The hotel is within walking distance of many of the main attractions. It is an easy walk across the bridge to the “new Istanbul” on the Asian side of the Bosphorus River. Our room viewed this very beautiful little area over the river at night. Although the room was small it was what we expected . We watched the ships and ferries come and go from our bed. The room was very clean and comfortable. It could be serviced each day if you required. Each morning we enjoyed a delicious and varied breakfast of both hot and cold dishes which were sweet, savoury and of course some Turkish .The staff were always friendly and helpful.

Simply amazing! We spent a week at the Golden Horn Bosphorus Hotel for our celebration. Best team we have met in many years of traveling. Friendly, yet professional, they go above and beyond to please the client. They made us feel like family and made our celebration even more special. The hotel is brand new. Clean, classy, and comfortable, and the view is phenomenal. Complementary coffee, tea, water, and little sweets on the house, anytime a day. Perfect location. We will be back! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

We recently stayed at Downtown Sirkeci Hotel and had a wonderful experience. The rooms were spotless, with comfortable beds that ensured a restful night’s sleep. The breakfast buffet offered a great variety of delicious options every day, ensuring there was something for everyone. The hotel also impressed with its spacious and fast elevator, which made getting around the building easy and efficient. Additionally, the location is fantastic — conveniently close to all the main attractions, making it easy to explore the city. What truly made our stay memorable, however, was the exceptional service. A special thank you to Mr. Fouad, who went above and beyond to help us recover a suitcase we had forgotten at the airport. He was always available and answered our questions with a friendly smile. I’d also like to express my gratitude to Mr. Ahmet for his helpful tips.

Topkapi Palace

The home of Ottoman sultans for hundreds of years, Topkapi Palace is part of Istanbul’s UNESCO World Heritage Site. Dating back to 1459, this sprawling royal residence once covered a huge stretch of the shore – and even had its own hospital, mint and mosques within the walls. Now a museum, it displays some of the most important artefacts of the Muslim world.

Ensure that you schedule enough time to visit.

Ensure that you schedule enough time to visit. The recommended time is not enough to spend time with everything. Ensure that you include Harem as part of your tour. An absolute must see to appreciate the rest of the tour

i know the country is struggling and that they also have to do what they can to reduce the hordes tramping through Topkapi, but you have to be on the level of the British Museum or the Louvre with a once-in-a-lifetime traveling exhibit to justify these kinds of prices. I'm very interested in Turkish history as well as an archaeology buff and it didn't merit the investment. i think they should cut the price in half, offer a steep discount for seniors, and cut off ticket sales at a certain volume each hour.

1,700 lira per person, payable in cash or card (debit/credit) in TL, Euros, or USD. The free audio guide requires you leave your passport as deposit (not $), so be sure to bring yours. There is only one place inside that require women to wear a shawl and they have freebies you can use at the entrance to those rooms. The harem is included in this price, NO need to pay an extra 600 TL. Budget at least a good couple hours just to tour the place.

Too expensive ticket, but if you enter, do eat before entering and grab with yourself a bigger bottled water. There is no place to get a water inside, one spot sells drinks at multiple times the normal price. The trip may last around 3 hours so eat well beforehand. Really recommend going early, as later in the day and after 2 + hours after opening, it gets too crowdy.

1500 Liras per person in June 2024.

1500 Liras per person in June 2024. We had to pay this price for kids aged 7, 9 and 11 as well. You only get discount if you show passports. Overpriced and too many people. Museum is worth visting but not at that price.

What guests said about Topkapi Palace:

Walk everywhere possible.

Walk everywhere possible. Visit Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Basilica cisterns and Topkapi Palace but go as early as possible as they get very crowded. For a trip on the Bosporus get the public ferry from under the Galata bridge to the last stop and go up to the castle and then get last ferry back to Istanbul. The first ferry is at 10.35 and the ferry back is at 3ish. It is very reasonable but there is no commentary but we thought it was excellent but be early to get a good view and position on top deck. We found the best restaurant to be Amedros. We went two times and the food is excellent and good value and the staff friendly attentive.

If you go to Topkapi Palace it is worth paying for a guided tour in order to appreciate it. Audio guides are available but in my experience these are often disappointing. The rooms are often empty and there is limited information to read. A guide brings the place to life.
