Megara Palace Hotel Istanbul - Reviews - Istanbul

This hotel in Sultanahmet was recommended by a friend of mine. Its location couldn't be any better. You walk up the street for 30 sec and you are right in front of Topkapi Palace and Hagia Sophia. The price was reasonable ($65 per night for a double room). In my opinion, it needs some work in some parts of the building (such as not working shower doors in the bathrooms or sometimes you might be getting a room without an A.C. or with a non-fully functioning one). Not having a full functioning A.C. did not bother us since the weather was cool at nights during our trip.The rooms on the second and first levels were small and the top floor ones were large with a nice balcony and view. Overall, it is  clean, comfortable and nicely decorated hotel. But if you are looking for more than average such as big bathrooms or a very cold room, I would check the rooms before I book or let the management know that  when you say you want A.C.,you mean it! I am hoping they will improve these parts because the management was really helpful, nice and friendly, and the location was perfect. One minus to the location is very old but still functioning mosque right across the street. Some people were up at 4:30am with a call to the prayer but most of us were so tired, we didn't even hear it:)
