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."

Frommer's "Although the hotel's "anything, anytime service" applies to guests of the suites only, the slogan is indicative of the personalized service the hotel strives to provide to all guests." Full review
Concierge "If you can forgive the rather humdrum name and slightly away-from-center location... you'll be treated to a modern boutique hotel of European-caliber quality and design."
Fodor's "Design is the emphasis here, with large rooms that have attractive contemporary textiles and furniture in neutral tones and reds, as well as an eponymous trademark sofa." Full review
Travel + Leisure "No neighborhood in Istanbul exudes more European chic than Nisantisi. The Sofa Hotel is a prime example." Full review
Star Service "Located in the city's premier design and fashion neighborhood housing the trendiest shops and cafes, this boutique-hotel targets a younger clientele." Full review

"Sofa is a stylish, art-filled hideaway in buzzy Nisantasi." Full review
