About

City Hotel - Istanbul

City Hotel - Istanbul is a 3-star property with 25 rooms on Vatan Caddesi, about 2.5 km from Istanbul's Historic Areas. The hotel keeps things simple: air conditioning, TV, telephone, and Wi-Fi in every room, plus a daily breakfast that guests consistently rate as having good variety.

Location is the main draw. The metro station sits right across the street, and a short tram ride takes you into the city centre in around 10 minutes. With check-in from 17:59 and check-out by 12:00, it suits travellers who want convenience over frills.
