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.

A bar, room service, evening entertainment and a paid airport shuttle
This is a hotel geared to leisure and family stays rather than extensive resort facilities. There is a bar, room service, and evening entertainment, and family rooms are available. Facilities for disabled guests and a lift serve the building.
For arrivals and departures, the paid airport shuttle can be arranged, and the hotel also has meeting and banquet rooms if a trip includes a work element.
What it offers instead is a compact base with the essentials, plus extras such as a tour desk and walking tours among its other services.
Check-in, check-out and house rules
Check-in is from 14:00 and check-out until 12:00, which allows a full morning before leaving. Children are allowed. Pets are not allowed, so anyone travelling with an animal needs a different hotel.
There is no parking at the hotel.
Who it suits and who it should not choose it
The Star Holiday Hotel suits travellers whose priority is being near the Sultanahmet monuments, with the Basilica Cistern about 0.1 km away in a straight line and Hagia Sophia and the Sultan Ahmed Mosque about 0.3 km.
It suits less well anyone who wants generous rooms. It is also not a choice for pet owners, or for drivers who need on-site parking.
