I need also 9 stays, so I'm going to do a hotel hop every day ( broke up with my girlfriend so I can finally do this
) I thought of booking these hotels:
- Hilton Bospurus
- Conrad Istanbul
- Bomonti Istanbul
- Hilton Moda ( on the asian side )
All hotels with lounges so I can check those out also.Someone who has got more tips for me to get more points? Already saw that I get 2000 points per stay en 10.000 for the 5th one ( which I am going to do in Belgium ). Any experiences with these htoels? Why I should or shouldnot book them? I speak Turkish so any language barrier is not a problem.
Stayed at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Istanbul - Sirkeci on my trip there last fall and highly recommend. Not on the bosphorus, but walkable and walkable to other places to visit. They don't have club lounge, but excellent breakfast and bar.
