A good hotel and the number of days - this, of course, depends on individual expectations and wishes. Personally, it was comfortable for me to see all the main sights at a calm pace in a week.
For me, a good hotel is the one from which it is convenient to get to most of the interesting places in the city, so for the first time in Istanbul I lived in the Sultanahmet district and did not regret it, because I spent one and a half to two hours a day traveling in not the most comfortable Istanbul transport it would be embarrassing. Sultanahmet is full of hotels for every taste and budget, it is difficult to advise something specific.
For food: if you like Turkish cuisine, feel free to leave the tourist trails and go to the usual lokanta, where all the food is fresh, and for 15-20 liras you can overeat (for kebab, fish or shish kebab, there is a free slide of salad, plus soup and ayran - and you ate like a bun).
Shopping in Stabula is traditionally in the Laleli area (near Sultanahmet), I saw these endless shopping arcades, but didn’t really delve into it, so I won’t tell you the prices.

The beaches in Istanbul are not very good, after all, it is a large port city, the sea does not shine with cleanliness. But if you really want to, then within the city there are the beaches of Florya, Yesilkoy, Jaddebostan, Kucuk Su, you can also take a boat ride to the Princes' Islands.

IsmaElla, I will support ollennka - You will announce your criteria for a "good hotel", for each they are different. Regarding the number of days for sightseeing, the same is true. Last time I was there for 4 days, I didn’t have time to see everything I wanted to see, I’m flying again. A week will probably be just right. But again, it depends on what list of attractions you have compiled for yourself.

I recommend the Grand Tahir and Dallan hotels in the Laleli region. Traditional shopping place, close to attractions.

And we stayed in the Laleli area at the Martinenz Hotel. Near attractions, shopping malls .. and the hotel itself is quite worthy for a "spend the night".

Thanks a lot to everyone for the replies!
Learned a lot of useful things.
For me, a good hotel is close to attractions, clean, with a recent renovation and hot water, not lower than 4 or 4 + *. For "spend the night" is not satisfied, accustomed to comfort.

A good hotel in Istanbul is expensive. Given your desire for inexpensive shopping, sightseeing (it will take at least 5 days to see them briefly, including the Grand Bazaar and the Egyptian Bazaar), you will have to live in Laleli, which is quite rightly advised by Bobrovska and jlena75. Merchants in this area often know a little Russian and you will meet our citizens there for sure. Why do you need beaches? Or are you planning a summer trip?
аватар IsmaElla
Yes, in the warm season, the end of May-June.))
аватар IsmaElla
A "treshka" is also possible, clean with fresh repairs, normal food and, again, hot water)

Before leaving, contact me in a personal, I will give you the phone number of my friend in Istanbul. He supplies leather products to Ukraine, lives in the Laleli district, speaks Russian, and will help with purchases.

There are no beaches in Istanbul, this is an international port, what kind of swimming is there ... Istanbul residents swim on the Princes' Islands, it is far from the sights. So you have to prioritize.
