Topkapi Palace
The home of Ottoman sultans for hundreds of years, Topkapi Palace is one of Istanbul’s UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Dating back to 1459, this sprawling royal residence once covered a huge stretch of the shore – and even had its own hospital, mint, and mosques within its walls! Now a museum, it displays some of the most important artifacts of the Muslim world.

i know the country is struggling and that they also have to do what they can to reduce the hordes tramping through Topkapi, but you have to be on the level of the British Museum or the Louvre with a once-in-a-lifetime traveling exhibit to justify these kinds of prices.
I'm very interested in Turkish history as well as an archaeology buff and it didn't merit the investment.
i think they should cut the price in half, offer a steep discount for seniors, and cut off ticket sales at a certain volume each hour.

1,700 lira per person, payable in cash or card (debit/credit) in TL, Euros, or USD. The free audio guide requires you leave your passport as deposit (not $), so be sure to bring yours. There is only one place inside that require women to wear a shawl and they have freebies you can use at the entrance to those rooms. The harem is included in this price, NO need to pay an extra 600 TL. Budget at least a good couple hours just to tour the place.

Too expensive ticket, but if you enter, do eat before entering and grab with yourself a bigger bottled water. There is no place to get a water inside, one spot sells drinks at multiple times the normal price. The trip may last around 3 hours so eat well beforehand. Really recommend going early, as later in the day and after 2 + hours after opening, it gets too crowdy.

1500 Liras per person in June 2024.
1500 Liras per person in June 2024. We had to pay this price for kids aged 7, 9 and 11 as well. You only get discount if you show passports. Overpriced and too many people. Museum is worth visting but not at that price.

Loved the hotel! Great staff, perfect location-steps from Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace & Archeological Museum. The afternoon buffet was an unexpected delight!
Hotel location in sultanahmet district ,one minute to Aja Sofia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi palace and etc. Very cozy,clean , comfortable with great , friendly stuff.
Price is more than acceptable,if you compare with what you get.
I would recommend definitely to everyone, especially ones that likes to have all of touristics attractions near accomodation.
Clean, in a quiet area, 15 minutes walk from GrandBazaar, 30 minutes from TopKapi palace,
the apartment was large enough to accommodate a family with 3 children
Parking was on the street in front of the building
Very friendly, welcoming, and helpful staff. Central location convenient for visiting the major sights--Sultan Ahmet Camii, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, Spice Market, Galata Bridge. Remodeled hotel is modern.
Hotel location in Sultanahmet is very convenient. Walking distance to Aya Sofia, Blue Mosque, Cistern, Topkapi Palace.
Great breakfast. Very helpful staff members Mr. Unal and Mrs. Fatima.
Superb location on Sultan Ahmed,in a small lane behind Topkapi Palace and Hagia Sophia. Many seafood restaurants and shopping area around. Walking distance to the old bazaar and spicer bazaar, etc there are 3 full bathrooms on the floor I stayed. Roof top terrace has a view of the sea beyond where they serve breakfast that comes with the room price.
I recommend it! Great location, clean and comfortable. It's only a 10-minute walk from Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace and just a few minutes from the seaside promenade. There are shops and restaurants in the side streets, and the hotel kitchen is available for your use. Although it's close to tourist attractions, the location is quiet and peaceful, allowing you to relax and get a good night's sleep.
The host is fantastic and available at any time for anything you need.
This is a wonderful hotel within an easy walk of all of the sights in the Sultanahmet like the Hagia Sophia and Topkapi Palace. We had a room with a view of the Bosporus. The staff spoke excellent English and where very helpful with guidance on sightseeing and getting around. The room was very comfortable. I would stay here again. Great value for the money.
