Istanbul
« on: August 10, 2010, 11:47:50 AM »
Following our planned stay in Kalkan in October we are thinking about heading back to the UK via Istanbul. We intend to have 4 nights stay in the city and are wondering whether any EK friends would have a recommendation on where best to stay. If you have any recommendations on hotels that would be greatly appreciated.

Last year, I stayed in the Orient Express Hotel and it was good value for money and in a very convenient location.  Their site is orientexpresshotel.com.

Last year we stayed at the Arcadia Hotel. Within walking distance of Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Grand Bazaar and Topkapi Palace. The Metro is at the end of the road.

We were there last year and stayed at the Empress Zoe hotel.  Really handy to all the major tourist sites and if you pay by cash they will give you a discount. Empress Zoe is a really quaint, turkish hotel with little secluded areas in the garden.l

I'm fairly sure this was the hotel we stayed in when we went to Istanbul in 1997. I don't remember much about it (which is a good sign in itself), but it was indeed very convenient for the main tourist sights in that part of the city. What I do remember, though, is that there were two guys on reception who we thought at the time were complete lunatics: always laughing, joking and playing (nice) tricks. We now realise, after 13 years' experience of Kalkan, that they were just normal young Turkish guys!!

1997 was our first visit to Turkey: 5 nights or so in Istanbul and then on to a quiet little resort I had liked the look of in the brochure. Yes: Kalkan - and the rest, as they say, is history.........
