Cheap Hotels in Istanbul
Istanbul is perhaps one of the most unique and fascinating cities to visit on earth. As the only city that straddles two continents, both Europe and Asia, it has a alluring blend of Eastern and Western cultures. Vibrant markets allow you to shop from hundreds of vendors, and buy speciality items like shoes and spices. It is much more affordable than many other European countries, so it’s a great choice for a traveller on a budget. Some of the greatest historical landmarks are found within the city, including the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and the Basilica Cistern. These buildings, along with the fact that Istanbul was once the capital of the Roman Empire, is why the city has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site as well as being a 2010 European capital of culture. There are countless great affordable hotels to choose from in Istanbul, but here are three popular choices.

Sultan's Inn: This hotel is a friendly, charming and quiet residence with only 17 rooms, each one private with an individual bathroom. It is located just outside of the Sultanahmet area, which is ideal. Sultanahmet is where all the major historical landmarks and attractions can be found, and can easily be reached by foot from the Sultan's Inn. While the hotel is small, it offers amenities like an al fresco breakfast, 24 hour reception, laundry services and a travel desk that can arrange tours for you. Without a doubt, the best aspects of the hotel are the close proximity to the sites and the impressive views from the rooftop terrace.

Tashkonak: This hotel is also located in the Sultanahmet district, and a mere 300 meters from the Blue Mosque. The hotel is quaint and old fashioned, but with a traditional and comfortable atmosphere that is typical of the area. Staff are attentive and friendly, making sure each guest staying in the 34 rooms is well taken care of. The amenities include a currency exchange, travel desk, lockers, a restaurant and even a car park for guests. The best reason to stay is the fact that the Tashkonak is mere meters away from the Blue Mosque, Topkapi Museum and the Grand Bazaar.

Melita: The Melita hotel offers a modern and contemporary hotel just outside of Istanbul's city centre. They offer airport transfers, a car park, lounge, internet access and a restaurant.
