Istanbul Hotels
Information from various sources regarding hotels in Istanbul
I would highly recommend Hotel Antique, which is just a short walk from the Blue Mosque.
It's in a residential area just a few streets from an area with more hotels in it, so it's cheaper.
I think I paid $25 per night in early June.
It had air conditioning and free breakfast on a rooftop dining area with a nice view of the water and the Blue Mosque.
The main guy who works at the front desk (maybe the owner?) is very friendly and helpful.
I never did find a web site for this place.
There are also a couple of very good kebab places nearby.
One caution: There are apparently several places in Istanbul called Hotel Antique,
so if you find something on the web it's not likely to be the same place I'm talking about.

I stayed in the Hotel Nomade three years ago and it was delightful.
Price was right, friendly, helpful staff, simple but adequate rooms, rooftop terrace for the breakfast that was included.
I wouldn't hesitate to go back.
Also in Sultanhament area, near tram, Blue Mosque, restaurants, but on a quiet side street.
Enjoy the visit - Istanbul's a fascinating city!
