About

Turgut Hotel - Istanbul

With just 8 rooms, it offers a more personal, small-scale alternative to the larger hotels nearby. The hotel's position places it within easy reach of the district's main sights, with Topkapi Palace a 9-minute walk away and the Sultanahmet District a short stroll from the door.

The ground floor houses a restaurant, and the building includes a bar and outdoor dining area. A 24-hour front desk, room service, and a lift are among the practical amenities, while the rooms themselves feature parquet floors, flat-screen TVs, and tea and coffee facilities.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • A very small property with limited scale — With only 8 rooms, the hotel offers an intimate stay, but this also means fewer on-site facilities than a larger property and a greater likelihood of selling out.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel's policy does not permit pets, which may be a constraint for those travelling with animals.
  • Night club on the premises — The amenities list includes a night club, which could generate noise for guests seeking a completely quiet stay, despite some reviews noting the hotel is quiet.
  • A standard Quadruple Room is without air conditioning — While most room types list air conditioning, the Quadruple Room and Standard Twin Room amenities only mention heating, which could be a factor during Istanbul's warmer months.
