This hotel is well located in Old Istanbul and ideally located for the main tourist sights. It is only a short walk to the Blue Mosque about 7 mins at a slow pace. You also have access to the Trams that take you across the city to see other sights like the Grand Bazar. It is 2tlr to travel as... More

We stayed 5 days (4 nights) in this Hotel we had booked on the Best Western website. We chose a room overlooking the Marmara sea and really, we have not disappointed : the room was not very large but very comfortable, clean and with a good bedding and a nice private bathroom. The view, particularly at the sunrise was splendid.... More

Situated along the Maramara sea on the Kennedy road, the hotel is very cozy. The rooms are not that big but its comfortable. Try to select the sea facing rooms as on the other side there is nothing to view ! The location is good, its very close to the Topkapi Palace, and the old Istanbul are is pretty nearby.... More

This hotel is only if you want to woke up in the morning to an excellent view of the sea. Other than that there is noting their. The location is not great. The room is very small and not clean. Sleeping quality is not the best as you get a double size bed. More

There was 3 of us sharing a well appointed and modern triple room with ample space. We had a quiet room with a balcony overlooking the Marmara Sea. It also had a flat screen tv with a good selection of channels and a mini refrigerator. The bathroom was like new with amenities such as bedroom shoes, loofahs, soaps & shampoos.... More

Istanbul is a crazy city, full of people and full of life. But, if you don't want the craziness to follow you back to your room, the Best Western Citadel hotel is a nice place to stay. It's quiet for the most part, except one night where someone ordered room service at 2 am and ended up having a conversation... More
