Find quick answers to common questions about our hotel, services, amenities, and policies.
The Soul
Istanbul does not generally allow pets, as we maintain strict cleanliness and
hygiene standards across our intimate boutique property and shared spaces
such as the breakfast area, bar and Soul Garden, so that all guests can enjoy
a pristine environment.
That said, service animals required
by guests with disabilities are always welcome in accordance with applicable
regulations. If you travel with a certified service animal, please let us
know at the time of booking by calling +90 (212) 251 25 34 or emailing
[email protected] so we can ensure a smooth
check-in.
For guests travelling with pets that are not
service animals, we recommend contacting the hotel directly before booking to
discuss your situation. While our standard policy does not permit pets,
management may consider exceptions on a case-by-case basis, potentially with
additional fees and conditions. If we cannot accommodate your pet, our
concierge can recommend pet-friendly alternatives nearby and provide
information about local veterinary and pet-care services in
Beyoglu.
Yes, The Soul Istanbul has age
requirements for unaccompanied guests. Guests under the age of 18 may only
check in when accompanied by a parent or official legal guardian. This is
standard hospitality practice and reflects Turkish law, where legal adulthood
begins at 18.
When minors stay with their parents or
guardians, the accompanying adult must present valid photo identification
(passport or national ID) and a credit card at check-in, and is responsible
for the minors throughout the stay, including any charges. If a minor will be
staying with an adult who is not their parent or legal guardian, we ask for
prior notification and may request additional documentation such as written
parental consent.
For families travelling with children,
guests of all ages are warmly welcome. Specific occupancy and rate policies
for children can vary by room type and booking conditions, so we recommend
confirming the details for your reservation. If you have any questions about
travelling with minors, please contact our team at +90 (212) 251 25 34 or
[email protected].
At The Soul Istanbul we trust
our guests to treat the property with respect, and accidental damage is rare.
However, accidents can happen. If you accidentally damage or stain anything
in your room, such as linens, towels, furnishings, fixtures or equipment,
please notify the front desk or housekeeping promptly so we can assess the
situation.
For minor incidents such as a broken glass or a
small spill, these are generally absorbed as normal wear and tear and you are
unlikely to be charged. Significant damage beyond normal use, such as damaged
furniture, broken fixtures, severely stained linens or carpets, or missing
items, may result in fair repair or replacement charges applied to the card
on file.
Any charges will reflect the actual cost of repair
or replacement rather than punitive fees, and you will receive an itemised
explanation before processing. Each room is equipped with a safe for
valuables. If you notice any existing damage when you first enter your room,
please report it immediately so it can be documented and any misunderstanding
at checkout avoided. Our housekeeping team maintains high standards and rooms
are thoroughly inspected between guests.
The Soul Istanbul is a
completely non-smoking hotel. Smoking is prohibited in all indoor areas,
including guest rooms, suites, hallways, the lobby, the breakfast area and
all other enclosed spaces. This applies to all forms of smoking, including
cigarettes, cigars, pipes and electronic cigarettes or vaping devices, and is
in line with Turkey’s smoking regulations for hospitality
venues.
Keeping our restored historical building smoke-free
helps preserve the fresh, clean atmosphere that defines the hotel and
protects the comfort and health of all our guests and
staff.
Guests who wish to smoke may do so in designated
outdoor areas, including the open-air Soul Garden where appropriate, and our
staff can direct you to the right spot. Please note that smoking inside guest
rooms or other indoor areas may result in additional deep-cleaning charges,
since specialised odour-removal treatment would be required. We appreciate
your cooperation in keeping the hotel pleasant for everyone.
Yes, The Soul Istanbul welcomes
families, and several of our larger room categories work well for parents
travelling with children. As an intimate boutique hotel, our rooms vary in
size and layout, so we recommend telling us the ages and number of children
when booking so we can suggest the most suitable room and confirm whether an
extra bed can be arranged.
Occupancy and rate policies for
children can vary by room type and booking conditions, so it is best to
confirm the specifics for your reservation directly with our team at +90
(212) 251 25 34 or [email protected].
The hotel’s
location is excellent for families: the peaceful Soul Garden offers a
relaxing space away from the busy streets, and many of Istanbul’s
family-friendly attractions, from Galata Tower and the parks and museums of
Beyoglu to the historic peninsula across the Golden Horn, are within easy
reach. Our staff are happy to recommend child-friendly restaurants and
activities nearby.
