Best Areas to Stay in Istanbul | FULL ACCOMMODATION GUIDE 2024

The best area is Shishane Beyoglu. It is 5 mins walking distance away from Istiklal and Galata and much less noisy than Galat . We stayed at Aspera Golden Horn and 3 of us shared a room with breakfast included for 6 nights and 7 days. It was quite affordable and metro station was right below our hotel. We put in 250 dollars each and did all our sightseeing including Topakkapi Galata Blue Mosque Hagia Sophia , transport and food in this budget. And we ate quite well including Nusrat and nice Places

Wonderful video.... Soo much details... Wow

Glad i found your videos. Vusiting istanbul in a few weeks. Taking the overnight train from Bulgaria, Sofia. Reading reviews of hotels. Tbey sound scary

Can you recommend any hotels in the Galata neighborhood?

Hello, I love your videos...I like to visit Istanbul for the 1st time may be between end of December - early January this year (will try to convince my family of FIVE with 3 older teen girls?!)! Question I think you did not cover in this video (if you covered already, please let me know with a link?) is how much CASH you need to carry? Or most touristic area accept Visa/MC too? Thanks!

Am curious about outside Istanbul suburbs far far away from touristic areas. The end corners of istanbul

This video helped me alot with my incoming holiday in Turkey.

super helpful - thanks a lot!!

Hi

We are planning to come to Istanbul in October and plan to stay Peradays Kamer Hatun Mah. Hamalbasi Cad. 32, Beyoglu
Will this be a good location for a family who wants to stay away from the noise?
Also, what kind of temperature will be there in Oct

Thank you so much
Keep up the good work

I am going to Istanbul with my 2 year old baby, he will be in the stroller/pushchair. Where should I stay? How is moving around the city with the stroller/pushchair like? Do metro, buses and cruise ship tours have space for pushchairs/strollers? Or do taxi come with baby car seat upon request? Please give advise.

Hello Bery. Could you please describe in few words the difference to stay for few days in Karakoy X Sirkesi X Galata X Arkisin ? Thank you very much !

Só...Taksin X Galata ?

Hello Bery. I am confuse about 2 areas to stay. Galata X Arksin. Is Galata locate on a hill ? Thank you !

Any recommendation hotel in Asian side that not up road or down road (I mean on flat road.)?

What place is good for food?

we are planning to visit Istanbul, can you or anyone recommend a good hotel?

Let me tell you my experience in Istanbul. Stayed in The Story Hotel Pera in Karakoy. You can literally smell the history and feel the ottoman soul there. Staff was extremely helpful and kind,they will guide you for everything. Location is at the heartbeat of Istanbul. You can get anywhere easily. All the taste worthy restaurants you need is near. What else would you expect ? (:

I love your videos. I thought I saw a transportation video you made in Istanbul? I am trying to find the least expensive ferry from the European side of Istanbul to Kadikoy. Thank you so much!

Can't tell if she's Turkish or Mexican

Besiktas or Kadikoy

Hi. Very informative video. I'm planning to visit Istanbul with my family in April this year.
In terms of affordability and safety which area is better to stay- Taksim, Galata or Cihangir??
A reply would be much appreciated.

What area would you recommend a Conservative family to stay for a year or more. Somewhere with nice modern apartments and parks for kids.

First of all thank you Bery. Great work.. I am planning 7/8 days trip in May'23 from India and started looking after your videos.
Need to cover all your videos as they are like encyclopedia for tourists to Turkey.
Good if you can provide any suggestions for solo traveler for 7/8 days .

Suggestion on where to stay if I'm just looking for a relaxed coffee at a cafe, local spice/markets, turkish bath/hamam type experience? Not into nightlife maybe I'll go do the touristy stuff one day but mostly just the slow paced and relax vibe. It will be my first time to Istanbul.

Where would you recommend staying for someone who is solo travelling for the first time?

Hi. What do you think of staying in Atasehir for the first time visitor visiting Istanbul for 5 days please? Or is it better to chose a hotel in European side? Thank you

Love ur videos, I have learn soo much I am planning to visit Stambul, would you b interested in being our guide, me and my friend planning to visit Turkey ❤️

This is the best video I've seen so far! I'm going to Istanbul in 2 weeks and haven't planned anything bc I've been so confused on all the videos and articles and tiktoks I've seen with recommendations, and this really narrowed it down so well with the pros and cons. Thank you!

Do they have any gentleman club in Istanbul?

Which airport can I use for departure in Istanbul?

I stayed in Besiktas for a month, it was a bit of walking from the center but i started to like it, and the most i liked was that there are no tourists in Besiktas, it's only you and the locals. Now i'm staying again for a week but closer to the center, so my advice is wherever you stay, stay closer to the center of that area but not inside. And the prices are good, no tourist traps. I also stayed for a month in Buyukada, it was brilliant but is not practical for a tourist.

Istanbul is an amazing place to visit one of my favorite cities. It’s perfect for shopping for objects around the home. But these a lot of people who don’t treat tourists very nice & force you to buy things. It’s the cheapest city I’ve ever been to.

greetings from thessaloniki very helpfull video thank you

I'm heading to Istanbul in December any cheap places around,away from scams and pricey stuff,thank you

Thank you so much for this video! going here soon :)

Hey I'm moving in November with family and Istanbul is our first priority. Which neighbourhood do you suggest? Our budget is 5000 to 6000 TL

I saw you used kart and museum pass. But many people say to have a tourist pass… I am so confused . Hope you will help

It's depends where you want to stay ?

Ayub sultan is best

I booked in Sultanahmet because i have a one year old and i dont want us mostly traveling from one place to another. Which place do u suggest? Sultanahmet or Kadikoy?

Some say tha Fatih is the worst part to stay because is too touristic, expensive and the food is bad.

Thank you Bery! Your channel is amazing it’s a shame I found it out late! I’m still looking through your videos so I’m not sure but I have one question. I’m planning a trip to Izmir then Istanbul; do you have any videos on where to stay in Izmir? Or can you recommend any channel where I can find it?
