We booked the room with the view of the Bosphorous, but the front desk initially tried to check us into another room, but once we clarified, we were led to our own room, which was a very large one and had two windows, both overlooking the Bosphorous beyond the old city walls, which were only a few feet from the hotel. Wonderful location, great and friendly staff. The breakfast could be improved slightly, but that's another story.