Yes. All rooms at The Soul
Istanbul are equipped with modern air conditioning so you stay comfortable in
any season, whether during Istanbul’s warm summers or cooler winters, and you
can adjust the temperature to your preference. Guests in winter often note
how warm and comfortable the rooms are.</p
Yes, absolutely. Free high-speed Wi-Fi is included in every room as a standard amenity, with no additional charges or time limits. We understand that staying connected is essential, whether for business, sharing your travel experiences, or keeping in touch with loved ones. Our reliable Wi-Fi network extends far beyond the rooms, offering seamless coverage throughout the entire hotel, including all public areas.
Every room at The Soul Istanbul
is individually designed to blend the character of our restored historical
building with modern comfort. Rooms feature tasteful, nostalgic decor that
reflects the soul of old Beyoglu, alongside the contemporary amenities
today’s travellers expect.
Standard in-room amenities
include air conditioning, complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi, a flat-screen TV,
an in-room safe, a minibar, and coffee and tea making facilities with a
kettle. Bathrooms are equipped with a walk-in shower (with a bathtub in
selected larger rooms), towels, toiletries and a hairdryer. Daily
housekeeping keeps everything immaculate, a quality guests consistently
highlight in their reviews.
Higher room categories offer
extra touches such as a private balcony, a sofa and sitting area, more space,
or memorable Galata Tower views. Whichever room you choose, every detail is
arranged to create a warm, atmospheric stay that captures the spirit of
Istanbul while keeping you comfortable.
The Soul Istanbul is a boutique
hotel of around two dozen individually designed rooms, set in a restored
historical building that blends the nostalgic spirit of Beyoglu with modern
comfort. There are six distinct room categories to suit different travellers,
each with its own character.
The cosy Petit Room is ideal
for guests who want a comfortable, well-located base at great value. The Cozy
Room offers a little more space in a serene setting, while the Antique Room
with Sofa is designed for those who love the historical reflections of the
building and appreciate a sitting area.
Our Deluxe rooms
provide added comfort and space: the Deluxe Room with Balcony offers a
private balcony, the Deluxe Room with Galata View treats guests to memorable
views of the iconic Galata Tower, and the spacious Deluxe Room with Sofa on
the ground floor is the largest room in the hotel, with a bathtub. Every room
comes with free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a safe, a minibar, coffee and tea
facilities and a private bathroom.
Yes, The Soul Istanbul offers
professional laundry and dry-cleaning services for our guests’ convenience.
These services are available at an additional charge and can be arranged
easily through the front desk or housekeeping. Whether you are on an extended
stay, have a garment that needs dry-cleaning, or simply want an outfit
refreshed before dinner, our team can help.
The laundry service process is straightforward. If you require laundry or dry-cleaning services, please contact the front desk to request a laundry bag and the necessary form. Once completed, your items will be collected, professionally cleaned, and returned to your room.
The service
handles clothing, delicates, suits, dresses and shirts, with appropriate care
for different fabrics. A detailed price list is available on request, and an
iron and ironing board can be brought to your room if you prefer to press
items yourself. For extended stays or larger loads, our front desk can also
point you to nearby self-service laundromats in Beyoglu.
The Soul Istanbul is a boutique
hotel and does not have an on-site spa or wellness centre. Its charm comes
from its restored early-twentieth-century building, individually styled
rooms, a characterful bar and the calm open-air Soul Garden, a relaxing oasis
in the heart of bustling Beyoglu.
For guests who would like
a spa or hammam experience, The Soul belongs to the Yasmak Hotel Collection,
and our sister hotels in Sultanahmet, including Yasmak Sultan Hotel, offer
spa facilities, a traditional Turkish hammam and an indoor pool. Our front
desk can provide details and help you arrange a visit to the historic
peninsula.
Beyoglu itself is also home to a number of
well-regarded hammams and wellness studios within walking distance, and our
concierge is happy to recommend and book an authentic Turkish bath or massage
experience nearby so you can unwind after a day of sightseeing.
Yes, The Soul Istanbul provides
attentive concierge services through our friendly, knowledgeable and
multilingual team, available at the 24-hour front desk. Our staff know
Beyoglu intimately and love sharing local recommendations to help you make
the most of your stay in one of Istanbul’s most creative
neighbourhoods.
Our concierge can arrange restaurant
reservations, book tickets for cultural performances and shows, organise
private city tours and guided excursions, coordinate experiences such as
Bosphorus cruises, cooking classes and traditional Turkish bath visits, and
recommend the best spots for shopping, nightlife and art. We can also help
arrange romantic setups and special-occasion
celebrations.
