Would highly recommend the Buhara Family Inn for young women travelling to Istanbul for a few days. We were travelling as two women and found the hospitality and location of accomodation to be perfect. The staff are very helpful. In particular, Illyus helped translate for us when booking a Hammam, and also booked us a taxi to the airport. He then went above and beyond, and was awake at 4am with us to make sure the taxi arrived/ we were up. There is also an amazing complimentary breakfast which was fabulous, and with an excellent view of both the ocean and the Blue Mosque. The location is super close to major historical landmarks, so great for a short stay. Would highly recommend, we felt very supported and safe!
