What’s the best area to stay in Istanbul? I’ll be there 2 times: 4 days in Aug and another 4 days in the beginning of Sep. Should I do half of my stay in European side and another half on Asian side? Any particular areas there? Thanks

The Four Seasons is also a good location.

If on vacation stay at any hotel in front the bosphorous... Jw Marriott, Novotel or Shangri-La

The Novotel has construction going on in front of it blocking some of the views to the river.

Taksim Square - I loved the Grand Hyatt there but there are lots of choices. Still close to the main tourist sites but a bit more city/local feeling

JW Marriott Istanbul is one of my favorite hotels worldwide, and amazing location

Found the Novotel next door dinner to be worth every Lira!

I loved the Asia side. It’s cozier and feels more neighborhoody. I did 4 nights in Europe and 3 nights in Asia and that was perfect for me. Super easy to get to either side but staying there and witnessing the night life in both sides was great. I stayed at hostels bc I was dirt poor when I visited so no area recs but enjoy!!

If you're looking for a hostel (not for everyone, I get it) the Cheers Lighthouse Hostel in Sultanahmet is awesome
