Top 5 Istanbul Budget Hotels
There are many choices in the budget range in Istanbul but some are less than ideal or far from the center. But don’t worry – we’ve collected a list of 5 of our top choices in Istanbul that offer
great value in this exciting city.
Hotel Sultan’s Inn
This lovely hotel is situated in a calm area of town but still only a short walk from many of the major sights in Istanbul. It is a sweet option among Istanbul budget hotels and offers guests simple rooms and a spectacular roof deck with views of the city. Expect wood furniture and bed with four posters. All in all the rooms are small but comfortable and this is an excellent choice if you want a cheap hotel with a little character thrown in. www.sultansinn.com
Boutique Hotel Riva
This simple and unassuming place is a great choice among Istanbul budget hotels if you want basic accommodation without a hefty business class hotel price. Rooms are straightforward and clean with lots of light and there is even a bar in the downstairs lounge where you can relax after a tough day of sightseeing in the city. The staff is especially friendly and helpful for tips on where to eat and what to do in Istanbul. www.boutiquehotelriva.com/tr
Poem Hotel
Another hotel boasting a roof terrace, this is nice choice among Istanbul budget hotels. It is decorated in Ottoman style and looks out onto a splendid garden, which is a pleasant reprieve from the hustle and bustle of the city. The Poem theme is part of the charm here – every room is name after a Turkish poem. The structure is a late 19th century home and offers a lot of local flavor for this price range. www.hotelpoem.com
Naz Wooden House Inn
This is a one of the most gorgeous places to rest your head among Istanbul budget hotels. It is a ancient Ottoman house and contains traditional furnishings throughout. Several rooms are considered standard but it is worth upgrading to one of their special rooms like the Cave room (with a curved, Byzantine roof) or a room with a balcony or water views. There is also a lovely roof terrace, great to unwind and relax. http://nazwoodenhouseinn.com/
Erboy Hotel
With great amenities for this price, this hotel gives you incredible value for money. Rooms include free wifi, hot drinks and safe, a rarity among Istanbul budget hotels. There is also a restaurant on site and a roof terrace, and the location is extremely central. Oh, and did we mention the blues bar? It is a fun and popular place to hang out. L rooms were renovated in 2011 so you get excellent, upscale rooms without a large bill at the end of your stay. www.erboyhotel.com
