Carina Gold Hotel and Restaurant
We loved our stay at this hotel. It was very clean and spacious. The breakfast was great and the location was excellent, just a short walk from the main attractions and the tram stop is very close. What made is extra special was the staff! They were all very professional, had excellent recommendations ...

The Ritz-Carlton, Istanbul
Excellent hotel and great courteous service. My only peeve is that though it is a nice area but at 3/4 of a kilometer away from shopping areas.

Recital Hotel
Clean hotel, nice rooms, good breakfast. The only issue was that it was a bit noisy at night. If you are not heavy sleeper the noise bothers you.
