This a very modern and high-quality boutique hotel with nice decoration. Located on the asian side of Istanbul; just by the sea. Although expensive, it offers good value for money... My wife and I stayed in a dublex suit on the night of our wedding. Dublex suit has a living room downstairs and bedroom upstairs. Furnished in a modern style... More

What a view, sitting in front of the open window: hearing, seeing, smelling Istanbul and the Bosphorus. Beautiful designed hotel, great restaurant. Good rooms, nice attentive staff. A retreat away from the very busy.

Situated on the Bosphorous, it has great views and a lovely waterside terrace. It's on the Asian side of the river and it makes a wonderful retreat from the hustle and bustle of the European side. Great architecture, lovely rooms, super food, friendly and helpful staff and the boattrip across to the other side is special. Highly recommended!

This is a wonderful Hotel on the Asian side of the Bosphorus and far from the Hustle Bustle of the Old City. The Rooms are all facing the Water, decent size, clean and service was Great. Do try the Tapas restaurant around 5-6pm, and the Sunset is so memorable that you will never forget.

Housed in an old liquor warehouse, this small hotel is luxurious from its beds to its cuisine. Although it is away from the major sights, the hotel has its own boat that takes guests across at no extra cost. My room was spotlessly clean and the front desk staff were friendly AND helpful. I loved that they want to help... More

Although located on the Asian side of the river Bosphorus which flows within metres of each of the Sumahan's luxurious rooms, and almost an hour from Ataturk airport, the hotel's pluses - of which there are a surfeit - far outweigh any niggles that may exist. Sumahan on the water was designed and lovingly created like a work of art... More

Sumahan on the water is no less than it says; it could not be closer to the Bosphorus if you tried, with stunning views of the first bridge (Bosphorus Bridge) and distant views towards the Golden Horn with Topkapi Palace and Hagia Sophia silhouetted. The Hotel itself, an old distillery, was more recently converted by the Architect husband and wife... More
