Cityloft 147
The hotel is in good location, clean and modern. Breakfast is below standard and is not worth the $10 charged for it.

The Ritz-Carlton, Istanbul
Excellent hotel and great courteous service. My only peeve is that though it is a nice area but at 3/4 of a kilometer away from shopping areas.
