Good place to stay in Istanbul

Hi all can anyone recomend a good place to stay in Istanbul as we are stopping off there for a few days whilst our Land Rover is in the container from Oz bound for the UK in April 2010?

Hello!

Last year, I stood at LIZA HOTEL * * * ..., while motorcycling from Italy to Jordan.
Nothing special, but it was clean, there was a a very friendly staff, and it's at 15-minutes walk from the main sights of the city and from the restaurants' area.

Hope this helps.

I forgot the name of the place we stayed in (Sultan Hostel I think?), but in the Sultanahmet area you will find plenty of hostels to choose from, most with free web access and rooftop bars, plus it's within walking distance of most sights.

If you head into Taxsim Square you will be spoilt for choice for somewhere to stay. There is a little block of hotels to the North side of the main square. Plenty of night life, if a little touristy.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
