Campus

Get on the tram.
Two stops later you're in class.

The santralistanbul campus sits on the Golden Horn shore in Eyüpsultan. Mahal Suites is in the same district, in Çırçır. The T5 links them: about a 700-metre walk to the stop, then off at Üniversite two stops later. No changes, no waiting for a bus, no morning traffic maths.

Your link to the city

The same line does more than take you to BİLGİ. Mahal sits at the Alibeyköy end of the T5, at the head of the line: stay on the same tram and Üniversite comes two stops in, then Eyüpsultan, Feshane, Balat, Fener, Cibali and Eminönü. Campus isn't a detour — it's already on your way into the city.

Living

Campus is busy.
Home doesn't have to be.

santralistanbul is no ordinary campus: a 118-dönüm green site on the Golden Horn, the old Silahtarağa power station, an award-winning Energy Museum, workshops, studios and a sailing boathouse on the historic wharf, all on one site. With BİLGİ's 100-plus student clubs your day will be full enough. When you get home, you shouldn't have to share another crowd.

Your Own Door
Not a dorm room — your own flat. When you shut the door at the end of the day, the space is entirely yours.
Your Own Kitchen
Induction hob, oven, extractor, fridge and dishwasher. Even the pots, pans, plates and cutlery are already in the cupboard.
Your Own Washing Machine
No queueing in a shared laundry, no hunting for tokens. The machine is in your flat.
Fibre Internet
Fibre infrastructure is in place and its use is included in the rent — there is no separate internet bill. Presentations, projects, renders, online classes and research all move home with you.
Warm Floors in Winter
Hydronic underfloor heating on ceramic floors. The warmth spreads evenly into every corner of the room.
One All-Inclusive Price
Rent, building fees, electricity, water, heating and internet are gathered into a single figure. Nothing separate arrives at the end of the month — the amount you pay is the same every time.
24/7 Cameras
Communal areas of the building are monitored by camera. You come and go through your own door with your own key.
Take the Key, Move In
No furniture orders, no appliance installations, no removals, no kitchen shopping. Your flat is ready.

The decision

A dorm room,
or your own place?

İstanbul Bilgi University meets housing demand through partner private student halls near its campuses. For a student who wants a single or shared room with security, catering and communal social space, a hall can be a sensible choice. Mahal answers a different need.

FurnishingsRoom fittingsA complete household

If you want hall life, halls have real advantages — meals laid on, a ready-made social circle, a shorter commitment. But if you want an actual home rather than a student room, the question changes. This table is a guide, not a verdict; the choice is yours.

For parents

Don't set up
a second home.

Getting into university may be the easy part. Moving to İstanbul from another city means finding a suitable flat, buying a bed and a sofa, choosing appliances, waiting for deliveries, arranging internet and filling the gaps in the kitchen — a second project in its own right.

At Mahal Suites all of that is done before your child arrives. Furniture in place, appliances installed, kitchen usable, washing machine inside, fibre and heating ready. They can start living the day they take the key. The payment side is just as simple: rent, building fees, electricity, water, heating and internet come as one figure, the same every month.

  • No furniture or appliance shopping
  • No removals, installation or assembly to arrange
  • One price each month — electricity, water, heating and internet included, no surprise bills
  • A 12-month lease — no storing furniture over summer and starting the search again
  • The amount is the same every month — you can set up a standing order and let it run

You are welcome to view the flat together with your child; if you live outside İstanbul we can hold the first meeting over video.

Who it's for

Who is Mahal for?

Frequently Asked

Your questions.

It is about a 700-metre flat walk from Mahal Suites to the T5 Alibeyköy Metro stop. Board there heading towards Eminönü and the order is Alibeyköy Merkez, then Üniversite — so two stops later you are at the Üniversite stop used for BİLGİ santralistanbul. You do not need to change. Once you step off, a footbridge over the Alibey creek takes you across to the campus.
Yes. The T5 line's Üniversite stop serves the santralistanbul site, and the Alibey creek bridge that leads onto the campus is right beside it. İstanbul Bilgi University's own transport page also describes getting off at Üniversite when travelling to the santralistanbul campus by T5.
No. İstanbul Bilgi University has three campuses: santralistanbul, Dolapdere and Kuştepe. The faculties of Business, Social Sciences and Humanities, Communication, Architecture, Engineering and Natural Sciences, and Law are at santralistanbul; the Faculty of Health Sciences and the School of Applied Sciences are at Dolapdere; the English preparatory programme and the vocational schools are at Kuştepe. Mahal's strongest transport advantage applies to the santralistanbul campus, so before committing to a lease we suggest checking with the university which campus your department's classes are on. The distribution of campuses may be updated by the university from time to time.
No. Mahal Suites is not a dormitory. Every unit is a self-contained 1+0 or 1+1 flat: your own kitchen, your own bathroom, your own washing machine and your own key.
Yes. Bed, sofa, dining table and chairs, coffee table, fitted wardrobe and coat stand; rugs, curtains, ceiling lights, wall lights and floor lamps; television, induction hob, oven, extractor, fridge, dishwasher and washing machine; vacuum cleaner, iron and ironing board are all included. Basic kitchenware such as pots, pans, plates, glasses and cutlery, along with bathroom fittings, are in place too — you need bring nothing but your suitcase.
Yes. Fibre internet infrastructure is in place and its use is included in the rent. Electricity, water, heating and building fees sit inside the same single price — nothing separate arrives at the end of the month. Because the amount is fixed, you can set up a standing order and pay it automatically.
No. Mahal Suites is made up of long-let city flats for students from various universities, young professionals and expats. This page was written to explain the transport advantage for students at BİLGİ santralistanbul.
12 months. We do not offer short-stay or nightly accommodation, so instead of constant guest turnover the building settles into a steady rhythm where neighbours know each other and it stays quiet during finals.
Of course. Students and parents can book a viewing appointment; if you live outside İstanbul we can hold the first meeting over video.
Partner real estate agents

The experts show you around.

Renting at Mahal Suites goes through partner real estate agents. Each of them shows the same apartments, answers your questions and prepares your contract — just tap whichever number you like.

Now shorten the journey.

Over four years you will make that trip to campus hundreds of times. Mahal's advantage isn't being in the same city as BİLGİ — it's being on the same tram line. And when you come home, you open the door to your own flat, not a dorm room. Rent, building fees, electricity, water, heating and internet all come in one price, the same every month. 21 fully furnished 1+0 and 1+1 apartments, limited availability.
