About

My Holiday Time Hotel

My Holiday Time Hotel sits in the heart of Istanbul’s historic Sultanahmet district, a 12-minute walk from the Basilica Cistern and just 350 metres from the Kumkapi Fish Market. The 2-star property keeps things simple: free Wi-Fi throughout, public parking on site, and a 24-hour reception that guests repeatedly praise for its helpfulness.

Rooms are newly renovated, with parquet floors, flat-screen TVs, and air conditioning. Several have views over the city, and the terrace is a favourite spot for breakfast with the Blue Mosque in the distance. The staff – many of whom double as receptionists – are frequently singled out for going beyond the call of duty, from early check-ins to arranging airport transfers.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Basement rooms are an economy option — The Economy Basement Double Room is the budget choice, so expect less natural light and a more enclosed feel.
  • No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, this isn't the place – the policy is strictly no pets.
  • Limited on-site parking — While parking is available, it's public parking on site, which may be in high demand in the busy Old City area.
  • Check-in starts at 13:30 — If you arrive earlier, you might have to wait or ask the staff for an early check-in (which they sometimes manage).

The bottom line

For travellers who want to be in the middle of Istanbul's historic heart without the price tag of a luxury hotel, My Holiday Time Hotel delivers on the essentials: a spotless room, a genuinely welcoming team, and a location that puts the city's greatest hits on your doorstep. The trade-offs are small – no pets, possible parking constraints, and a slightly late check-in – but the consistently high guest ratings suggest they're easily outweighed.

8.3A smart, friendly base for exploring the Old City.
