Sozbir Royal Residence Hotel

Spacious rooms, great location, stunning views on european side and the strait. Nicely decorated, swimming pool. The european side is easily and quickly reachable by the ferry boat nearby which is perfect anytime excluding winter. Restaurant offers mouthwatering ayran (inevitable summer morning drink). Neighbourhood is quiet. There's a shoreline promenade with great views. Also there are some busy streets. There's also a historic site - Mihrimah Sultan Mosque, built by the famous architect Mimar Sinan.

I spent 14 days there it was really good! the swimming pool there is charming really and the atmosphere and the music is good. they kinda have a small collection of food for breakfast and the wifi isn't so good if you didn't book a pasha suit....

Great place next to Bosbhorus boats. Super rooms if having balcony like we had, nice view over Bosbhorus to heart of Istanbuls European side. If You want to rest in swimming pool, it is possible, even if in the heart of the city. Great service, breakfast ok, nearby shopping possibilities. Nothing but good to tell, even if critic is my habit .
