Frequently asked questions
What is the best area to stay in Istanbul?
It depends on your plans. Sultanahmet suits travellers who want to walk to the historic sights, Taksim is best for nightlife and transport links, Şişli and Harbiye work well for business trips, and Kadıköy offers a more local experience.
How do I get from Istanbul Airport to the city centre?
From Istanbul Airport (IST) take the M11 metro to Gayrettepe and change to the M2 metro, or use the Havaist buses. From Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) there is the M4 metro and Havabus. Taxis are available at both airports.
Are there Istanbul hotels with free cancellation?
Many hotels offer refundable room options. The free-cancellation deadline is shown with each rate, and you can use the "Free cancellation" filter in the search results to list only those options.
Why can't I see hotel prices without choosing dates?
Hotel prices are set live for your check-in and check-out dates, the number of guests and your nationality. That is why we show current, bookable prices once you pick your dates.
Are there taxes or fees to pay at the hotel?
If any tax or fee must be paid at the hotel, it is shown separately as "payable at the hotel" in the booking summary before you pay.
