About
Hotel Torun Istanbul Old City
Hotel Torun Istanbul Old City sits in the Topkapi district, roughly 10 minutes by tram from the historic heart of Sultanahmet. The T1 line, which runs right by the hotel, connects directly to the main sights and to Ataturk Airport. Guests consistently mention the convenience of the location and the warmth of the staff, making it a practical base for exploring Istanbul on a budget.
The hotel keeps things simple but comfortable. Rooms are soundproofed and come with heating, flat-screen TVs, and tea and coffee facilities; many also open onto a garden view. On the ground floor you'll find a garden area and a leisure/TV room, and services like laundry, dry cleaning, and tour assistance are available on request.

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.
