This great 4-star hotel rests on Tiyatro Caddesi just five minutes from the Grand Bazaar. Since Istanbul can be a confusing network of lanes, the huge complex of Beyazit Cami and the Watch Tower at the top of the street are prominent landmarks by which to relocate this hotel. From the roof (which has an outdoor and indoor pool), you can see the hills of Asia, the Blue Mosque, and the Princes' Islands in the Sea of Marmara. From the doorman to the merest porter (or hamal), they'll treat you like the Grand Turk you are.
Unique Qualities: Breakfast is served on the sixth floor, where you can watch seagulls play and observe the dozens of vessels at anchorage in the Sea of Marmara. The staff speak many languages and regardless of your origin, they will make you feel at home. Located on Theater Avenue, you might taken in a belly dancing show with your dinner next door at the Orient House. Rooms are comfortable, windows open up to admit the sounds of Old Stamboul, and the staff is always polite, informative and efficient.
