Need a cheap apartment in central Istanbul next summer. Websites?

Question

For a week only. 2 adults, 2 children who could share a room/double-bed. Doesn't have to be a fancy holiday-type flat, more like what a student or local resident would have. Beyoglu, Carsika, Beyazit, Kucukpaza, Unkapani, Aksaray, Taksim, Fatih - somewhere like that?

Answer 1

Here are 2 very different reviews for (I feel) a lovely Hotel called Central Palace Hotel - I loved it!

You can checkout many different area on the website I have listed below and the reviews are very helpful when trying to decide - Hope this helps you!

I just came back from Istanbul where I stayed at the lovely Central Palace Hotel for 4 days to celebrate my 50th birthday.
I really loved this hotel. I was upgraded to a special room, which was huge, beautifully decorated and very comfortable. It was a twin room, with a large couch and a working area. The room had a fitness bycicle ( which I didn't use beacuse I am a bit lazy, lol). The bathroom was large, filled with marble, a jacuzzi tub, great quality and large towels, sleepers and nice robes. Everything was very luxurious, yet sober.
Staff were the best I ever found in any hotel, from the moment I contacted them for reservations, very friendly and helpful, always willing to answer our questions or requestsl. To my surprise, when I entered the room I had a wonderful birhtday cake with my name on it and lit candles , along with two bottles of mineral water. I was touched with it.
Maids always kept the room clean and shiny. There is a business center on a lower floor with 3 pcs providing free internet to guests.
Breakfast was excellent and plentiful, a large selection of cold and hot things, different breads, pasties, etc.
The location is very good, just a couple of minutres walk from Taksim Square. It also is a good value for money so I highly recommend it to anyone travelling to Istanbul. It's a great and beautiful hotel!


This is a small boutique hotel on a relatively quiet street of fTaksim Square. We had a regular room which was quite small, although the bathroom seemed to have been recently upgraded and was quite luxurious.
The front desk staff was a bit cold, very quiet and hard to understand. We never got a wake up call we requested. They do not cash traveler's checks, although a bank is pretty close by.
It was fine, but with all the choices of hotels in Istanbul, we wouldn't stay here again.

You'll find description and contact details on this website.
To book for next summer you'll need to send an e-mail to the landlord.

Under the following adress you'll find a real estate agent specialized on appartments in the Beyoglu area with several properties for short-term let. Be as specific as possible in your inquiry to them, so that they can provide you with all the information you need by e-mail as the biggest part of the website is in Turkish only.
