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.
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.

districts in Istanbul.
These gay friendly hotels are very centrally
located, all within walking distance to most popular gay
bars and clubs and other LGBT friendly venues around
Taksim and the neighbourhood quarters such as Harbiye,
Elmadag and Galata. There are many other cafes, bars,
restaurants, stores, bookshops, museums, cinemas and art
galleries in this busy neighborhood, considered to be
the center of Istanbul.
