“Not bad.”

Generally, the hotel is not bad. One thing that really shocked me was the hotel provided toothbrush, I found some traces of tooth paste on the brush indicating that it was used before. No Wi-Fi internet and the cable service cost is relatively hi. All staff were very friendly espicially the front disk staff.

“Nice new modern hotel”

It is a very nicely designed hotel, comfortable, chic, trendy, modern, friendly. Good service and the breakfast was very nice. There is a nightclub in the hotel, seemed quite hip, but we did not try it out. However, it did not pose any disturbance or annoyance in terms of noise level etc.

Area recommendations
The old city because it has all the historical sites. The markets and the Hamams, very very nice and relaxing.

“A Dream Come Thought”

This is my 4th time staying at The Sofa. It is the best experience a traveler (business or vacation) can expect. They have thought about every little detail that you will encounter during your stay. The staff is personal and will go out of the box to make your stay a pleasure.

“Great high street shopping location”

A really trendy, modern hotel, lovely decor and comfortable big bed. Great location, esp if you're looking for high street shops (and in particular shoes!). Lots of little restaurants and coffee shops around as well. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Highly recommend it.

“Lovely”

We were impressed with the hotel - small, pleasant, private, great area. We were a little nervous not to be in the old city, but we had never been to Istanbul... It's within 30 or so minutes walking (which we like to do) or a cheap cab ride. The area is very safe and cool - shopping, restaurants and some decent nightlife, although we had a hard time finding places during the day to have an alcoholic beverage

Traveler's tip
If you like to shop this is a great area, both boutique-y and upscale, with a few outdoor restaurants and great walking area.
