hotel's entrance at night
by tommixNaz is in a 130-years old wooden ottoman house, carefully restored. But it's not only made of wood. In fact Naz contains also the remains of much older building made of stone. Apparently the older building dates back to the 8th century and is thought to be one of the secondary buildings of the Byzantine Palace. That's why you can find inside the hotel some Byzantine arches and columns.
Naz is at a walking distance to the most important monuments of Istanbul: Blue Mosque, Aya Sophia, Topkapi Palace, Basilica Cistern, Grand Bazaar. Rooms (all with A/C) and modern bathrooms are cosy and clean, and (good) breakfast is served on the terrace with a splendid view of Marmara sea on one side, and Blue Mosque on another.
But one advice - it's not for claustrophobics - double rooms are quite small, the ceiling is low and there are fences at the windows.
