Megara Palace - Old City

I had a couple of days stop over in Istanbul and decided to stay here. What a good choice! From the email correspondence from day 1 to the departure it was excellent. The staff were friendly and helpful, the rooms were clean and adequate and the breakfast sumptuous!

The location can’t be beat, just two steps away from some spectacular historical sites, and the view of the Bosporus from the breakfast room on the 5th floor makes it hard to leave in the morning. The 4th floor suite is the best room, and worth asking for. The staff were all fantastic, very friendly, helpful and professional. There may be an issue for those who need an elevator, since there isn’t one, and the standard rooms are pretty small, but it’s clean and convenient in an ideal location, so I would recommend it.

This hotel is all you can ask for. Its location is top notch. You can see the topkapi and the bosphurus from your room balcony. You can walk to the bluemosqur square. The adjoining street is full of restaurants and small stores. It's a small charming heritage property with super personal service. That's the best part. You come in as guests and leave as friends. OKTAY and NEVZAT are amazing- gentle kind and friendly. The breakfast on the roof is an amazing spread and the view is to die for. Now, this being a heritage hotel has no elevator but oktay and nevzat helped us with our bags always. The rooms on the top floor are larger and have big balconies so pick that if you are big on space. Also if you book early you can score some sweet deals
