Top 5 cheap hotels with best view in Istanbul, Turkey

High rating, beautiful views. This is exactly what I expect from Rast Hotel Sultanahmet. It's an incredible luck that such a hotel will be available to me in Istanbul. The rating is indeed high, the interiors are beautiful, and it is located only 650 meters from the Grand Bazaar. Great!

Rast Hotel Sultanahmet has several options for views from the rooms. There are views of the narrow old street, the Hagia Sophia, and the surrounding trees. It’s beautiful and there is a lot to choose from! I liked the eastern style interiors of the rooms – you feel different right away. I would choose a deluxe room with a view of the city. A great option! There is also a suite with a jacuzzi and a view of the Hagia Sophia – that option is beyond my budget. But I can still take a walk to the cathedral.

The hotel has one important advantage for me – breakfast in a buffet format. It is also served on a terrace with a view. It is so beautiful here! The city opens up like a palm. By the way, it is convenient that you can order food directly to your room, and request a transfer service to the hotel. I understand that Rast Hotel Sultanahmet is a three-star and inexpensive hotel, so I do not expect spa or any other luxury services here.

Rast Hotel Sultanahmet seems to me a wonderful choice for a vacation in Istanbul. More precisely, it would be a vacation with a view. It appears to be a small hotel, but it has everything, and the location is absolutely amazing. All the main historical attractions are nearby: the Ancient Egyptian Obelisk, the German Fountain, the Basilica Cistern, and others. Excellent!

I chose Hotel Empress Zoe not only for the views but also because it fits perfectly within my budget. Moreover, breakfast is already included! Only two stars, and meanwhile, it is close to the Hagia Sophia and a luxurious inner garden. I like it!

The rooms here — are absolute delight! Beautiful, richly furnished, and what luxurious interiors! There is a lot of natural materials used in the design, wood: floors, bed, wardrobe, and more. I loved it! As for the views, the hotel is located in a small building on the corner. From here, there are views of the city and the Hagia Sophia. Excellent! Also, Hotel Empress Zoe has its own luxurious garden.

I mentioned earlier that breakfast is included with the stay at the hotel. They serve it here in a continental style – tasty and familiar! The main thing is that I won’t have to run around in the morning looking for food. Although I found a café nearby with Turkish food. Great! I should stop by.

Beautiful hotel, and the garden fills me with incredible delight. The views from Hotel Empress Zoe are also excellent! A great place within walking distance of many famous attractions. For example, the Topkapi Palace and the Istanbul Archaeological Museum are just 750 meters away.

Nabu Hotel seems to be made for relaxation! I looked at the photos and immediately decided that I would love to come back there to sleep every evening. All these dark muted colors seem to be created just for that. Awesome!

The hotel is located very close to the sea, on a quiet street in Istanbul. From the windows of the modern rooms at Nabu Hotel, you can see the city and its attractions. I love this kind of view - the feeling that you are becoming a part of Istanbul's life. Great! I have just selected a deluxe room with a balcony, where I will greet the morning with a cup of fragrant coffee.

There is a restaurant at Nabu Hotel — and it's very convenient. Yes, while traveling, I want to see more new places, but sometimes I hurry home faster to take a shower and relax. The restaurant, where I can order breakfasts, lunches, and dinners, is a great solution! If I’m really lazy or extremely tired, I can also order delivery to the room😉

I liked the Nabu Hotel for its modern style. However, in Istanbul, I increasingly find hotels in the eastern style. Especially in the budget category. Sometimes I really want some variety!

I found another good option, and it reminds me of a trip to visit relatives. Hotel Garden House — a wooden hotel in a 19th-century building that looks cozy even from the outside. I'm impressed! It is located a five-minute walk from the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. Excellent!

Rooms in Turkish style, where the interiors are decorated with fabrics and natural materials. I really like it! According to reviews, guests love it so much that they return to Hotel Garden House again and again. It seems I will be able to join this enthusiastic group! The hotel is not tall, so you won't see panoramas, but you can enjoy the Turkish street and the garden on the premises. I am thrilled!

There is a restaurant on the premises and, as I mentioned earlier, this is a great value for me. I can have breakfast in the morning, and even outside surrounded by tall green trees. It's so wonderful! Also, at Hotel Garden House, I will definitely take advantage of the transfer services. This hotel is so conducive to relaxation that I don't want to look for transportation on my own at all.

I love such cozy, atmospheric places. It creates a feeling that there is a pleasant smell of home, wood, and the sea around. After all, there are balconies in the rooms from where you can see the sea. I like it!

Bright in every sense, Kybele Hotel attracted me not only with its location but also with its interiors. Very beautiful! Cozy and stylish. Overall, the entire area seems very appealing. Within a few minutes' walk from the hotel are many famous attractions of Istanbul: the Grand Bazaar, the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and others.

The rooms are small and quite boldly furnished in a Turkish style. I wouldn't want to live in such a place, but staying here during a trip – there is definitely something to it. It's interesting that even in the smallest room, there are many bright chandeliers on the ceilings. Unusual! The view from the rooms opens either onto a colorful street or a cozy inner courtyard. It's lovely there, it suits me!

In summer, Kybele Hotel becomes a wonderful place: you can sunbathe in the garden, enjoy refreshing drinks. And there is also a library in the hotel! It seems that everything has been thought out for the comfort of the guests. I like it! Every morning, a traditional breakfast is served in the bright restaurant with outdoor tables. In such a place, there is sheer pleasure. I generally prefer not to rush and enjoy, and here you can get lost in the beauty of everything around!

I liked Kybele Hotel for its unique vibrant style. While I was writing, I even forgot that my goal was the views from the rooms. And the hotel's location is truly wonderful! But I would prefer to enjoy the inner courtyard or the colorful street myself😉
