This hotel combines friendly service, attractive rooms, and a great location right on the Hippodrome. The wooden floors and old-fashioned furniture are complemented with pastel and cream colors, and antique chandeliers and lamps, along with flat-screen TVs. The three rooms with views of the Hippodrome and the Blue Mosque have cozy bay windows with built-in divans, perfect for taking in the action below. At the hotel's entrance is a pleasant sidewalk restaurant; breakfast is served in an enclosed terrace upstairs that has views of the Blue Mosque, Aya Sofya, and the sea. Pros: central location; comfortable rooms. Cons: rooms facing Hippodrome can be noisy.
