Accommodation in Old Istanbul
Old Istanbul - life in History
Lodging in Istanbul means to live in the old city, which absorbed the history and spirit of several ancient cities. Antique Byzantium with the simplicity and austerity of the Roman streets, medieval Constantinople with its pomp and majesty, finally, Ottoman Istanbul, striking the world with its luxury... Today Istanbul is a metropolis - very modern, comfortable and big. But at the same time, it is quite comfortable - the fact that distinguishes it from other megacities in the world. And only the old part of Istanbul retains a unique charm of oriental city, lost by chance in the middle of a huge modern city monster. Hotels in Old Istanbul - it means stillness, cosiness and comfort. And, most importantly, those who arrived in town to admire the sights, we encourage to choose from the following hotels.
Hotels near Covered Market
There are plenty of hotels. Choose one of them and you will get into the realm of oriental bazaar and the atmosphere of the Thousand and One Nights. This is a very old district of Istanbul, which became a market many years ago. For this reason they builded hotels here since time immemorial. Only then they were known as inns. Hotels near the Covered Market are mostly three star and cost from $ 40-60 per room (very cheap, indeed).
Hotels near Hippodrome
Hippodrome is the heart of Old Istanbul. The Hippodrome was the center of Constantinople, and the number of monuments that have survived in this area cannot be calculated. Many of them have not yet been excavated! Hotels near Hippodrome can be divided into two types. First one - the hotels are located along the Hippodrome, overlooking the Square itself. This is convenient, but, on the other hand, the Hippodrome is always crowdy. If you want privacy, but you do not want to live far from the historic center, then choose a hotel located just below the Hippodrome. This is a 2 minute walk, but the silence is guaranteed together with the views of the city walls of Constantinople - an ancient magical statue...
Hotels near Hagia Sophia
It is hard to imagine, but there are lots of hotels near Hagia Sophia, literally stuck to the wall of this grand temple, one of the great cathedrals of the world. They are small three star hotels with a few rooms and cozy atmosphere. The most important thing is the room price is very low.
