Okur Otel

For British or European travellers the hotel is perfect. Do not expect a Sheraton, Four Seasons etc .. BUT .... be prepared for the same courteous reception. The rooms are basic, but practical if you're going for treatments or an extensive tour of Istanbul. Cleaned daily, if required, with fresh towels and bedding. The rooms consist of your bed, or beds, tv, power points, (220v) and an individual shower/toilet/washroom. The hotel is safe and secure for belongings left out and has discreet cameras monitoring all floors. It is located a 3 minute walk from the bus terminal and ferry terminal, (ideal for trips to Istanbul), and 10 minutes walk to the hustle and bustle of Kadıköy with its shops/markets and street traders. Travel to local sightseeing locations is recommended by purchasing an Istanbul Travel Card, available from machines everywhere, closet being 3 minutes at the bus terminal. A simple 3 trip pass is as cheap as 70tl or you can buy a plastic card for 50tl that would then require topping up. You can top up as many times as you want. All transport, ferry/bus/tram/metro will only accept this payment as no cash or card facilities. I would 100% recommend the Okur Otelfor the staff, experience, location and last of all, the price! Bravo Okur Otel, I cannot wait to return as I feel you are now family. Regards William King from Oxford, UK 🇬🇧
