A historic-house hotel with a garden pool in Kaleiçi
Alp Paşa Hotel is another of the Kaleiçi hotels built into old houses, with a garden and pool that are a welcome retreat after walking the old streets.
If you like to wander out for dinner and a sunset walk, this is a good base. As with all old-town hotels, ask about room location and noise, since rooms close to restaurants can be livelier in summer.
