Hotel Spectra (Best Western)

Hotel Spectra (Best Western)

This hotel is in a great location, virtually on the corner of the Hippodrome, about a 2 minute stroll from the Blue Mosque, 5 minutes from Aya Sofya, and 10 minutes from Topkapi. It is a budget hotel, so don't expect luxury. However, what you do get is a small, charming, and welcoming hotel. The rooms are fairly basic, not huge, but clean and comfortable. They are all en-suite and have a TV and a fridge. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and the atmosphere relaxing. There is a small bar in the foyer area where, on my first visit to Istanbul, I spent several lovely evenings chatting with the reception and bar staff about anything we could think of! Internet access is free to guests staying in the hotel. We booked over the Internet (www.hotelspectra.com) and received a free transfer to and from the Airport and a 10% discount for cash (dollars). Having stayed there twice I would definately recommend it, particularly to anyone on a budget. The views from the roof, where breakfast is served, are fantastic. Sitting by the window with a plate of olives, cheese, jam and bread overlooking the Blue Mosque and the Bosphorus was magical!
