DK Eyewitness "Under the same polished management as the Pudding Shop, this is a distinctive Wedgwood blue konak (wooden mansion) restored in period style in the heart of Sultanahmet."

Frommer's "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." Full review
Concierge "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." Full review

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."
