You are going on a holiday or you have to book a hotel room for your business trip in Istanbul. Istanbul is the richest city of Turkey, also with its number of hotels and residences. You can find rooms starting from 15 Euro up to 1000 Euro. If you can use the internet well, you can find good deals for the rooms you wish to stay in.
Before you make a reservation, you could have a look at our recommendations below and get the best prices for the rooms. Then you can spend the money you saved for enjoying the beauties of Istanbul.
Tips to find good prices:
- Discounted Prices on Sundays
Usually on sundays in İstanbul, the room prices go down and you can find a good deal by checking the hotel’s SPECIAL OFFERS on their own website.
The hotel you would like to stay at could be at the right location regarding your interests. But keep in mind that the prices of the nearby hotels go up when there is a big fair in the area.
- The Month of Ramadan
The month of Ramadan could be considered as one of the lowest seasons of Istanbul. If you plan your trip in Ramadan, you will definitely catch a good deal and still be able to enjoy Istanbul.
If you have your trip planned in advance, then you can save up to 30% by making an early booking. The similar policies apply both in airline companies and hotels. It’s very likely to pay more for the same room when the reservation is made within days. Don’t forget the rule: ‘the last one is the most expensive one’.
- Websites for ‘Last Minute Reservations’
I like to use this method a lot! Sometimes we might wait for the very last minute to get the best price. The websites and mobile apps like Lastoda.com, otelsondakika.com are very convenient. They offer you the best prices that you won’t find elsewhere.
In the 21st century in Istanbul, you can find good deals in the online market. You can search for rooms through the world wide known web sites like booking, expedia. The best advantage of online booking is that your reservation will be guaranteed. You can also compare the hotels in the same location.
- Choosing the Right Location
Istanbul’s crowd and heavy traffic is not a tale but a reality! Almost 20 million people, taxis, mini-buses, buses, metro-bus, shuttles, trams, etc… Every day, millions of people spend their precious times in the hustle and bustle of the city. If you don’t book your room in the right location, you’ll sacrifice a lot of time and money in Istanbul! For example if you like to see the old town of the city but you book a hotel in Avcılar, just because of the price, then you’ll spend the money you saved on taxis etc.
- Price over Quality
If you are looking for quality, don’t forget the read the comments in Tripadvisor.com. No bad service can be kept as a secret no more! It’s always a waste of time and money to buy a low-quality product.
It’s highly recommended to use the ‘Customer Loyalty Programs’ if you usually stay in the same location. You can collect points and use them to get free services or gifts. The hotel can keep track of your likes and special needs and you can take the advantage of having a tailor-made service.
10. ‘Best Price Guaranteed’
If you see this quote ‘Best Price Guaranteed’ then it means no other online agency can give a better price. Most of the hotels offer the best price on their own website.
