Hotel Yasmak Sultan - Istanbul, Turkey     

At the end of June my family and I travelled to Istanbul by car. We had booked the hotel through the internet and we couldn't have chosen any better!!! Where should I start, from the view from the roof terrace? Or how clean the room was? Or should I mention the position of the hotel, right in the heart of the historical Istanbul. All the important sights were at walking distance. Or should I mention how polite and yet professional all the personelle was? Any how, the room was a bit small but so clean and the bathroom so beautifu! The minibar was filled up in a generous way and the room was cleaned always after we had left the room for our daily excursions. The view on the roof was breath taking and brekfast and dinner excellent. Restaurants menu mixed in a perfect way "oriental" and european kitchen. The personelle was polite and helpful so much at the desk, as also in the restaurant or garage. We have no doubt where we are going to stay in Istanbul on our next visit. We warmely reccomend Yasmak Sultan Hotel to any traveller that knows how to enjoy their trip. And don't make a mistake of staying just a weekend, Istanbul fills up easily a full week with all the fabulous sights it has to offer a traveller. We also want to thank all the personelle of Yasmak Sultan hotel for such a good service and especially the PR manager , Eda who helped us with a personal matter that occured to us while we were there. with regards Maarit and Eystathios Bolanos Athens, Greece

We stayed at the Yasmak Sultan for two nights when we arrived in Turkey. After two weeks of traveling throughout Turkey, we returned to the Yasmak Sultan for two nights prior to our departure for Paris. The Yasmak's staff are outstanding and their service is excellent. The rooms, though small, are very clean and comfortable. The bathroom is also small, but spotlessly cleaned. We liked the room best that faced the main street; we enjoyed opening the windows and watching Istanbul pass by. The top floor open-air dining room serves a wonderful breakfast (included in the room cost) with an extraordinary view of Istanbul and the Bosporus River. Best of all: the hotel is located within easy walking distance of the Blue Mosque, the Grand Bazaar, Haghia Sohia, and numerous small shoppes and eating establishments. When we return to Istanbul, we'll stay again at the Yasmak Sultan.
