Colwyn,
We are going to Istanbul in ealy may for 3 days. What site are you looking at for hotels. I have been reading the recommendations avidly. Starman - we want to do the tourist stuff, so with only 3 days we want to be in the heart of the tourist area and are going to have to pick & choose what we see - but we will be back!!!!
Can't wait & though I would love to do it in 5* luxury we have too much going on to justify it so good value is on the cards.

I am going to a conference so I am following the list of conference hotels. Hilary is also coming and I will be paying for her hotel costs - which makes the Hilton look a bit expensive! We have stayed in the Sultanahmet area before and done much of the essential tourist stuff except for the Topkapi (which was closed).

We can certainly recommend the Obelisk,its a Best western with fantastic views over Bosphorus.It is in Sultan Ahmet.Double room price, per night, 189.00 euros.But we booked through E bookers and achieved 60% discount, this may not be available May?

Thanks Monique.

try using booking.com for hotels in ist. i find them very good for hotels when staying there.

I have used booking.com too and found it quite good, but sometimes if you find a Hotel deal and then contact the Hotel yourself you will get a better deal.  Found this when we booked for Istanbul, it was the cheapest option to book directly with the Hotel.

In the end I booked into the Nippon. This is described as Japanese minimalist style. I'll let you know what I think after my stay.