The team assists with practical matters too,
including laundry and dry-cleaning (at additional cost), airport transfers,
car rental and onward travel bookings. Many staff speak several languages and
can point you to Beyoglu’s hidden gems beyond the usual tourist trail, from
the antique shops of Cukurcuma to the galleries around Istiklal. Whatever you
need, our team is glad to help with the warmth that defines Turkish
hospitality.
The Soul Istanbul is an intimate
boutique hotel set in a restored historical building in Beyoglu, and it does
not have its own swimming pool. What it offers instead is a great deal of
character: individually designed rooms, a welcoming bar and the tranquil
open-air Soul Garden, a peaceful retreat in the middle of the lively
district.
If a pool is important for your stay, The Soul is
part of the Yasmak Hotel Collection, and our sister property Yasmak Sultan
Hotel in Sultanahmet features an indoor pool and spa. Our front desk can
share details and help you plan a visit to the historic peninsula, which is
easily reached from Beyoglu by tram or ferry.
For most
guests, the appeal of The Soul lies in its authentic, bohemian Beyoglu
setting and its proximity to Galata Tower, Istiklal Avenue and the
waterfront. If you would like recommendations for nearby wellness, hammam or
spa experiences in the neighbourhood, our concierge will gladly point you in
the right direction.
The Soul Istanbul offers a
relaxed, boutique dining experience. Each morning we serve a varied breakfast
featuring fresh local products, traditional Turkish specialities, a generous
selection of Turkish sweets and international favourites, served in our
breakfast area to fuel your day of exploring Beyoglu and
beyond.
The hotel also has its own bar and lounge, ideal
for an afternoon coffee, an aperitif or an evening drink, and the peaceful
open-air Soul Garden is a lovely place to relax with a beverage in good
weather.
For lunch and dinner, the hotel’s prime Beyoglu
location is a real advantage: you are surrounded by some of Istanbul’s finest
dining, from traditional meyhanes and rooftop restaurants to cosy cafes and
international cuisine in Istiklal, Cukurcuma, Cihangir, Galata and Karakoy,
all within walking distance. Our concierge is always happy to recommend and
book the perfect place for any occasion, whether a romantic dinner or a
casual local meal.
Yes, The Soul Istanbul
understands that travel schedules do not always align with standard hotel
times, and we are happy to accommodate early check-in and late check-out
requests whenever possible. Both are subject to room availability and may involve
an additional charge depending on timing and demand.
For
early check-in, we recommend contacting us as soon as you know your arrival
time. You can reach us by phone at +90 (212) 251 25 34, mobile/WhatsApp at
+90 (533) 158 59 55, or email at [email protected]. While we cannot
guarantee early check-in, we keep a note of your request and do our best to
have your room ready.
Late check-out can usually be
arranged if you let us know in advance, subject to availability and season,
sometimes complimentary for a short extension and otherwise for a fee that is
far less than an extra night. Even when an in-room late checkout is not
possible, you are always welcome to use our complimentary luggage storage and
relax in the lobby or Soul Garden while you wait for your
departure.
Yes, The Soul Istanbul offers
complimentary luggage storage for all guests, both before check-in and after
check-out. This is especially useful for early arrivals or late departures,
letting you make the most of your time in Istanbul without carrying your
bags.
If you arrive before your room is ready, you can
store your luggage with our 24-hour front desk and head straight out to
explore. Galata Tower, Istiklal Avenue, the antique shops of Cukurcuma, the
cafes of Cihangir and the waterfront at Karakoy are all within easy reach,
and our staff will let you know as soon as your room is
ready.
Similarly, after checkout you can leave your bags
with us and spend your final hours enjoying Beyoglu, a Bosphorus ferry from
nearby Kabatas or Karakoy, or a last meal in the neighbourhood before
collecting your luggage on the way to the airport. The service operates 24
hours a day, and our front desk will provide a claim ticket for your
items.
At The Soul Istanbul, our
standard check-in time is from 14:00 (2:00 PM) and check-out is by 12:00
noon. These times allow our housekeeping team to prepare each room to our
high standards of cleanliness and comfort. We recommend confirming the exact
times for your booking, as they can occasionally vary by rate
plan.
We understand schedules do not always align
perfectly, and we try to accommodate guests whenever possible. If you expect
to arrive earlier than 14:00, please contact us in advance at +90 (212) 251
25 34 or [email protected] and we will do our best to prepare your room
for early check-in, subject to availability.
