The stay

Editor's notes

Extra fees & things to know

Breakfast is excluded on some rates; several guests describe a mismatch between their booking confirmation and the hotel's system, so confirm breakfast in writing at check-in. Pool cap about €5. Bookings made in euros being charged in Turkish lira at check-in, with unfavourable conversion, appears in more than one review — settle the payment currency in advance. Smoking in a non-smoking room: one-night penalty. Children's meals are not included in package rates.

Holiday Inn Istanbul City

Istanbul · Fatih · ★★★★★

A 203-room IHG hotel beside the Theodosian land walls in Topkapı, with a T1 tram stop at the door for direct rides to Sultanahmet and an outdoor pool that is rare in the old city. Public areas feel updated, but guests often describe the rooms as dated.
