I booked with one place but there may be a problem now.
I am needing a double room from May 18 - June 8.
It is for my fiance and I. With our own bathroom in the room. I know some hotels won't let a Turk and foreigner stay together too, if not married.
We are getting married but it won't be until the second week I am there.
Not sure what to do.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thx Vivian

Are you asking about the European side? If so, I have stayed at the Ada, but a budget room will run about $90/night U.S. Here is a link:
http://www.adaistanbul.com/roomrates.html
I stayed here in January in one of their larger rooms and paid over $150/night U.S.
If you want the Asian side, here is a link I found:
http://www.silkroadhotels.com/istanbul_ing/asianhotels.htm
I have stayed at two in the past, but can't remember their names and I think they were about $100/night U.S. in the off season. One was located in Tuzla on the Asian side of Istanbul, but I don't have the information on it as I didn't pay for it.

Thank you so much for your information. I will have a look at them But sorry to say I am not that rich.
Anyone know any for less then this and I am willing to stay in a bit far away place too no problem.
Thanks everyone

I have stayed at the Yasmak Sultan. It is on the European side. It's my favorite hotel in Istanbul. A bit pricey but wonderful to stay for one or 2 nights if you want to see the sites in Sultanahmet. Everything is walking distance.

Staying in the same hotel with your fiance should NOT be a problem in Istanbul. It can sometimes be a problem in smaller villages/town but I don't know if I have ever heard of it happening in Istanbul/large cities.

Have a look at this site and contact them beforehand. Just tell them what is going on and they might not make a problem of it .
Good luck

Wow...I'm shocked...although I probably shouldn't be. I never encountered a problem before my husband and I were married. We must be the inconspicuous sorts...
