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

Concierge "There is no such thing here as a room without some kind of a view."
Travel + Leisure "Amenities include an on-site Turkish hamam (sauna), indoor pool, and outdoor spa in the summer months, but the real attraction might be the views of the Bosphorus and Golden Horn." Full review
Star Service "This hotel is more modern than the other luxury brands in town and escapes the opportunity for Turkish decor and heavy architectural influence." Full review
Jetsetter "Past meets present with Ottoman-inspired rooms and a high-end hammam in a modernist skyscraper in bustling Beyoglu." Full review