If you need to
check out later than noon, late check-out may be available on request,
subject to availability, and we recommend asking at least a day before
departure. Whether you arrive early or depart late, you are welcome to store
your luggage with our 24-hour front desk and relax in the lobby or Soul
Garden while you wait.
At check-in to The Soul
Istanbul, guests are required to present a valid photo identification
document and a credit card, which is standard procedure for hotels in Turkey
and internationally. Acceptable photo ID includes a valid passport for international
travellers or a national identity card for Turkish citizens and EU residents.
The document must be current and match the name on the
reservation.
The credit card presented at check-in verifies
your identity, can guarantee incidental charges during your stay (such as
bar, laundry or other services), and may be used for final payment if your
accommodation has not been prepaid. We accept major credit cards including
Visa, Mastercard and American Express. If your room is already paid, the card
is typically held only for incidentals.
Guests under 18 may
only check in when accompanied by a parent or legal guardian, whose ID and
credit card will be required. If someone other than the named guest is
checking in, prior authorisation and documentation may be needed. We
recommend contacting the hotel in advance for any special circumstances, and
our front desk will also confirm any transfer arrangements or special
requests during check-in.
Yes, The Soul Istanbul is happy
to accommodate special dietary requirements wherever possible. We understand
guests may follow vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, lactose-free, halal or
other diets, or have requirements related to food allergies and medical
conditions, and our team will do their best to help.
We
recommend letting us know of any dietary restrictions at the time of booking,
either through the special requests field when you reserve or by contacting
us at +90 (212) 251 25 34 or [email protected]. Advance notice allows us
to prepare appropriate options. You can also inform the front desk at
check-in.
Our breakfast spread naturally includes many
options suitable for various diets, such as fresh fruit, vegetables, cheeses,
eggs, breads, pastries and yoghurt, and our staff can guide you to suitable
choices. For lunch and dinner, our concierge can recommend and book nearby
Beyoglu restaurants that cater well to specific dietary needs, ensuring your
dining experience is both safe and enjoyable.
Whether breakfast is included
depends on the rate plan you select when booking The Soul Istanbul. Many of
our rates include a complimentary breakfast, and when you book directly
through our website at thesoulhotel.com you will clearly see whether
breakfast is included in your chosen rate, so you can pick the option that
best suits you.
Our breakfast features a generous spread of
fresh local products, traditional Turkish items such as cheeses, olives,
honey, jams, eggs, fresh bread and vegetables, alongside continental options
like pastries, fruit and yoghurt, plus a selection of Turkish sweets that
guests particularly enjoy. It is served in our breakfast area and makes a
pleasant start to a day exploring Beyoglu.
If your chosen
rate does not include breakfast, you can usually add it at the time of
booking or during your stay. We recommend including it, as it offers good
value and convenience before heading out to nearby attractions. Our front
desk can clarify breakfast inclusion for your specific reservation.
The Soul Istanbul offers a warm,
intimate dining and beverage experience suited to a boutique hotel. Each
morning we serve a generous breakfast featuring fresh local products,
authentic Turkish specialities and international favourites, with a notable
selection of Turkish sweets that guests frequently praise. Vegetarian and
vegan options are available.
The hotel also has its own bar
and lounge area, where you can enjoy a coffee, an afternoon refreshment or an
evening drink in a relaxed, characterful setting. In good weather, the
tranquil Soul Garden is a lovely place to unwind with a beverage away from
the bustle of Beyoglu.
Beyond the hotel, one of the joys of
staying in Beyoglu is being surrounded by some of Istanbul’s best dining.
Istiklal Avenue, Cukurcuma, Cihangir, Galata and Karakoy are all within
walking distance and packed with traditional meyhanes, cafes, rooftop
restaurants and international options. Our front desk and concierge are happy
to recommend and book the right spot for any occasion.
Breakfast at The Soul Istanbul is served each morning from 07:00 to 11:00 in our breakfast area, featuring a varied selection of fresh local products, authentic Turkish specialties, traditional Turkish sweets, and international favourites.
The breakfast schedule is designed to suit different travellers, from early risers heading out to explore Galata, Istiklal Avenue, and the Historic Peninsula, to those who prefer a more leisurely start to the day. The buffet is regularly replenished throughout the serving period to ensure freshness and variety.
