Istanbul boasts of many hotels and hostels going from the most luxurious to the most modest, to which have been added in recent years airbnb facilities and the like, and information on them may be found in many guidebooks and websites. However, as Istanbul has a major traffic problem, participants are advised to stay as close to the venue as possible.
The hotel the organizers recommend is:
Etiler Otelcilik ve Turizm Meslek Lisesi Müdürlüğü Uygulama Oteli
Nispetiye Cad. Koç Köprüsü Yanı
34335 Etiler, Beşiktaş, İstanbul

It has already been used for Boğaziçi University conferences. It is simple, but clean, close, and inexpensive.
The price per night at present (February 2014) is 95 TL single and 130 TL double.
