Royal Istanbul!!!
This was our first trip to Istanbul, and it was beautiful. Our stay at Turkuaz Suites was a royal gem!!! Breakfast was a delight, and delicious. It was perfect for us and our two young children. We loved the spacious stay at our suite and the amenities. There are restaurants near by in walking distance.
Awesome stay at
The two bedroom apartment that we had was spacious, clean, comfortable and located in nice neighborhood of Beksitas. It is only minutes away from the Besiktas town and shops. The staff were friendly and helpful. We stayed for one week in the apartment in Dec 2015 and wish that we could stay longer. It is about 20 minutes walk from the Kabatas Ferry and Tram terminal.

Exceptional Stay at The Artisan Istanbul MGallery – Highly Recommended!
By far, one of the best 4-star hotels I have stayed at in Istanbul! The value for money is incredible, offering a clean, comfortable, and well-maintained experience that exceeds expectations. Rooms & Comfort (5/5) The hotel is spotless, and the rooms are superb—spacious, modern, and equipped with all amenities for a comfortable stay. The beds ensure a restful sleep, and the heating works perfectly during winter, making it a cozy retreat. The bathrooms are fantastic, with fresh-smelling towels and napkins always available. Food & Dining (4/5) While the breakfast and food options could have been better, they were still very good and satisfying.
Breakfast with a view from the 6th-floor rooftop!
It’s the best. It’s clean in itself, sophisticated, and the price is reasonable as well. Even with a city view, the breakfast place makes up for everything ^^. The service quality of the staff is very high, and I really liked the breakfast. Do not choose a shabby hotel near Galata Tower just because of its location, as it is only expensive compared to its facilities.

Exceptional
We loved the location, we loved the amazing helpful staff, naming those who I remember: Emre for the great help in finding few spots we needed in the neighborhood, the front desk amazing team Ali and Engin who always assisted us and helped us with our kids getting in and out, I can’t be much more thankful to them as well as the lady (forgot her name) in assisting my wife to find a proper hair dresser and make up 😊 The location of the hotel is vibe and not touristic such as taksim, it’s greatly located with cafes, bars, pubs, restaurants, street food, shops all within steps away. Plus it’s close to other point of interests within European side of Istanbul. We would definitely come back, thank you for making it amazing. We loved everything.

Couple’s 3-night stay in Beşiktaş during Istanbul vacation.
We transferred from Kadiköy to the hotel early in the morning after 3 nights by ferry. The hotel manager kindly allowed us an early check-in, and the staff were friendly. The European-style atmosphere and clean city vibe are nice. The value for the accommodation is a bit disappointing, but we bought groceries at the nearby market and had meals with steak and pasta, so the quiet and well-equipped apartment-style accommodation was satisfying. The hotel restaurant and gym are relatively small.
Such a GREAT place to stay!
Location was excellent. The reception staff are very proffisional, extended excellent customer service and were kind & courteous at all times 24/7 Cleaning crew and standards were extremely excellent. But I had a major & serious problem with Bayram (only one of the cleaning crew). He was very vulgar and disrespectful. He consistently knocked very strongly on my room door every day, with and without the red light on for service.
