Basilica Cistern
This cavernous space is the largest remaining Byzantine reservoir in Istanbul. Constructed in the 6th century, it originally provided water filtration for the Great Palace of Constantinople, and continued to supply the Topkapi Palace from 1453 until the modern day. Opened to the public in 1987, you can now explore its lit walkways and be amazed by the decorative, water-worn columns.

Atmospheric.
Atmospheric. Not too busy when we visited, but you won't be alone. Admission fee but worth it. Exit is obvious, entrance around the corner. If there's a queue, say you want to pay with card and you might beat it, as we did.

The Basilica Cistern in Istanbul is indeed a remarkable historical site, and it has been used for cultural and artistic events like Night Shift (cultural performances, concerts, art exhibitions or other creative activities). I recommend checking the official website of the Basilica Cistern

An amazing example of how the re-use of old structure has aa long, long history. If you have small children, remember that CO2 is heavier than air, and they might need to be carried for some of the way if they feel a little dizzy.

its a must visit place as while looking at it one wonders the engineering and architect of that time and the kind of efforts which were made to create a nearly hidden, massive cistern. the ticket price of of 350 lira is a bit steep but since Sultanamet ( Blue Mosque) and Hagia Sofia( now when its a mosque) have no tickets, its OK. all are close by and could be visited in all in 2-3 hrs..

It is nothing quite as bright as seen in pictures.
It is nothing quite as bright as seen in pictures. It would have been of great significance in the life of Istanbul's then population that used its waters and of course the engineering skills that went into building it, but I feel there are a lot of other things one can spend time marvelling at in Istanbul rather than spend extra to see the basilica cistern. It wasn't even covered under the Turkey Museum Pass that we had, which gave access to virtually every place we wanted to go all over the country.

A great location to walk a short distance to most major attractions in the area, including Blue Mosque, Hippodrome, Obelisk, Basilica Cistern, Grand Bazaar, Palace, etc as well as restaurants and shopping, with tram right outside. Hotel was cute and cozy, breakfast was good.
Great location, right next to the beautiful Gulhane Park and steps away from Topkapi Palace, Basilica Cistern, Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, etc. Delicious breakfast with a good selection of warm and cold choices. Afternoon tea with simit is an added bonus. The staff is warm and welcoming.
Excellent location! Walking distance (around 5 mins) to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern and other tourist attractions.
Room was clean and has complete toiletries.
Breakfast was great! Complete Turkish breakfast.
Easy check in and check out.
Staff were very helpful and accommodating.
Guests have a discount on the restaurant downstairs.
Will definitely recommend this hotel. It’s a NEW hotel in old city. The hotel is walking distance from Topkapi, Hagia Sofia, Blue Mosque and Basilica Cistern. It is also close to metro station and tram station. The room was spacious, clean and even sanitized. It’s not along the main road so it’s quiet, we had restful nights during our stay.
Very comfortable hotel, located very centrally and very close to the main monuments of Ayia Sofia and Blue Mosque, Hippodrome and Basilica Cistern. Clean with comfortable beds and good breakfast, the neighborhood is noisy but cute with many restaurants to choose from. The staff very polite and helpful.
The hotel is located in the best location. Gulhane Park, Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern, Topkapi Palace are all around. The breakfast at the hotel was very delicious. the staff was attentive and helpfull, thank you Pamuk for all and the view was absolutely stunning.
The best thing about this hotel is the location. It is right in the heart of the old city, and just a five minute walk from major attractions like the Blue Mosque, the Hagia Sophia, the Basilica Cistern and the Grand Bazaar. There are also dozens of local restaurants right on your doorstep, and the Metro tram stop is less than a two minute walk. It is situated on a pedestrian alley, so while there is some noise from the nearby restaurants etc, it wasn't excessively noisy. A great place to stay in the heart of the city.
