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.
In Sirkeci, 0.1 km from the railway station
The Turvan Hotel stands on Hocapaşa Sk. No:36 in Sirkeci, postcode 34112. Sirkeci railway station is about 0.1 km away, in a straight line, and the New Mosque about 0.5 km. The Basilica Cistern is about 0.6 km, Hagia Sophia and Topkapı Palace each about 0.7 km, and the Sultan Ahmed Mosque about 0.9 km. The Süleymaniye Mosque is about 1.1 km away.
Both airports are some distance out: Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) about 30.8 km and Istanbul Airport (IST) about 33.7 km, in a straight line. The hotel runs an airport shuttle for a fee, which spares you arranging a transfer on arrival.
From an 8 m² single to a 13 m² room for four
The Single Room is the smallest and the simplest: 8 m², one twin bed, sleeping up to 1. It does for a solo traveller who plans to be out all day, but it is tight for anything beyond sleeping and unpacking.
The Standard Double or Twin Room has 12 m² and one double bed, sleeping up to 3, so it works for a couple and can take a third person. The Standard Triple Room is the largest at 13 m², with four twin beds and one double bed, sleeping up to 4; this is the one for a family or a small group sharing, and the hotel also offers family rooms as a category.
Note that none of the three room types is large: even the biggest is 13 m², so a group of four in the Standard Triple Room will be sharing compact quarters.
| Room type | Size | Beds | Sleeps |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single Room | 8 m² | 1 twin bed | up to 1 |
| Standard Triple Room | 13 m² | 4 twin beds, 1 double bed | up to 4 |
| Standard Double or Twin Room | 12 m² | 1 double bed | up to 3 |
Hammam, spa and sauna on site
The hotel has a spa with a hammam and a sauna, which is unusual for a property of this size and range of rooms: you can use a Turkish bath without leaving the building. Massage services are also offered.
Other facilities that shape a stay here: evening entertainment, including live music and themed dinner nights, a mobile app for room service, meeting and banquet rooms, and a lift.
Check-in, children and pets
Check-in is from 14:00 and check-out until 12:00. Children are allowed, and the hotel offers family rooms and a kid-friendly buffet, which together with the Standard Triple Room makes it workable for a family with children. Pets are not allowed, so leave animals at home.
Who it suits and who it does not
It suits a solo traveller or couple who want to be within a kilometre, in a straight line, of Hagia Sophia, Topkapı Palace, the Sultan Ahmed Mosque and the Basilica Cistern, and who value a hammam and sauna at the end of the day. Families of up to four fit the Standard Triple Room, and children are welcome.
It does not suit anyone wanting space to spread out: all rooms are 13 m² or smaller. It is not an option if you travel with a pet. Travellers who want quiet evenings should also weigh the evening entertainment and live music, though the rooms are soundproofed.
