Palmetto Lady Posted January 2, 2011 #2 Share Posted January 2, 2011 We loved the Sirkeci Konak in Istanbul. It is convenient to the major tourist attractions and their service is outstanding. I found it through Trip Advisor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CintiPam Posted January 2, 2011 #3 Share Posted January 2, 2011 We stayed for three nights at the Sirkeci Konak two years ago, and also loved it. The rooms are nice, but nothing all that special, but the staff and service are fantastic. One tram stop or 10 minutes walk to Sultanahmet Square. We now have stayed twice at Al Ponte Mocenigo, once four years ago and once in late April 2010. The co-owners are wonderful, friendly, helpful people, only 50 flat yards walk from the St. Stae vaporetto stop, lovely courtyard breakfast, away from the craziness of San Marco, but a nice walk (and even nicer Grand Canal vaporetto ride)! Ranked #2 on sister website tripadvisor for the past couple of years. Very reasonably priced for Venice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palmetto Lady Posted January 3, 2011 #4 Share Posted January 3, 2011 If you can afford it, book a Deluxe rooms. They are considerably larger than the standard ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amer_can Posted January 4, 2011 #5 Share Posted January 4, 2011 We also were there in May. Good time of year!!We stayed at Tash Konak. Were very pleased with the hotel, staff, price, location and airport pickup. Also, on a whim booked Backpackers tours, 2 half day and one river tour..Our guide, named Deleit (sp?) was a gem...Check out website turkeytravelplanner.com for excellent advise..Istanbul is awesome!!!

john2003 Posted January 5, 2011 #6 Share Posted January 5, 2011 We stayed at the Hotel Nena a couple of years ago and thought it worked very well. Depending on the length of stay at that point they offered free shuttle for the airport and port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APFBarb Posted January 6, 2011 #7 Share Posted January 6, 2011 going on this cruise in may and would like some hotel suggestions for istanbul, we plan on arriving 3 days before the cruisethx.:cool: We were on this cruise in October 2010. We loved the Witt Istanbul Suites. Great staff and huge rooms. If you are looking for a hotel in Venice - we also loved the Antiche Figure - near the train station and on the grand hotel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no fuss travel Posted January 6, 2011 #8 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Go to Trip Advisor forum. You will get some excellent feedback on hotels in Istanbul. They seem to advise to stay at a boutique hotel rather than one of the big chains, as the boutique hotels are located where the sites are and you can walk to them.