For guests with very early departures, our front desk can advise on options such as an early breakfast arrangement or a breakfast box to take with you, where available. If you have dietary restrictions, food allergies, or special requirements, please inform our staff in advance and we will do our best to accommodate your needs.
Yes, The Soul Istanbul offers
several special packages designed to enrich your stay in Beyoglu. Our Cooking
Class package (from 60 euros) lets you discover authentic Turkish cuisine
hands-on, while the Eternity Honeymoon package (from 79 euros) and the
Romance Setup (from 40 euros) are perfect for couples celebrating something

sites.
Making a reservation at The Soul
Istanbul is simple. You can book directly through our official website at
thesoulhotel.com, where direct bookers enjoy our best available rates and
direct-booking benefits. Our online booking is secure and, on many rate
plans, requires no payment until arrival.
You can also
contact our reservations team directly by phone at +90 (212) 251 25 34 or by
mobile/WhatsApp at +90 (533) 158 59 55. Our staff are glad to help with
special requests, suggest the room category that best suits you, and answer
any questions about your upcoming stay.
If you prefer
email, send your enquiry to [email protected] and our team will reply
promptly with availability, rates and any details you need. Whichever method
you choose, we look forward to welcoming you to the bohemian heart of
Beyoglu.
Our cancellation policy is
designed to offer flexibility while remaining fair to all guests. When you
book directly through thesoulhotel.com, your reservation can be modified or
cancelled according to the specific rate plan you select. Different room
types and promotional offers may carry different cancellation terms, which
are clearly shown during booking.
In general, standard
flexible rates can be cancelled free of charge up to a certain number of days
before arrival, after which a charge of around one night’s stay may apply.
Special promotional or non-refundable rates may have stricter terms in
exchange for lower pricing.
We always recommend reviewing
the cancellation terms for your chosen rate before completing your booking.
If you need to modify or cancel, please contact us as early as possible at
+90 (212) 251 25 34 or [email protected], and our team will assist you
according to your booking conditions and do their best to help.
The Soul Istanbul accepts a range of payment methods for the convenience of our international guests. We accept cash, major credit cards including Visa, Mastercard and American Express, and Alipay. Credit cards can be used both to secure your reservation and for payment on arrival or at checkout.
When you book directly through our website at thesoulhotel.com, many rates allow you to pay on arrival rather than in advance, giving you flexibility. During your stay you can settle your account by credit card, Alipay or cash. Cash payments can be made in Turkish Lira (TRY), Euro (EUR), US Dollar (USD), and British Pound Sterling (GBP).
Yes, The Soul Istanbul provides
business facilities for guests who need to handle work during their stay. As
a boutique property our setup is intimate rather than corporate, but our
24-hour front desk can assist with printing, photocopying and scanning, and
complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi throughout the hotel makes it easy to check
email, join video calls or print boarding passes.
If you
need a quiet spot to work, our lobby and the peaceful Soul Garden offer
pleasant, low-key environments away from the busier streets of Beyoglu. For
anything beyond basic office needs, such as secretarial support, translation,
courier services or equipment rental, our team can arrange these through
trusted local providers.
Should you require larger meeting
or event space, The Soul is part of the Yasmak Hotel Collection, and our
staff can help coordinate meeting facilities at our sister hotels in the
historic peninsula when needed. Many business travellers also choose The Soul
for its convenient Beyoglu location, close to Taksim, the financial and
commercial areas of the European side, and excellent public transport
links.
The Soul Istanbul is a boutique
hotel set in a restored historical building in the heart of Beyoglu, on Faik
Pasa Caddesi in the Kuloglu neighbourhood. As is typical for this charming
bohemian district, the surrounding streets are narrow and historic, and the
hotel does not have a dedicated on-site car park or garage attached to the
property.
If you plan to arrive by rental car or private
vehicle, our front desk can guide you to the nearest paid public car parks
within walking distance and help coordinate parking. We recommend contacting
us in advance at +90 (212) 251 25 34 or [email protected] so we can share
the most current options.
For most guests, we actually
recommend not renting a car in this part of Istanbul. The Soul’s location in
Beyoglu means landmarks such as Galata Tower, Istiklal Avenue, Cukurcuma’s
antique shops, Cihangir and the Pera Museum are all within easy walking
distance, and Taksim, the metro and the funicular are close by. Beyoglu’s
steep, narrow one-way streets and heavy traffic make driving challenging. If
you need a vehicle for day trips outside the centre, our concierge can
arrange car rental or a private driver, and our private airport transfer
service is more convenient than self-driving.
