Istanbul's
new (2011) Sultan's
Royal Hotel is in the popular
Küçük Ayasofya
hotel district (map)
on a quiet street just a short stroll
from the Sultanahmet (Blue) Mosque
and the Hippodrome.
The advantages here are larger
rooms than are usual in
this district; and they've been designed
by experienced hoteliers who understand
what makes a hotel room comfortable.

The emphasis is on light, airy and
modern, which is more relaxing than
the atmospheric but heavy Ottoman-inspired
furnishings in some hotels.
Another advantage is the variety of
rooms: small but inexpensive singles,
large top-floor double/triples with
private terraces, two rooms at the
end of the hallway that can be closed
off with an extra door to make a suite
of two complete, interconnecting rooms.
Of course, all rooms have the expected
comforts: air conditioning, free Wifi
internet access, direct-dial telephones,
safe deposit boxes, satelite LCD TV
with international channels, minibar,
central heating,
a vanity with mirror, private
bathroom with shower, local-craft toiletries,
and a hairdryer.
The basement breakfast room is
surprisingly bright and cheerful, with
sunlight pouring in from clever skylights.
This is where you take your plenteous buffet
breakfast (included in the
room rates) each
morning:

When you contact
the hotel, please mention
TTP. Here's why.
