Republika Ortaköy

Conveniently located in the heart of Ortaköy, your student accommodation puts one of the city’s most popular areas at your fingertips. Start your weekends with Turkish coffee and a shared shisha pipe on the verandah of local café Ortaköy Kahvesi. Take a stroll down the street to the magnificent waterfront mosque Büyük Mecidiye Camii, then spend a moment gazing out over the Bosphorus Strait, whose busy waters separate Europe from Asia. Head to Yıldız Parkı for a sunbathing session by the ornamental lake, before dressing up for an evening of cocktails and dancing at local club Kiki Ortaköy.

From your new home at Republika Ortaköy, you can catch the complimentary shuttle bus to Galatasaray Üniversitesi, Bahçeşehir Üniversitesi and Yıldız Teknik Üniversitesi in under 10 minutes. Alternatively, make the most of the property’s on-site parking. In the morning, roll out of your comfy bed, choose an outfit from the wardrobe, then use the high-speed Wi-Fi to finish a paper at your bedroom desk. Grab a snack from the fridge, then enjoy a cup of hot coffee on the balcony. 

Whether you choose a private floorplan or a shared one, your new home comes fully-furnished. After class, lock your valuables in your bedroom safe box, before wandering outside to catch up with your friends on the terrace. Later, work on a project in the study room, then head to the copy centre to use the printer. With a fitness centre on-hand, as well as a swimming pool, where you can relax in the sunshine, it’s easy to unwind as soon as you’re finished. 

Rinse off with a quick shower, then throw your clothes in the laundry and tune in to the living room TV. If you’d rather have company, head to the game room for a session on the Playstation, or explore your creative side in the hobby room. When hunger strikes, cook up a storm in the communal kitchen, order dinner from the on-site restaurant, or try traditional Turkish ravioli at nearby eatery Ortaköy Mantı Evi. When you get home, settle in for a movie marathon in the theatre room.
