Sultanhan Hotel - Special Class

10/10 Excellent

"The location of this hotel was excellent. It is close to all the key places of visit, Grand Bazaar and loads of eating joints"

Cityloft 161

10/10 Excellent

"I rated excellent cause i didn’t want to affect your rating. We booked and a big delay happened in London airport which caused a 100 flight cancellation. So we missed our hotel booking and the hotel didn’t want to put our booking on hold. This is poor customer service when you don’t have a suitable accommodation for your customer."

Hampton by Hilton Istanbul Airport, Arnavutkoy

10/10 Excellent

"Easy access to the airport, comfortable, convenient, quiet. The windows could use a cleaning on the outside but that’s being picky. Great buffet breakfast, very friendly staff. Also pro tip- great restaurant right across the street for Turkish kebab, lahmacun etc."

Wyndham Grand Istanbul Kalamis Marina Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Si nous pouvions, nous donnerions 10 étoiles à cet hôtel. Malgré le confort, la plupart des hôtels laissent souvent quelque chose à redire, mais pas celui-ci. Que ce soit le confort des chambres, la beauté du design, l’emplacement calme mais avec tout ce qu’il faut à proximité, la politesse et l’efficacité des employé(e)s… tout est excellent. Un merci particulier à messieurs Anday, Ümit et Özgür, qui ont fait preuve d’un excellent service pendant le séjour. Également à messieurs Adem et Barış, qui nous ont facilité le jour du départ avec nos bagages. Merci à tout le personnel. Merci Wyndham, et sans aucun doute à bientôt, pour une quatrième venue."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Merkez?

The best time to go to Merkez, Istanbul, is during the spring (April to May) and autumn (September to October) months.

During these periods, the weather is pleasantly mild, with fewer crowds than in the peak summer months. This makes it ideal for exploring Merkez's central attractions, such as Taksim Square and Istiklal Avenue, without the intense heat or the shoulder-to-shoulder foot traffic. You'll find it more comfortable to stroll through the Grand Bazaar or visit the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque.

Travellers seeking a more relaxed pace and comfortable touring conditions will particularly appreciate these seasons.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline − this is often within 24 to 48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our 'Fully refundable property' filter during your search to find the right Merkez hotel for you.
