Daniel United States of America

There is not a better location - right beside Topkapı Palace, with the historic walls visible right from the terrace, and around the corner from Hagia Sofia. The breakfast is varied and delicious, and the bed extremely comfortable. Engin and the other staff are so welcoming and helpful. And all for the same price as a private room at a hostel!
