I have stayed in many boutique hotels round the world, but Sumahan exceeds all the other ones by miles. This hotel is a very special place on the Bosphorous with amazing views. I have since stayed here many times, the service is outstanding and the staff are very helpful and they go out of their way to satisfy you, i.e... More

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this property, a stunning location with great views, combined with helpful friendly staff who would literally go out of their way to assist in making my stay a pleasant one! I would not hesitate to go back to this hotel again More

Istanbul and the Sumahan are both world treasures! We spent a delightful Thanksgiving week with our family in this high-style, yet cozy and nurturing boutique hotel. Each of the 20 rooms has a magnificent view of the Bosphorus,with a private launch to ferry guests from Asia to Europe; if you miss the launch, the public ferry is a 5-minute walk... More

Right on the Bosphorous with remarkable views from every room this place is an masterpiece of architecture and design. Recently renovated from an old industrial building, the hotel has wonderfully comfortable rooms (with fireplaces), spa, outstanding restuarant, and lovely library. The hotel's cute commuter boat runs guests across the water to center Istanbul, avoiding all the impossible road traffic, a... More

We enjoyed our stay at Sumahan. Our room overlooked the Bosporus with a view of the bridge and light show at night and the endless parade of boats. The staff were kind and the owners delightful! The restaurant was great - don't miss the bulgur salad with pomegranate sauce. More

Hotel isn't super fancy inside or out, but I liked the atmosphere. I didn't find much to do on the Asian side other than be a foodie. I liked the shuttle boat, but operated by "Captain Crabby", he certainly wasn't there for his hospitality. Had a suite with a great view of the Bosphorus bridge, with it's nightly light show....

We stayed one week in the top suite and spent well over A$6000(US$7000). Firstly, on a positive note, the breakfast staff in the restaurant were great and accommodating to everything, absolutely lovely. The loveliness stopped there. We experienced noise from both the kitchen and the public restaurant right next to our room. We were given incorrect directions to entertainment that... More

We have been spending a wonderful week in this hotel, from Nov. 12th 2011 We found it excellent, under every possible aspect: the friendliness of the people in all the departments, the quality of the services, the position and the spectacular view of the city have contributed to make our stay an unfogettable one. We'd love to be back here... More

We stayed here on the 18th of October 11 for a birthday treat and anniversary celebration. I come across the hotel by luck because I was trying to book a nice place in Istanbul and Sumahan come up; I read the reviews and decided to book it. It was a wonderful experience could not be a better choice. It is... More
