About

Hotel Torun Istanbul Old City

The T1 line, which runs right by the hotel, connects directly to the main sights and to Ataturk Airport.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Not in the tourist centre — The hotel sits in Topkapi, a bit away from the main sights and nightlife. You'll need to take the tram to reach Sultanahmet and the old city.
  • Basic facilities — Some guests describe the hotel as basic, with minimal extras. It's a functional stopover rather than a destination in itself.
  • Mixed opinions on area — While some find the area convenient, others note that it's not particularly lively, and you'll need to travel for dining and entertainment.

“A normal place, not far from the center of Istanbul, but shops are quite cheap. There's a shop with the cheapest baklava I saw in the city. Good for one night and for low-budget travel.”
