Where to stay in Çengelköy
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
Mansions set the tone for a stay in Çengelköy. Abdullah Ağa Mansion and Sadullah Pasha Mansion are the two the record singles out, and the neighbourhood between them stays mainly residential rather than given over to hotels. Hotels are scarce on these streets.
Beylerbeyi lies along one border and Kuleli the other, so most visitors take a room in the wider Üsküdar and come along the Bosphorus shore.
