Location

Istanbul, Fatih

Kemal Paşa Mah., Gençtürk Cad. Şirvanizade Sok. No:11, 34134 Fatih/İstanbul

Rail transit · 309 m

Istanbul Airport (IST) is about 45 km away, 37-50 minutes by car; Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) is about 50 km, more than 1 hour depending on traffic. Public transport connections to both airports are possible from Yenikapı via Marmaray and metro transfers.

The hotel is in Fatih, between Laleli and Şehzadebaşı, on Şirvanizade Sokak, which opens onto Gençtürk Caddesi. Süleymaniye Mosque is 12 min, the Grand Bazaar 15 min, Sultanahmet Square about 2 km (3 tram stops). Vezneciler metro station is 7-10 min, the Aksaray tram stop 6 min, and Yenikapı Marmaray station within walking distance. Vehicle access to the area is restricted between 10.00 and 18.00 (exit is free); if arriving by car, plan your timing accordingly.

The stay

Editor's notes

Breakfast & dining

The open-buffet breakfast is free and served from 07.30 to 10.30; reviews particularly praise the breakfast and the service staff. The hotel has a snack bar and 24-hour room service; for dinner, there are many restaurants within walking distance in the Laleli-Şehzadebaşı area.

Noise & sound insulation

As the hotel sits on a side street away from the main avenue, reviews find it notably quiet; rooms have soundproofed windows. The Laleli area is commercially busy by day; light sleepers can ask for upper-floor rooms on the rear side.

Parking & transport costs

The hotel's own parking could not be confirmed in the sources; since vehicle access to the area is restricted between 10.00 and 18.00, those arriving by car should use the paid car parks nearby and plan their arrival time accordingly.

Extra fees & things to know

Breakfast is free; other meals, the minibar and massage are paid. As there is no extra bed or crib option, additional occupants cannot be planned for. Airport and regional transfers can be arranged for a fee; clarify the price with reception.
