Astra Boutique Hotel  

In Sultanahmet's Demirtas — the old 'Venedic' traders' quarter — a short stroll from the Spice Bazaar, Grand Bazaar and Süleymaniye Mosque. Metro is about 3 minutes away, tram about 8 minutes, Bosphorus ferries 5 minutes, and the hotel offers views of the Bosphorus, Galata Tower and the Golden Horn.

Housed in an 1882 building lovingly renovated in 2013, the hotel preserves its original character while offering warmly decorated rooms with showers and thoughtful comforts. The owners run it like a home in Istanbul and have been sharing local tips since 2008.

Stop by the on-site restaurant, book excursions at the tour desk, or use the transfer service for easy sightseeing. Free Wi‑Fi, an elevator and preserved period details make it a cozy base to wake up to Golden Horn or Bosphorus views.

Free Wi‑Fi throughout the property and fast access to public transport make planning and working on the go simple.

There’s an on-site restaurant for casual meals, and the owners are happy to point you to the best nearby markets and authentic local eateries.
