Megara Palace - Old City  

I liked the breakfast area best. The view is amazing.

I don't thing there was something I specifically didn't like. maybe the fact that the breakfast selection was not very wide.

The breakfast at the rooftop was excellent with a stunning view at the Bosporus; staff is very friendly and helpful, rooms are a little bit small but very clean and cosy, the location is great - everything is in walking distance. Was my second time and if I return to Istanbul I will for sure book this hotel again!

The staff and the location are superb. Breakfast on the terrace was wonderful - glorious view, a simple but more than adequate breakfast and helpful staff. Not only is the location good for the major sights it is also good for reasonably priced, good quality restaurants

There is no lift and the stairs - a spiral staircase - are a bit treacherous. The walls and doors are quite thin so if your neighbours at all noisy you can hear them clearly. I needed to change my room as my neighbours had two small chiildren who cried a great deal. The hotel staff could not have been more understanding or helpful

It was close to the major sights.

Exceptional service from all of the staff; they went out of their way to make our stay memorable and personal. Rooms are quaint, have character and very clean. Location is outstanding for the major sites of Sultanehmet. Beautiful rooftop terrace for breakfast and a relaxing place to sit out front for a cold beer when we returned from sightseeing. i would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone wanting a reasonably priced great place to stay in Istanbul.

Price was good.

Airconditioner didn't work, only air coming out, no cold air. Breakfast okay, but no refill of juices and sausages when finished.

nice and friendly good service excellent location

poor airconditioning poor tv-set

In the heart of the most interesting part of an interesting city, this is great value, with a wonderful staff, perfect location, nice breakfast and a good, clean, tidy, well-maintained room. Considering how crazy the neighborhood is with cafes, restaurants, shops, and tour buses, this is a remarkably quiet oasis just a block or so from everything you could want. A 5 min walk to the tram stop if you want to go to other parts of the city. Very good breakfast every morning on the roof top overlooking the Bosphorous was a highlight of the trip. Mehmet and all the staff spoke good English and were lovely and helpful in every way. I look foward to returning.

It was perfect for us, but you should know that it does not have an elevator so be prepared to walk up the spiral staircase to your room on the second or third floor and the breakfast room on the 4th floor. If my 91 yr old mother could do it, so can you! Also, if you are expecting a spacious room with arm chairs to lounge in, you will be dissappointed, this is a fine, clean utilitarian room in a dense city.

All equipments in this hotel and all services are "cheap", the door like carton made us participate to the life of our neighbours, the shower was so lauzy, the breafast terrible quality, orange juice just a yellow water etc...Except the funny parrot the stay in this "palace" was so frustrating.

the roof top terrace was really nice in the mornings and also inthe evening

the breakfast and dinner quality was poor

close to the city best old places to visit and the personel was sooooo helpful that I can't imagine

breakfast is poor

I is located under the Topkapi palace walls, 5 minute walk from Aja Sophia,10 minutes walk from Blue Mosque, and 15 minutes walk from Grand Bazaar, so the location is good, although you have to walk 10 minutes to the nearest tram stop. The staff is excellent, nice, english speaking guys, always have a smile for you and willing to explain everything you need about the city. On the top floor is a cosy little restaurant with a fireplace and nice view over the Bosporus.

Rooms are small, you don't have enough place for the luggage or bags when you come back from shopping full of souvenirs. In the morning around 6:00 you hear a loud muslim call to prayer from the mosques that will probably wake you up - windows are not sound proof. Walls are thin and you hear noise from the corridor, however there were not many guests at the hotel, so this was not a big problem. Breakfast is plentiful (cooked eggs, ham, cheese, yogurt, olives, butter, jam, honey, cereals...), but exactly the same every day, we stayed there for 6 nights, so a change of breakfast choices every two-three days would be nice.
