About

Istanbul Family Apartment

Istanbul Family Apartment sits in the heart of the old city, roughly 25 minutes on foot from the Suleymaniye Mosque and even closer to the Grand Bazaar and Hagia Sophia. The property operates as a comfortable 3-star base with a terrace, garden furniture, and a mix of one- and two-bedroom apartments that suit families or small groups.

The apartments come with practical touches like kitchenettes (electric kettle, cookware, dining table), washing machine, and air conditioning and heating. A bar serves breakfast, and the staff are repeatedly singled out for their friendliness and local advice. The hotel also offers parking, valet service, and a paid airport shuttle, making it a convenient launchpad for exploring Istanbul.
