Sirkeci is one of my
favorite places in Istanbul.
You can walk five minutes and be at the many terminals that launch
ferries to the Asian Side, the Princes Islands, up the Golden Horn and to many
ports along the Bosphorus, all the way to the edge of the Black Sea.
There must be nearly 100 small hotels, almost all 3 star,
family-operated places that have clean, quiet, well-located rooms for about $50
USD per day including breakfast and taxes.
There is a tram stop in Sirkeci that will take you to Topkapi
Palace, Sultanahmet Plaza and just about anywhere you want to be in the old
city.
It also crosses the Galata Bridge and takes you as far as Kabatas
in Beyoglu.
The subway line is close by as well.
Glamour Hotel is an excellent budget hotel in Sirkeci.
