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). Families: whether children are welcome, and family rooms, a kids’ club or pool, a playground, babysitting. 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.
Where SkyLife OldCity Hotel sits, and how far things are
SkyLife OldCity Hotel is an aparthotel on Taya Hatun Sokak in Istanbul, postcode 34122. It stands about 0.4 km from Topkapı Palace in a straight line, with several of the city's best-known landmarks close by: Hagia Irene about 0.5 km, Hagia Sophia and the Basilica Cistern about 0.6 km each, Sultan Ahmed Mosque about 0.9 km and Süleymaniye Mosque about 1.3 km.

The hotel has three room types, all compact. The Standard Triple Room, at 18 m², pairs one double bed with one twin bed and looks out over the city.
With children allowed at the hotel and family rooms among its offerings, it is the natural choice for a family; the Standard Triple Room suits three adults who prefer separate beds without taking the larger room.

What the hotel offers
As an aparthotel, SkyLife OldCity Hotel gives rooms rather than apartments, but keeps a few services beyond them: a bar, family rooms and a paid shuttle service.
Beyond these, the hotel covers the practical side of a city trip, from connectivity to check-in.
Check-in, check-out and house rules
Check-in runs from 14:00 and check-out until 12:00, which allows a full morning before departure. Children are allowed. Pets are not allowed, so anyone travelling with an animal needs a different hotel.
Who it suits, and who it does not
Families fit well: children are allowed, and the Family Room's one double and two twin beds give parents and two children their own beds.
It does not suit pet owners, given the no-pets rule. Nor does it suit anyone expecting resort-style facilities or space to spread out: the rooms run from 17 to 22 m².
