    We loved everything about this hotel, from the friendly and helpful staff who went out of their way to make our stay personalised, to the substantial daily breakfast to the daily delivery of infused detox water. The hotel position was excellent just off the main street of Nisantasi, a great area of cafes, shops and designer boutiques. The room itself was extremely spacious and comfortable with plenty of extra touches usually seen in 5 star premises. We will definitely be back next time we're in Istanbul.
