- I really have to take the time out to thank Kemal (I hope I am getting his name right!). Kemal was observant enough to see that I was struggling with loneliness during my time in Istanbul, and he went out of his way to suggest things for me to do that would help me enjoy my time! He was kind and compassionate and through his help I gained confidence and was able to fully enjoy your city. I couldn't thank him enough if I tried. I chose the right hotel and would recommend to everyone!
