Frommer's "You either love this one or hate it. That's because in all of the deluxe rooms, each small bathroom doubles as a marble-clad mini-hamam." Full review

"Stylishly guest house in the bustling Galata district, with its views of the Bosphorus from its roof terrace...the rooms lack for nothing in terms of comfort; goose down duvets and solid soundproofing" Full review
