If you haven’t got mucho dinero or a big fat wallet but you still see it as your right to explore the world no matter what and Istanbul is on your “bucket list” of places to go, you can still travel to this fabulous city. Accommodation on any vacation is probably the biggest expense you’ll have to foot and this site is all about budget hotels in Istanbul. In this article, we take a look at a couple of the 1 star hotels in Istanbul whereby you’ll find something that will fit with your budget. As I’d like to remind you because it always seems that people who post hotel reviews on certain websites for less than 5 star hotels, don’t expect the 5 star Ritz Carlton if you are staying at a one to three star hotel. Your needs have to be downgraded and realistic. You always get what you pay for. If you want 5 star, then look for a 5 star hotel if your budget suits the price. For one star hotels in Istanbul, you should set your expectations at “safe,” “clean” and cheap.” After all, just how much time will you spend in a hotel room?
