Best Western Empire Palace Hotel!
by scorpiobehr
Superlative location close to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia and Topkapi Palace! This hotel was small but had great service, excellent location and was walking distance to most of the main atrractions in the old city of Istanbul. We were right on the trolley line so to go to the Bazaar or the Spice Bazaar was an easy 10 minute commute! Reasonably priced and well appointed this hotel was a great value in Istanbul while offering sumptiously appointed rooms in a recenlty renovated 17th century Ottoman Palace.
This hotel was a 17th century palace converted into a 35 room 6 story hotel. It had a wonderful rooftop restauraunt with a view of the Bosphoros Straight and the hotel also had a Turkish Hamman in the basement(Turkish Bath)
