Independent hotels in Fatih, Istanbul

"Super friendly staff, very helpful. Property is clean, very convenient and walkable distance to all the surrounding attractions. Breakfast was great in the roof terrace with the fantastic view"

"We had a wonderful stay at GLK PREMIER Acropol Suites & Spa! We’re a family of four with older kids, and the room was spacious and comfortable for all of us. The sofa beds were just fine for our 5-night stay. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our visit. One pleasant surprise was that the hamam experience is included—we didn’t know beforehand, but they offer guests one hour per day to enjoy the sauna and traditional Turkish bath, which was such a relaxing bonus! The location couldn’t be better. The hotel is just a short walk from the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, the Basilica Cistern, and the Arasta Bazaar—a charming little market that’s easy to explore. Staying here was the best decision because we were able to walk everywhere without the stress of figuring out transportation. Breakfast was delicious every morning, with a great variety to start the day. Thank you to the entire team for making our stay so enjoyable! We’d definitely recommend this hotel and would love to come back. "

"The AJWA Sultanahmet is a beautiful 5-star hotel located conveniently near the Grand Bazaar and Blue Mosque. The rooms are phenomenal and the staff is caring and attentive. The food is excellent and the spa is a nice place to unwind. Highly recommend! "

"The Carina Gold Hotel is FABULOUS!!! First, the staff is warm, friendly and incredibly helpful. Second, the hotel is clean and comfortable. The air conditioning works well and the breakfast is worth the earlier wake up. Finally, the location can’t be beat. There hotel us between two tram stops, one right around the corner. A short walk to Aya Sophia and a convenient walk to the Grand Bazaar (the tram stops will lead you to the Spice Market, Karakoy, or the docks to Asia in less than 15 minutes). I would recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to enjoy their trip to Istanbul."

"Seven Hills was the ideal and affordable choice for this solo traveler. I booked one of their single traveler rooms, simple but had everything I needed: bed, private/not shared bathroom, desk, small fridge, coffee/tea, a safe and space for hanging clothes. Also liked that it had a window that opened to outside to hear the sounds of the city (and call to prayer 5x/day). Location is the best!! less than five min walk to Blue Mosque, Haga Sofia, Islamic Art Museum, Cistern, railway, restaurants, markets, etc. And while I chose the simpler accommodations since I knew wouldn't be in the room much I did see other rooms that were plush and beautiful. My particular room was next to the elevator and had quite a bit of noise from the lobby just bring earplugs it will be fine. Front desk staff friendly and helpful too. Don't miss sunset at the rooftop restaurant, try for a Window seat. The food is mediocre and the service not great BUT best view in town!! "

"Very clean hotel. Close to tram station and metro station is five minutes walk away. Across the doad is modern shopping mall with a food court with good selection of food joints. "
