How we score
Each score is worked out by code from the facts this page shows, never from guests’ ratings or a writer’s opinion, and is given as 1 to 5 dots.
Near the sights: how close the nearest listed sight is, and how many are within 1 km. Rooms: the room sizes we show and how many types there are. Facilities: how many kinds the hotel lists (dining, pool or spa, fitness, front desk services, comfort and access). Wellness: spa, hammam, sauna, steam room, pools, gym and massage.
A score is left out when the hotel’s facts are too few to judge it.
Near the Sokollu Mehmed Pasha I Mosque and Hagia Sophia
Hotel California sits in Fatih, Istanbul, at Binbirdirek Mah. Gedikpaşa Cami Sk. No 49/888 AP, postcode 34126. The immediate surroundings hold several of the city's best-known monuments: the Sokollu Mehmed Pasha I Mosque is about 0.3 km away in a straight line, the Sultan Ahmed Mosque and the Basilica Cistern each about 0.5 km, and Hagia Sophia about 0.7 km. Topkapı Palace and the Süleymaniye Mosque are both about 1.2 km away.
For onward travel, Sirkeci railway station is about 0.9 km away. Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) is about 30.8 km from the hotel and Istanbul Airport (IST) about 34.1 km, both in a straight line. The hotel runs an airport shuttle, which is paid.
From a 13 m² double to the 25 m² triple
The hotel has four room types, and the differences are mostly about size and bed count. The Standard Double Room with Courtyard View is the smallest at 13 m², with one queen bed and a courtyard view; it suits a couple who plan to spend their days out rather than in the room. The Standard Twin Room with Courtyard View, at 16 m² with two twin beds and the same courtyard view, works for two travellers who prefer separate beds.
The Economy Single Room, 15 m² with one twin bed, is the option for someone travelling alone. Only the two Standard rooms with courtyard views have a view stated; nothing is said of a view for the Economy Single or the Standard Triple.
| Room type | Size | Beds | Sleeps | View |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Double Room with Courtyard View | 13 m² | 1 queen bed | up to 2 | courtyard view |
| Standard Triple Room | 25 m² | 1 twin bed, 1 double bed | up to 3 | – |
| Economy Single Room | 15 m² | 1 twin bed | up to 1 | – |
| Standard Twin Room with Courtyard View | 16 m² | 2 twin beds | up to 2 | courtyard view |
What is on site
The property is a hotel rather than a guesthouse, with a lift serving its floors. Eating options on site are a restaurant and a snack bar. An airport shuttle is available for a fee, useful given that both of Istanbul's airports are roughly 30 km or more away.
Among the hotel's other facilities are WiFi, air conditioning, non-smoking rooms, a 24-hour front desk and a shared kitchen.
Rules: check-in, children, pets and parking
Check-in is from 14:00 and check-out until 12:00. Two restrictions shape who can stay: children are not allowed, and pets are not allowed. The hotel is therefore an adults-only property in practice, whatever the room categories suggest.
There is no parking at the hotel, so anyone arriving by car will need to arrange parking elsewhere. The hotel does offer car hire among its services.
Who it suits and who it does not
It does not suit families with children, since children are not allowed, nor anyone travelling with a pet. It also does not suit travellers arriving by car and expecting to park on site, as the hotel has no parking.
