  LA Beach Nusa Penida

  - “We are so happy to have chosen LA Beach as the main accommodation for our holiday! We stayed for 6 nights. The staff were all so helpful and friendly. Location was perfect for us to be diving with Pure Dive just across the road. We stayed in the upper balcony rooms. There is a partition we could open so we shared the balcony but had our own separate room. Watching sunrise from our balcony each morning was a highlight! Rooms are clean and they service daily to make the bed and mop. The bed is super comfy! There was a small open wardrobe that was helpful to unpack my things for the week duration of our stay. The pool is clean and a gorgeous area for relaxing. There is a set of steps to access the beach on low tide. Breakfast was modest (but still good value given the price of the rooms). We really appreciated the staff accommodating our request to have an early breakfast due to diving.”

  Hagia Sofia Mansions Istanbul, Curio Collection by Hilton

  - “Our room--a junior suite in the Green Mansion--was wonderful in every way. Huge, with a separate sitting room and full of light from many windows. The bathroom also huge and spectacular, like a Sultan"s :) It had beautiful tiles and Turkish ironwork lamps. All the decor was vibrant and new. It did not seem like a hotel chain but rather custom-designed luxury that felt exotic and uniquely Turkish. Top quality bed and linens, plus a very good sleep due to the quiet, car-free road. This hotel and the room itself made our stay in Istanbul special. There are other buildings but I recommend staying in the Green Mansion. The location is exceptional. Every historic sight is an easy walk. The street is peaceful, shady and pretty, it's a a world apart from the tourist crowds. Pedestrian only, but golf carts pick you up, so there's no worry about transporting luggage. They are always available. We felt so glad we chose this hotel over others that we considered nearby (The Four Seasons just around the corner, was on a street full of noise, exhaust and dust-- tons of cars idling and construction directly in front of it). The Green Mansion also has a garden w trees, flowers and a fountain-- bar and restaurant. It is the perfect respite from the heat. A special thanks to the front desk staff: Olga (I hope that is her name (?) a slim blonde young woman at the from desk) who upgraded us without our asking, and also the duty manager Sirkhan Granz. The young men who drove the carts were outstandingtoo, friendly and very helpful.”
