Palace Hotel! The location is unbeatable — just a short walk from Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, and Topkapı Palace, yet tucked away enough to feel peaceful and cozy. The rooms are charming and comfortable; One of the highlights was the terrace view — watching over Istanbul’s historic skyline was magical. The staff was warm, attentive, and always ready to help with suggestions or arrangements.

I loved the style of this old building with all its wood panelling. I also loved the wonderful manager, Abdullah. He works very hard and is on site 24/7. The tiled bathrooms are very beautiful. The location is brilliant. Just a short walk or bus ride from the Topkapi Palace, Blue Mosque, and Hagia Sophia: very close to Kumkapi train station. Walking distance from Yenikapi Ferry Terminal. Shops and restaurants are all very close by.

Very Budget Friendly and amazing hotel. Engin was a very nice host and helped guide us about Istanbul, as it was our first time there. Good-sized room and clean bathroom. 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.

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.
