Catherine, United Kingdom

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..

눉Loft rooms over two floors were not too child friendly due to large gaps between rails. Although the restaurant had a high chair, they didn’t have kids menu. Also, there weren’t vegetarian options on the menu.

눉The room furniture is very outdated, food is well priced but very average in taste...they couldn't do wonders with this place. But it seems that they do not want to try much as they know that the location will bring them customers in any case.
눇the views from the hotel room and the restaurant are more than perfect. It is ideal for a short romantic getaway.

“Beautiful by the Bosphorus but ungenerous in its rules and restrictions”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Deluxe Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉Sumahan is beautiful but it's not really working as a hotel. It is not luxurious enough to warrant the high price and not functional enough to warrant the price either! It's oddly restrictive. First, it's hard to get to unless you take a taxi. We didn't and took a boat and two buses like the locals. It was a long, hot, slightly sick time standing on the bus all the way. The hotel's own yacht isn't an option at some price we never quite gathered but in the 100s. Second, breakfast was offered at 12 euros per person and was really pathetic. Fruit was a small bowl of melon - when the fruit stalls in the city are laden with cherries, apricots, peaches and fresh figs. A bit of cheese and some olives, and eggs. Come off it. We had a better breakfast by far in our previous cheap tourist hotel in Sultanahmet. We got our own breakfast in Cengilkoy and sat by the water and ate it. Third, the steam room is 25 euros a go. Again, you have to be kidding. The gym was tiny and limited but OK for a run on the treadmill. Fourth, the sun loungers shown on the pictures are for suite guests only. Others have to sit on benches or stools by the water admittedly, but not for lounging. Again, an annoying restriction and not properly advertised. Sumahan is beautiful but has no atmosphere and needs a new business model. Could do better but having said that, thank you to the kind and helpful staff.
눇The location is fantastic with all rooms looking out on the Bosphorus and the light and the water traffic providing endless shifting scenes of beauty. It is indeed an oasis from the crazy life of the city.

눉It is far from the airport and difficult to find a taxi here in this side of the city and it also cost expensive to reach to other sites of the city ..
눇The 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..
