Ekol Hotel Istanbul

The comfortable 2-star Ekol Hotel Istanbul is about a 5-minute stroll from the Ottoman imperial Pertevniyal Valide Sultan Mosque and features currency exchange and free newspapers. The smoke-free hotel lies in Laleli, which is known by some as Istanbul's Russia Town, 2.3 km from such cultural sights as the Serpent Column.

This Istanbul hotel is situated only 650 metres from the 18th-century Ottoman imperial mosque "Laleli Camii" and nearly a 10-minute ride from the 4th-century Byzantine Hagia Irene Church Museum. The Ekol Istanbul is approximately 5 minutes on foot from Yusufpasa bus stop and just a few steps from Selcuk Sultan Camii. To enrich your historical consciousness, visit the Boukoleon Palace, which stands 2.5 km from the accommodation. Guests will find themselves 200 m from Aksaray tube station, while around 15 minutes by car from the modern Galata Bridge.

The rooms at Ekol Hotel are air-conditioned and fitted with complimentary wireless internet and a flat-screen TV with satellite channels as well as a mini fridge bar. These air-conditioned rooms are furnished with sound-proof windows, along with a wardrobe and a writing desk. The private bathrooms are appointed with a hair dryer and bath sheets. The rooms also face the city.
