Gay friendly hotels and apartments in Istanbul

Istanbul Gay Friendly Hotels




Why to choose hotels recommended by us?


First and foremost, we exclusively list hotels that have been explicitly confirmed as gay-friendly by their owners and managers, unlike most other international gay travel websites.

If you wish to immerse yourself in Istanbul’s vibrant gay life, selecting the right hotel is a crucial starting point. It’s often observed that gay individuals often face challenges in conventional hotels, where they may encounter mistreatment from staff. Therefore, making an informed choice of hotel is essential to avoid unpleasant experiences.



Where Should You Stay in Istanbul?


The location of your hotel in Istanbul is as important as its being a gay friendly establishment, because public transport isn’t easy to use, and there’s always a lot of traffic in Istanbul. For this reason we will also be classifying hotels based on their location on this page.
