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 The Charm Hotel - Old City sits, and how far things are
The hotel stands on Koçibey Sokak in the Fatih district of Istanbul, postcode 34096. Measured in a straight line, Bodrum Mosque is about 0.3 km away and Laleli Mosque about 0.4 km, so both are the closest landmarks to the property.
Farther out, Süleymaniye Mosque is about 1.3 km away, the Sultan Ahmed Mosque about 2.1 km, Hagia Sophia about 2.3 km and Topkapı Palace about 2.7 km, all in a straight line. Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) is about 32.3 km from the hotel.
From a 15 m² single to a 100 m² garden-view apartment
The rooms split into two clear groups. The standard tier is compact: the Standard Single Room is 15 m² with one twin bed and sleeps up to 1, while the Standard Double Room is 17 m² with one double bed and sleeps up to 3, which makes it workable for a couple with a child even at that size.
The deluxe tier gives more space. The Deluxe Double Room has one queen bed in 25 m², and the Deluxe Triple Room has one queen bed and one twin bed, also in 25 m². Both take a city view, as do all the standard rooms.
The outlier is the Apartment with Garden View: 100 m² with one queen bed, three twin beds and two sofa beds, and the only room in the house with a garden view rather than a city view.
| Room type | Size | Beds | Sleeps | View |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Single Room | 15 m² | 1 twin bed | up to 1 | city view |
| Apartment with Garden View | 100 m² | 3 twin beds, 2 sofa beds, 1 queen bed | – | garden view |
| Standard Double Room | 17 m² | 1 double bed | up to 3 | city view |
| Deluxe Double Room | 25 m² | 1 queen bed | – | city view |
| Deluxe Triple Room | 25 m² | 1 twin bed, 1 queen bed | – | city view |
What is on site, and for whom
The hotel has a restaurant and room service, so eating in the evening does not depend on going out. A lift serves the building, which matters in a city hotel and to anyone with heavy bags or limited mobility.
A paid airport shuttle runs to and from the airport, an alternative to making the roughly 32.3 km journey to Sabiha Gökçen by other means. Among the hotel's other facilities are a terrace and a garden, air conditioning, heating and non-smoking rooms, plus a 24-hour front desk and daily housekeeping.
For families, the combination of children being allowed, family rooms and the 100 m² apartment makes the property a practical choice. For a solo traveller or a couple on a short stay, the standard and deluxe rooms cover the usual needs at a smaller scale.
Check-in, check-out and house rules
Check-in is from 14:00 and check-out until 12:00. Children are allowed at the hotel. Pets are not allowed.

Who it suits, and who it should give pause
The hotel suits solo travellers, couples and families who want a straightforward city hotel in Fatih with a restaurant, room service and a lift, and who value having a paid airport shuttle for the long haul to Sabiha Gökçen. Families or groups of adults sharing should head straight for the apartment, since it is the only room with enough beds and space for several people.
It is less of a fit for anyone travelling with a pet, since pets are not allowed, and travellers set on a large room with a specific view other than the city or garden views described should weigh the room types carefully before choosing. Beyond the apartment, the rooms are on the small side: 15 to 17 m² in the standard tier.
