the views from the hotel room and the restaurant are more than perfect. It is ideal for a short romantic getaway.

Rizwan, Saudi Arabia

The view , quietness, the garden of the hotel in front the Bosporus is just chrming and amazing.. I recommend this place for people who looking for a quiet place to relax and enjoying the view .. but for those who want to discover the city and sightseeing it is difficult to reach the European sight Where most tourist attractions are located..

The style of the property is like a 2-house floor. The outside garden in front of the ocean. And the peace and tranquility of seeing ships pass by in the evening or morning. The front desk staff were very quick to meet my requests and were extremely efficient.

“Stunning location, maybe a little complacent - considering the price tag?”
- • Leisure trip

Hotel really hot! Heating on in the corridors even though it was a super warm weekend. Air-con unit in bedroom working, but unable to cool the room to a comfortable sleeping temperature. Beautiful old building (an old Raki factory), but for some reason they haven't insulated the roof. I don't like saying anything against this place as it was such a lovely location, but I wouldn't want to stay here in high summer - unless the air con is working better. Also, use of the outside space isn't what I was expecting from the photographs - if you have a loft room/garden suite, you can sit outside on the grassy area (as shown in the photos), but if you don't, there are some high tables to sit at which are right by the waters edge and the restaurant (where the 3 front tables are by the waters edge)
Stunning location, bewitching views from all the rooms down the bosphorus, super happy! Very private hotel - didn't feel like a hotel at all, in a good way. Room very comfortable and spent many hours enjoying the view. Staff very helpful. Cengelkoy a lovely very un-touristy location, with lots of local restaurants to chose from. Easy to get to the main tourist areas of Istanbul - hop in a taxi to Uskudar and then ferry. Only 140 TYL from new airport - metered taxis are fine.

the only thing that i will comment about is the dated bathroom , my room was Vanikoy as i remember & based on the hotel location & room design the bathroom definitely needs to be changed as well as the bathroom door since its made of wood you can see the wood soaked with water and got damaged , also bathtubs now are old dated designs better for the size of the bathroom to make it as a shower box . also the Key i guess it should bean access card better than a key . other than this i do not have any issues . these are minor issues that i think as a interior designer if they are fixed it will be the PERFECT HOTEL FOR PERFECT GETAWAY .

“A gorgeous location, lovely comfortable rooms and delightful if you don't count the traffic!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Deluxe Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
The road traffic over the bridge linking East & West Istanbul was so bad that it took over 2 hours to get to the hotel from Attaturk Airport on arrival, and was almost as bad on the return journey. In fact traffic throughout Istanbul is dreadful almost all the time. This meant during our stay we had to avoid using that route (the main highway over the Bosphorus close to the hotel), and it resulted in us having to carefully plan our Old Town excursions or indeed anywhere else on the European side of the city (where most of the sights are anyway). Its not Sumahan's fault but it might cause future guests to reassess their choice of hotel location. Apparently the hotel used to run their own water taxi launch, but not anymore. A pity because if they did, it would make a big difference to their sightseeing or even business oriented guests in terms of convenience.
Great waterfront location. Very clean and comfortable rooms. Excellent reception staff.
