Malakat Hotel is a great place to stay! This Airbnb listing is cheaper than their website so we booked through here. The photos are accurate and for a hotel in Istanbul, it’s quite spacious.
The jacuzzi was a great addition and we used it every night!
There are four flights of stairs and no elevator and the bathroom is a little cramped so sitting on the toilet has you pressed against the sink. While these weren’t my favorite features of the location, I didn’t mind overall.
The concierge (Asya) did a phenomenal job checking us in, telling us where to go, and giving us recommendations. The hotel is close to several restaurants and markets and a walk away from the tram station.
In the morning 8am-10am, there is a breakfast included in the cost. There is an additional cost sauna, spa ,and massage in the basement.
