"Maybe it's hip because it's a pioneer -- Siraselviler Avenue used to be a bit dicey, but it's now very close to having a clean bill of health."

"The lively nightlife and shopping area around Beyoğlu is generally neglected by hotel entrepreneurs... the Lush is the first to offer interesting accommodation without the fanfare."
Jetsetter
"Eclectic hotel with arty rooms and bags of character in Istanbul’s vibrant Taksim Square."

You can choose from cereals, pastries and Turkish favorites — sesame-covered simit, goat cheese, tomatoes, cucumbers, olives and yogurt — ask the waiter for Turkish tea and eggs made to order.
Lonely Planet
"One of a fast-sprouting crop of boutique hotels around town, this self-consciously hip place has 35 attractive rooms of varying sizes, all of which are individually decorated and full of amenities."

"It’s impossible to completely abandon feelings of unease when going to a hotel restaurant, given the odds that you’ll be faced with an exaggeratedly serious place that reeks of formality...."

It’s difficult to choose among the main courses, which is unsurprising given that you’re dining at a restaurant where the chef’s previous establishments in both Switzerland and France received Michelin stars.
Afar Magazine
"In the heart of the city’s business district of Taksim, the Marti Istanbul Hotel is a thoroughly modern example of Istanbul’s contemporary face."
