Top hotels in Sirkeci
The Ritz-Carlton, Istanbul
Excellent best service.

Swissotel The Bosphorus Istanbul
A hotel that concentrates on corporate clientele. The garden rooms overlook a noisy corporate events facility so opt for a room in the east wing if you want peace and quiet. Food very good but very overpriced as we’re the drinks.
