Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Peninsula

One of the best values in Sultanahmet, this well-located hotel offers clean, comfortable rooms with decorative touches that include mirrors, small artworks, kilims, and gauzy draped fabric; three rooms have a partial sea view. The lower level of the inviting two-floor rooftop terrace, where a homemade breakfast is served in summer, has fine views of the Sea of Marmara, while the upper section has several hammocks that are extremely popular with guests. If the Peninsula is full, try its sister hotel, the Hanedan, just across the street.
