The seaview rooms are well worth it. There are lots of restuarants nearby. Taksim is a great place to stay. The staff are very polite. The rooms are dated, but clean. The hotels I stayed at were priced in Euro's, but you pay in TLs. If you're concerned with currency fluctuations bring cash or have reservations quote you in TLs.

Three of us spent four nights here in mid-April. The hotel is fairly clean, the rooms are small and the staff are helpful, the breakfast is typical Turkish with a good selection of eggs, breads, and it's in a good location. Close to Taksim Square and Istiklal Caddesi. And yet it was quiet! Good view of the Bosporus and urban... More

This hotel is a hidden gem located in the best section of Istanbul. The rooms are not luxurious but neither are the prices. It includes a sumptuous breakfast and has a rooftop lounge. The staff are fantastic - so helpful, kind and courteous. Stay here if you don't demand luxury.

Breakfast included Turkish breakfast as I like.The rooms are small, but I did not expect more space for such price.The only thing that confused me is cleanliness. Definitely the hotel needs more thorough cleaning. I... More

I stayed in Cihangir Hotel after recommendation of a very close friend of me who stays there every time she visits Istanbul. The hotel is in the best possible convenient location. It is in Cihangir area, just 5 minutes walk to Taksim Square, far away from tourist trap hotels of Sultanahmet. Taksim square is the best place to stay in... More

We have been staying at 2 rooms with a Bosphorus view at Cihangir Hotel for 4 days. Its a nice, very clean and confortable hotel in a very silent neighbourhood. We choose rooms with Bosporus view: The view of Bosporus from the terrace of our room was breathtaking both during day and night. The accommodation was absolutely amaizing and the... More
