hotel spina (our hotel in istanbul)

view of blue mosque from hotel spina istanbul (from terrace)Day 39-43: Hotel Spina was our hotel in Istanbul. You’d be hard pressed to find a better location in Sultanahmet, right between the Blue Mosque and Aya Sophia, equidistant from each and with unbelievable views from the roof terrace over both.

our room with a view at hotel spina istanbulOur room was simple, elegant and uncluttered. Breakfast on the terrace was a sublime experience and the perfect way to start our day as we planned our activities in Istanbul. There is a second and higher terrace (not immediately obvious on first inspection) which you can visit for even less interrupted views.

After a few weeks in budget places, I was really happy to enjoy a little bit of luxury in Istanbul.

Glad to hear you enjoyed your time at Spina. I’m in Prague now running off to see some sights…
