The Alzer hotel has arguably one of the finest positions in Istanbul. I've just spent a week at the Alzer in April [ 2012] It's on the Hippodrome exactly opposite the Blue Mosque and virtually all of the major sites are within easy walking distance. For anything further afied the tram is only a couple of minutes walk away through... More
