We mainly stayed in the hotel for the AMAZING views it has over the Bosphorus. it's a small boutique like hotel very beautiful and clean. It has a beautiful library with great books of Istanbul and Turkey. Loved the ambience of this hotel. The staff were very attentive and set up a very wonderful breakfast in our garden overlooking the Bosphorus.
KuwaitThe staff were helpful, friendly The services were average
Saudi Arabiathe location and the view is great.. it feels like heaven. I booked a family suite with a garden and sea view . It would be just good enough to stay at the hotel and not to go anywhere where. The staff we good and friendly plus provided all needed services with us asking even an extra bed even though there was a sofa bed in the room. when we arrived there was a welcome note which was a nice gesture with chocolate.
KuwaitApart from the amazing view, the hotel staff was very welcoming, friendly and accommodative. Our stay at Sumahan really exceeded our big expectations. Don't think twice if Sumahan is in your shortlist or radar.

QatarThe view is magical, from the room and from the restaurant, the place is so quiet, it's so romantic. we celebrated our anniversary there and created some wonderful memories. The staff is so nice and professional starting from the reception who left us a nice welcoming message, and the staff in the restaurant who were so nice, also the hotel owner who passed by in our last day while we were eating at the restaurant to say hello and make sure that all were good. i will definitely come back again.
