Great hotel. We stayed in a Deluxe room called Bosphorus--Room 602 on sixth floor. We had a terrace with amazing view looking right at Hagia Sophia, Topkapi to the left, and Blue mosque to the right. Farther left amazing view of the bosphorous. Amazing! Bed was comfy, bathroom very nice and good water pressure with jacuzzi tub. The small elevator only goes to the 6th floor, then 1 flight of stairs to the restaurant/bar. Had outdoor terrace just above our room--really enjoyed drinks on the terrace, and breakfast was very large--very good! We mostly walked from hotel and almost all the good stuff was walking distance within minutes. We did finally walk down to the TI tram at Gulhane--about 7 minute walk, but pretty steep. Went over to Eminonu/walked along Galata bridge and up into spice market--which we liked much better than grand bazaar. Don't miss New Mosque (Yeni Cami) right by this. For going back to hotel on T1 we didn't get off at Gulhane as the walk uphill was steep--kept going around to Sultanahmet station--then walk through the gaps going back towards the hotel--great walk with tons of restaurants along the way--much more interesting and full of sights. This hotel was so well situated for doing everything. The staff were great, constantly offering assistance and guidance. We bought several turkish lamps and other stuff, and got if all within 100 yards of the hotel--and I priced shopped at numerous locations--best deals nearby. Would certainly stay again--thanks. Craig
