I would like some advice about what web sites to use to search for last minute hotel deals/savings , I am planning to stay in instanbul for 1 week in early October
. When is the best time to get last minute deals.?thanks for your help!

I have not used the last minute sites but we did use booking.com for hotels throughout Turkey inclduing Istanbul and was satisfied as I have been with the other hotels in other countries that were on their listings.

your searching might be aided by a correct spelling of the city though.

Because it's a last minute request it should be 'Instantbul'.

I would advise you to book direct with the hotel if you can. You might get a better deal rather than using a booking site. you can use the site to see who had availability and then contact the hotel directly but also keep in mind that many hotels so not allocate all their rooms to a booking system so even if they dont show availability send and email or call to check.

dont book too late or last minute..their might be important details that you need to know before your arrival.

I have found good deals on wotif.com.
