Small hotel near area packed with great fish restaurants. Walking to the Grand Bazaar or to the key attractions near The Blue Mosque is easy and takes 15 mins. Hotel rooms are small but very clean and well decorated. Breakfast is excellent but the roof terrace where breakfast is served is small and even smaller when it rains. Staff are... More

There are other Best Western Hotels in Istanbul, but for me this one was the best! This hotel is within walking distance of the Blue Mosque, Grand Bazzar and plenty of eating places near the waterfront. You have to go up some stairs before reaching the lobby, so be prepared to do some heavy lifting on your own. However, the... More

A small, nice hotel located in the old city. If you choose to reach it by tram, don't carry much things, because you have to walk down a hill (and when you leave you have to walk up the same hill!!!). The rooms aren't big, but they are nice decorated and very cute.From the 4th floor (breakfast place) there is... More
