About
Skylife Oldcity Hotel
Skylife Oldcity Hotel sits on Taya Hatun Sokak, a quiet street in Istanbul’s historic peninsula. It’s a 6-minute walk to the greenery of Gulhane Park and about 20 minutes on foot to Suleymaniye Library, making it a practical base for exploring Sultanahmet’s landmarks without the bustle.
The hotel keeps things simple and functional: air-conditioned rooms with flat-screen TVs and mini-bars, plus a lounge area for downtime. Practical services include luggage storage, laundry, currency exchange, and a paid airport shuttle—useful when you need to get to Sabiha Gokcen Airport, a 48-minute drive away. Note that the hotel is entirely non-smoking and doesn’t allow pets.
