Rough Guide
"Owned by three charismatic brothers, this place is bright, spacious and friendly and resists the pressure to go all modern or faux-Ottoman."
Lonely Planet
"A sprawling place that has a long-standing reputation for cheap, clean and comfortable accommodation, the Side has overpriced hotel rooms with TV, air-con and en suite."
DK Eyewitness
"This family run establishment combines a pension for budget-conscious guests and also a ritzier hotel. Pension prices are cheaper and facilities are fewer, with no air conditioning in rooms."
Frommer's
"This place has been offering good-value, spotlessly clean, well-managed accommodation in the heart of the old city since 1989." Full review

"A fastidiously restored 56-room inn and part-time cultural center (plays and dance performances are sometimes held here) in Galata, the buzzy hood on Istanbul's European side." Full review
Frommer's
"Adahan has a general air of chic elegance. Spacious, airy, and laid back, it makes a good upmarket option for those uncomfortable with the lavish opulence of some of its counterparts." Full review
Fodor's
"An elegant apartment building from 1874 has been lovingly restored by architect-owner Sedat Sırrı Aklan and turned into a charming boutique hotel where no two rooms are exactly alike." Full review
