There are four main hotels districts in istanbul
1-Taksim
2- Sultanahmet
3-Sirkeci, Eminonu
4-Aksaray, Laleli, Sehzadebasi. -
Sirkeci (district 4) is a business area and in the evening and night it is very quiet
and almost no one is around and it is not very good area to walk in the evening. -
Aksaray area (district 3) Most of the
Russian and Romanian prostitutes in istanbul are staying in that area.
Taksim and Sultanahmet are the best areas to stay
in istanbul. There are many nice old hotels in Sultanahmet, most of those hotels were old ottoman family houses and lately
they have been renovated and turned into hotels. the good thing about staying in sultanahmet is taht it is close to most of
the historical sites, and bed thing about it is too touristical prices are little higher and in the evening is is far from
the night life and little boring in teh evening and night,
Taksim is the heart of istanbul and here you can see more local
life, especially if you like night life and social life you should saty in Taksim. All of gay bars, clubs, hamams are in Taksim
square area and Istiklal street is the first pedestrian street in Istanbul and Turkey. it is the main street in taksim where
all the clubs bars restaurants are and it is busy untill 4:00-5:00 am.
There are no any gay hotels in istanbul, for safety
reasons mostly you are not alowed to bring your Turkish guest to your room in Turkey . That does not mean that a tourist and
a Turkish person can not stay in same room together. it is definitely no problem to stay with your turkish freiend in any
hotel, if you chek in together with your Turkish friend or if you register him too at the hotel. in no any hotel in istanbul
or anywhere else in Turkey you will have any problem or will be not welcome because you are gay. if you want to book your
hotel online, dont to it through any travel agencies in istanbul or through any other web page other than hotel's own web
page. Just go to hotel's own web page and make your reservation directly by the hotel, this is also cheapest and safest way.
