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 "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

"A boutique property located just north of central Istanbul, The Sofa Hotel is popular with both business and leisure travelers." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"Sofa is a stylish, art-filled hideaway in buzzy Nisantasi." Full review
Lonely Planet "The Sofa has got lots going for it – extremely comfortable rooms packed with amenities, a spa... and the fashionable Longtable restaurant – but what makes this place truly distinctive is its service." Full review
