About

Liberty Hotel - Istanbul

Liberty Hotel - Istanbul is a 3-star property tucked into Sehzadebasi, a busy central district of old Istanbul. The building is given over to simple, functional rooms with air conditioning, heating and city views, plus free Wi-Fi throughout. It is a working hotel rather than a design statement, and the price reflects that.

The location is the main asset. From the doorstep you can walk to the Aksaray tram stop in about five minutes, and the Sultanahmet district with its major monuments is within strolling distance. Breakfast is served on site, and the staff are consistently described as cooperative and welcoming.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Central, convenient base — A short walk from the Aksaray tram and close to Sultanahmet, with shops and restaurants nearby.
  • Friendly, helpful staff — Guests repeatedly describe the team as cooperative and welcoming, with some speaking Russian.
  • Good value — Rooms start from £14, making it one of the most affordable options in the area.
  • Solid breakfast and amenities — Breakfast gets positive mentions, and free Wi-Fi, mini-bar and safe are provided.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Basic rooms — Rooms are functional rather than polished – carpeted floors and simple furniture – which may not suit travelers expecting more style.
  • No pets allowed — Travelers with pets will need to look elsewhere.
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in only runs from 13:00 to 23:59, so late-night arrivals (after midnight) will need to plan ahead.
  • No on-site parking — There is no parking listed, which may be inconvenient for guests driving in a busy city.
