Istanbul ... anyone?

Has anyone been or know anything about it?  My sister has to go for business next month and my mom is going with her.  They are looking for hotels but are having a hard time figuring out where the "European" side is ... well not so much which side but when they look at a hotel they can't determine which side it's on.

Any help is appreciated!!

Re: Istanbul ... anyone?

  • I went last September.  Virtually all of the hotels are on the European side.  The Asian side is mostly homes.  Virtually all Westernized hotels you're looking at (e.g. W, Marriott) are on the Euro side, although most were a little far from all the sightseeing.

    We stayed at this B&B and LOVED it: Ahmet Efendi Evi.  It's the highest-rated B&B in Istanbul according to Trip Advisor.  It's slightly out of the way (a 10-minute walk from the Blue Mosque) but well worth it for the amazing service provided by the couple who run it.

    No. 31 Cankurtaran Mahalesi
    Sultanahhmet - Istanbul

    The other people we traveled with stayed at:
    Ebusuud Caddesi No: 18-20
    34110 Sirkeci-Istanbul
    tel: +90 212 528 1343
     
    It's a small hotel right next to the Blue Mosque and also very close to a great British pub.  They have a Turkish bath there that DH and I went to.
     
    I have tons of pictures and reviews if you want to see them -- e-mail me at blue925 at hotmail dot com and I'll give you the info.
     
  • Thank you so much!!! YGM!
