"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

"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."

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.

"This is the ideal place to spoil yourself. Less authentically refurbished than some other establishments, it is, nevertheless, a refined hotel that deserves its palace title."

"This low-lying reddish-pink boutique-hotel in the heart of Old Istanbul was designed to look old in a faux-Classical style that some will like while leaving others cold." Full review

Staffers are friendly although a bit distant and not quick on their feet to respond to guest requests.
