Excellent staff, excellent location. We got a free gift at the end and treats in the room on arrival. Breakfast was fantastic with both hot and cold options, and there was a delightful spread of snacks and tea/coffee during the afternoon as well which was included. The room was great with high quality beds, and there spa facilities available also.

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. 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. 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.

    The location was absolutely perfect — just a 10-minute walk to iconic sites like Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and Topkapi Palace. The area is surrounded by great restaurants and shops. The tram station was only 8 minutes away, making it easy to travel across Istanbul. The staff were super friendly, helpful, and made us feel very welcome. The hotel was clean, cozy, and overall exceptional.

    Hotel was nice and clean, the hotel staff were amazing and so welcoming. Our flight landed in the evening and the hotel accomodated easily. Perfect location, as the blue mosque, hagia sophia and topkapi palace were all within walking distance. It only took us 1 minute walk to get to the blue mosque. Price is very good considering it is so close to the tourist spots, would definitely stay here again!

    The hotel boasts an excellent location, just steps from Topkapi Palace and Hagia Sophia. Getting there from the airport was simple via the HVIST-11 bus. The staff were exceptionally friendly. The bed was very comfortable and the room was cleaned regularly. The breakfast was good. Overall, it was an ideal choice for a 3-day stay to explore the old city.

    Location is perfect to visit most of the attractions of Istanbul (no longer than 40 mins by foot to go to Basilica Cistern, Hagia Sophia Grand Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Blue Mosque, Grand Bazar, ...). Reaching the hotel from the Istanbul IST airport is very easy: it takes about 1 hour by a couple of metros (M11 and M2), and is very cheap (no need to take expensive taxy). Once you reach Yenikapi metro station, the hotel is 5 min by foot. Rooms were clean and quiet. Staff very kind.

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.
