I found a parking, but it costs 350TL. It was necessary as I was travelling by car.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Apple Tree Hotel enjoys a superb location, just a short walk-around 350 meters-from both the Istanbul Marathon finish line and iconic landmarks like the Blue Mosque. Guests appreciate the generous and delicious breakfast, sometimes mentioning the rooftop terrace with Marmara Sea views as a highlight. Rooms are generally considered spacious and clean, although a few guests have noted occasional issues with door mechanisms. With its proximity to a tram line, exploring other parts of the city is also convenient.

useful locationgenerous breakfasthelpful stafftrain tracks

The location proved useful. The breakfast was generous with many options. The staff helped me with transport. The fridge allowed personal food storage. I was grateful to use the room fridge for my own things.

There was a slight problem of noise because my room faced the train tracks which slightly impacted my sleep.
