Room with a Killer View: Hotel Topkapi

Where: Oðuzhan Cd. No:20,, Istanbul, Turkey, 34270

We are suckers for a room with a killer view.  We find that we are even more likely to forgive some minor hotel inconveniences if we can stare out the window at something pretty--yeah we are that shallow. Let's help out our fellow hotel mavens by uploading rooms with killer views to the HotelChatter/Flickr photo pool, or by sending the photo along to us. We will feature our favorites in this space from time to time. Remember to tell us the name of the hotel and the room number of the hot view.

Staying in Istanbul can be a hit or miss. Here out the window we've got a real hit from the three star Hotel Topkapi. Unfortunately, past reviews of the hotel are a bit more miss. So it's a case of deciding how much a killer view is worth. In this case it will be a lot cheaper than in most other places of the globe.

To the hotel's credit however, complaints consisted of limited English. The staff had limited English, the hotel room television had limited English speaking channels, and we'll confirm that although there is an English language icon on their website; it doesn't work. But hell, what are you going to Istanbul for? A view or an English gabfest?
