The Dersaadet Hotel Istanbul is a cozy, upscale property set in a remodeled 19th-century Ottoman-style inn. Though it's set on a non-touristy street, it's just minutes' walk from Istanbul's historic center and main attractions. Guests can expect a particularly warm welcome, and interiors are plush and traditional throughout. A charming rooftop terrace serves an extensive breakfast alongside Blue Mosque and sea views. While top-level rooms also share the views, some rooms are small with poor soundproofing. There are no health facilities or spa on-site; check out the slightly pricier Dosso Dossi Hotel Old City for one of the better hotel hammams.

This small mid-range hotel with the intimate feeling of a bed-and-breakfast offers 11 good-sized, charmingly traditional rooms on an unmemorable street that's walking distance to Sultanahmet's popular sights. The amenities and facilities are limited (there's no full restaurant, for example, just a free breakfast), though this is also true at many similar hotels in the area. Guests frequently rave about the friendly, personalized service as something that sets the Muyan Suites apart. It’s a bit cheaper than the comparable Hotel Amira, but lacks that hotel’s roof terrace.

The four-and-a-half pearl Levni Hotel in Istanbul's Old City has an indoor pool, full-service spa, and panoramic views of several top tourist attractions. The 75-room hotel, spread over six floors and in two buildings, is a rarity in a city with generally much smaller properties offering fewer amenities. The Levni has a stylish restaurant that offers traditional Ottoman and Western food, and serves a free breakfast in its atrium with wonderful views. Guest rooms are a bit dark, but modern and comfortable, with minibars. For a hotel with an outdoor pool, visitors could try the slightly more expensive Marmara Taksim.

Angel's Home Hotel is located in Istanbul's historic Sultanahmet district, close to many of the city's best-known tourist attractions, like the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque.

The Arden City Hotel is an upper-middle-range property in the central tourist district of Istanbul that melds contemporary and traditional design. Its 43 rooms have stunning views that include the Hagia Sophia mosque and modern amenities like flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi, though noise can be an issue. The highlight here is the lovely rooftop restaurant with views of the Bosphorus and several key tourist attractions -- most a short walk away. There's also a British-style pub near the lobby, plus the hotel serves a free buffet breakfast and offers drinks and treats upon check-in. Decor here might be a bit flashy for some tastes, with gilt-coating on many surfaces and other kitschy elements; for a property with a more coherent and up-to-date look, travelers may prefer the mid-range Peradays.

The two-pearl Yazar Hotel is a budget-friendly option for couples and families looking to be within walking distance of Istanbul’s most historic and popular attractions. Its 20 turquoise-colored rooms include flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, air-conditioning, and safes. But some complaints have been made concerning mold or moldy smells and bothersome noise from the street and other rooms. The hotel has a few features such as a free breakfast buffet, a rooftop terrace, and free Wi-Fi. It may be worth checking the prices at the Sultanahmet Hotel, which also has a good location near attractions.

The Avicenna Hotel is a three-and-a-half-pearl property that has an enviable location in the historic district, close to major attractions like the Blue Mosque and the Hagia Sophia. Decor throughout is traditional and a touch quirky, and may not jibe with all travelers' taste. While the hotel faces the Bosphorus, not all of its 48 guest rooms have the best views. Some have private balconies, but all are comfortable and cozy, with parquet wood floors and minibars. There's a top floor restaurant and bar, along with a pretty breakfast room where a free continental breakfast is served. Compare rates and amenities at the nearby Hotel Amira Istanbul, which adds a small spa and a rooftop terrace.