Yes, complimentary high-speed
Wi-Fi is available throughout the entire The Soul Istanbul at no additional
charge. Free internet access is a standard amenity for all guests and covers
every guest room and suite, the lobby, the breakfast area, the bar and the
Soul Garden, so you can stay connected wherever you are in the
hotel.
The network is reliable and secure, with enough
bandwidth for everyday needs including web browsing, email, social media,
video calls, streaming and remote work. Many guests rely on connectivity to
keep in touch with family, share travel photos, research Istanbul’s
attractions and plan onward travel, which is why we invest in quality
infrastructure.
Connecting is simple: the network name and
password are provided at check-in, and our front desk can help if you
experience any issues. Unlike hotels that charge daily fees or cap speeds, we
provide unlimited complimentary access throughout your stay. If you encounter
any technical difficulty, our 24-hour front desk team is happy to
assist.
Yes, The Soul Istanbul offers
convenient private airport transfer services to make your arrival and
departure as smooth as possible. We can arrange transfers from both Istanbul
Airport (IST) on the European side and Sabiha Gokcen Airport (SAW) on the
Asian side, with professional drivers who meet you at arrivals, assist with
your luggage and bring you directly to the hotel in a comfortable,
air-conditioned vehicle. Transfer pricing typically ranges from about 69 to
129 euros depending on the airport and vehicle.
To arrange
a pickup, please contact the hotel in advance, ideally at least 24 hours
before arrival, by phone at +90 (212) 251 25 34, WhatsApp at +90 (533) 158 59
55, or email at [email protected]. When booking, please share your flight
details (airline, flight number and arrival time) so we can monitor your
flight and have your driver ready when you land.
Transfers
can be arranged for individuals, couples, families and groups, with suitable
vehicle options, and return transfers to the airport can be booked through
our front desk during your stay. This service offers peace of mind after a
long flight and removes any worry about arranging transport on
arrival.
The Soul Istanbul is located
approximately 40 to 45 kilometres from Istanbul Airport (IST) on the European
side, which typically takes between 45 minutes and just over an hour by car
depending on traffic. Morning and evening rush hours can extend the journey,
while late-night or early-morning transfers tend to be quicker. The hotel is
also reachable from Sabiha Gokcen Airport (SAW) on the Asian side, which is
further and usually takes longer.
We recommend arranging an
airport transfer in advance for a smooth, stress-free arrival. The Soul can
organise a private transfer at competitive rates (typically around 69 to 129
euros depending on airport and vehicle)
Yes, The Soul Istanbul has an
excellent location in the heart of Beyoglu, one of Istanbul’s most vibrant
and bohemian districts, placing you within walking distance of many of the
city’s most beloved sights and putting the rest of Istanbul within easy
reach.
The iconic Galata Tower is roughly a kilometre away,
and the famous Istiklal Avenue, with its shops, cafes, galleries and
nostalgic tram, is only about an 8-minute walk. Taksim Square, the Pera
Museum, the antique shops of Cukurcuma, the cafes of Cihangir, the Galata
Mevlevi Lodge and the lively waterfront at Karakoy are all close
by.
The historic peninsula is just across the Golden Horn
and easy to reach by tram or ferry: landmarks such as Hagia Sophia, the Blue
Mosque, Topkapi Palace, the Grand Bazaar and the Spice Bazaar are a short
journey away. This central yet characterful setting lets you experience both
modern, creative Istanbul and its imperial history with ease, returning to
the calm of the hotel and the Soul Garden whenever you wish.
The Soul Istanbul enjoys
excellent public transport links in the heart of Beyoglu. Taksim Square, with
the M2 metro line and the Taksim to Kabatas funicular, is within easy reach,
and the Sishane metro station near Galata is also close by. From these you
can quickly connect across the city, including to the airports via metro
links.
Down the hill towards the water, the historic Tunel
funicular and the T1 tram at Karakoy connect you to the historic peninsula
and Sultanahmet, while ferries from Karakoy and nearby Kabatas cross the
Bosphorus to the Asian side and link to scenic Bosphorus routes. The
nostalgic tram runs along Istiklal Avenue, just a short walk
away.
Many of Beyoglu’s highlights, including Galata Tower,
Istiklal Avenue, Cukurcuma and Cihangir, are within comfortable walking
distance, so you often will not need transport at all. Taxis are readily
available in the area, and our concierge can always arrange a private car
when you prefer.
