Insight Guides "Famous for its thousands of hanging glass lamps that even infiltrate the bedrooms, the Kybele, created out of a pair of townhouses, is a splash of colour both inside and out."

Time Out "Just 270 yards from the historic Galata Tower, this hotel features deluxe accommodation and its rooftop restaurant offers absolutely stunning views of old Istanbul and the Golden Horn." Full review
Star Service "The decor is crisp and modern, and the views are definitely camera-worthy. Over this room broods the Tower, so close you could almost reach out and touch it. " Full review
Fodor's "An attractively renovated, century-old building so close to the 14th-century Galata Tower that you can almost reach out and touch it, the Anemon Galata provides plenty of old-world charm." Full review
Lonely Planet "Located on the attractive square surrounding Galata Tower, this wooden building dates from 1842 but has been completely rebuilt inside." Full review
