Good to know: hotels in Istanbul
Sultanahmet is where you go for the big sights. Beyoglu/Karaköy suits bars and galleries, Besiktas sits right on the Bosphorus, and Kadiköy on the Asian side tends to give you better local value.
In low season (Nov–Mar), expect roughly €50–90; in high season (Apr–Oct), more like €80–160.
Istanbul Airport (IST) is 40 km out (metro M11 or Havaist bus, 60–90 min). Tram T1 cuts through the old town, and ferries cross the Bosphorus all day.
The quieter edges of Sultanahmet and Besiktas work well for families: short walks, Gülhane park, and ferry rides that usually end up being the kids' highlight.
