They say that Istanbul is a completely different Turkey. Hotels on the coast are nothing like the hotels in this city, and the rest of the country offers a completely different vacation experience. We have already been to hotels with "all inclusive," and now we want to enjoy history and walks around the Old City. We are going to Istanbul with family! The image galleries and prices get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on November 01, 2024.

A small hotel located in the Fatih district with quick access to all attractions.
Family adjoining rooms will give the children, who are already a bit older, some freedom. Let them think they have a separate room, but we know they are always under the watchful eye of their parents right behind the door. One room has a double bed, while the other has two single beds.
There is a very interesting structure 300 meters from here that I would like to visit – the Basilica Cistern. The Hagia Sophia is 10 minutes away.
The price includes breakfast, and guests say it is more similar to a Turkish breakfast than a European one. But that's just a plus!
A long day of walks should end with something even more enjoyable. For example, a SPA: the hotel has a sauna and a hammam, as well as massage services.
The tired interior in the rooms, but personally, it doesn't scare me.
The city center - simply a great location.

The hotel is located near the center, and its main advantage is the picturesque view of the sea and the port.
In the triple room, the whole family can comfortably stay. There are three single beds, two of which can be requested to be replaced with a double bed. An excellent option for a family with one child.
The hotel is located near the Old Town. It is a 20-minute walk to the Grand Bazaar. To reach the famous Hagia Sophia, you will need to take a tram; the stop is 700 meters from the hotel.
Get ready for a Turkish-style breakfast with a view of the sea and passing ships. I can already anticipate my delight in this!
Hammam and indoor pool - that's what you need to relax after long walks. I have no doubt that they will be long.
Small rooms - not suitable for every family composition.
Breakfasts with a view of the sea, quick access to the city center.

The Beyoglu district, where this hotel is located, will give you a real sense of Istanbul. It is more modern than the Old Town, but there are also historical landmarks here.
Family Suite for 4 or 5 people or a triple room – here you can comfortably accommodate the whole family. They are compact enough, but well-planned – zoning helps everyone to have their own personal space.
A stroll to the 14th-century Galata Tower will take just over 15 minutes. And in 8 minutes from here is the largest Catholic church in Istanbul – the Basilica of St. Anthony of Padua. Istiklal Street, one of the main tourist streets in the city, starts just 100 meters from the hotel.
There is no restaurant in the hotel, but there are many places nearby where you can eat deliciously.
The journey from Istanbul Airport will take about 45 minutes - we will have time to see the city already on the way to the hotel.
There are many bars and restaurants near the hotel, and the sound insulation of the windows is poor.

A hotel with a wide selection of family rooms right across from the Blue Mosque and near the picturesque waterfront of Istanbul. It is located on a slight elevation, offering a fantastic view of the Bosphorus.
Depending on your budget and preferences, different family rooms are available here. If you want to save money, you can choose a budget triple room measuring 34 square meters with the possibility of adding an extra bed. The deluxe family room with two double beds is suitable for a family of four. The family two-room suite with a large bed and two single beds will provide maximum comfort during your stay. We liked the first option – the kids prefer to sleep close to their parents, and we spend the whole day out and don't go into the room.
The heart of the Old Town with its attractions: the Blue Mosque, the Basilica Cistern, Hagia Sophia – all within walking distance.
For breakfast, in addition to the usual assortment, the hotel has a surprise: Turkish gözleme straight from the heat, prepared right here. When the weather is warm, the rooftop bar opens, and you can admire the city and the Bosphorus from there for a long time.
There is a private gym - however, I doubt that the kids will let us go there.
Poor sound insulation.

Senatus Hotel is located in the Sultanahmet area, filled with beautiful streets and restaurants, next to the waterfront. It can accommodate even the largest family!
The Executive Family Suite, with a total area of almost 50 square meters, features two rooms, each equipped with a double bed. There are also three sofa beds in the room – in case you decided to bring not just the kids, but also their grandmother?
The hotel is located in the very center of the Sultanahmet district. It faces a charming street where activity begins early in the morning: people come for breakfast at small and large restaurants, sip their coffee on terraces, tourists hurry to see the sights, and locals rush to work. But guests of this hotel don’t need to hurry; all the iconic places are nearby. It’s less than 10 minutes to the Hagia Sophia and just as much to the Blue Mosque.
Good news: in the morning, there's no need to look for a place to have breakfast, everything is already prepared in the hotel restaurant. Here, they offer coffee or tea, olives, vegetables, eggs, cold cuts, and much more.
Room service food delivery from the hotel restaurant, dry cleaning.
A paid transfer can be ordered at the hotel, the journey from the airport takes about 1 hour.
