Sultanhan Hotel - Special Class

Sultanhan Hotel - Special Class

8/10 Good

"The hotel’s front office and housekeeping staff were very helpful and nice. Hotel’s location was also excellent for most of the historic sites such as Topkapi Palace, Hagia Sofia, Underground Cisterns, Blue Mosque and the Grand Bazaar."

CVK Park Bosphorus Hotel Istanbul

CVK Park Bosphorus Hotel Istanbul

10/10 Excellent

"When we travel we like to stay at a locally owned hotel and CVK fits the bill. We booked a balcony room facing the Bosporus with a gorgeous view and lounge privileges. The room was great with a large jacuzzi, rain shower and small hammam and a wonderful bed. The seating on the patio is perfect for morning coffee and night time relaxing. I could have slept out there since the weather was perfect with the sea breeze. The breakfast was one of the best of many hotels that I have stayed at during this trip: lean Mediterranean food, tasty pastry, yogurt bars, and egg stations. The best yet was the spa section: big salt indoor swimming pool and a roof top pool, the spa- big marble hammam, the sauna, steam room and rest area. If you are looking for a spa hotel that does not charge extra for a wonderful spa, this is the one. On the top of this is the great staff from the door persons, front desk and the cleaning crews. If we are in Istanbul again, we will definitely stay here again."
