Gorgeous view from a private balcony (if you have it) Location

This little gem of a hotel is just minutes from the popular sites of the OLD TOWN, such as Aya Sofia and the Blue Mosque. From the breakfast room on the 5th floor, you get magnificent view of the Sea of Marmara. Good and reasonably priced restaurants line the streets beside the hotel and also, a taxi depot is a across the street for you to hire a ride at any time. The staff in all the stations are exceptionally friendly, polite and helpful. Lower season rates are quite affordable with breakfast included. I can't recommend Megara Palace more highly. It is one of those magical places that travellers are always looking for.
