Five advantages of the hotel on the main pedestrian street in Istanbul, Turkey
Istiklal is the westernmost street in Istanbul. Being non-stop open for tens of thousands of tourists, it sparkles, fascinates, pulses, strikes. You will find here dozens of movie theaters, hundreds of cafes and restaurants, fashion shops, clubs, famous fish markets and many, many other things. If you like nightlife, entertainment and parties, you need to stay at Istanbul hotel on Istiklal. We’ll tell you about the main advantages of the hotel next to this famous pedestrian street.
Location
Of course, this is the main plus of any hotel on Istiklal. Istiklal itself is the center of Taksim area, which is in turn the center of business and entertainment in Istanbul. It offers prestigious offices for rent, here are the best and most fashionable restaurants located and this is where the middle class lives. From here you can admire stunning views of the Golden Horn. Finally, many city attractions are located in Taksim.
Price
Most Taksim hotels have four or five stars. As a rule, they are luxurious and comfortable hotels with appropriate prices. But the main point is that there are a lot of three star hotels on Istiklal (this is probably the only place in Taksim with lots of 3 star hotels). So living here is not so expensive. You can even save when choosing a hotel close to Istiklal Avenue.
Sightseeing
For some reason it is considered that all the sights of Istanbul, related to the history of this unique city, are located in Sultanahmet district. This is a fallacy. Architectural monuments can be found also in Laleli shopping area and Taksim. For example, at Istiklal you can see the Russian consulate, the soil for which... was carried from St Petersburg. That means the building stands on Russian soil, so it is the territory of Russia. Also in Taksim you can see the monument of Independence, a few fine old mosques, the Galata Tower (just go down a few hundred meters to reach it), the cannon yard Tophane...
Transport
Taksim is connected with all Istanbul areas - both Asian and European. Going down the hill of Taksim will take you two minutes by the funicular railway. It is considered to be a part of the underground, and the ticket costs only 1,5 TL.
Service
Like all Istanbul hotels, hotels near Istiklal are of much higher quality than in Europe. The price-quality ratio is one of the best in the world.
