Can minors (under 18) check into a hotel in Istanbul without parents?
Based on 1 discussion with 2 participants · Last activity: 18 days ago
TL;DR
Most hotels in Istanbul refuse to check in guests under 18 without a parent. Renting an apartment or walking around to ask hotels in person gives better chances, since Istanbul has a huge number of hotels to try.
What the community said
Some try changing the birth date in their phone and showing a photo (not the original) of their passport at check-in, but this is a risky and not recommended trick.

If a hotel refuses due to age, try renting an apartment instead — landlords tend to be more lenient about guests' age than hotels.

Stay one night wherever you currently are, then the next day walk around in person to check different hotels — Istanbul has an enormous number of them.
