Hotel review: The Sultan Hostel was a great place. It is centrally located in the middle of the touristy Sultanhamet area and is close to the Blue Mosque, Aya Sophia and so on. It has a good bar and very good restaurant. My room had a great view over the Sea of Marmara, with lots of ships coming and going.
