Elite World Grand Istanbul Kucukyali
Room was big and clean, staff very friendly and helpful, breakfa st with lot of choices, only drawback there is nothing close by, expect hill town mall which is not on walking distance and too close for a taxi to drive you.

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.
