When we travel we like to stay at a locally owned hotel and CVK fits the bill. We booked a balcony room facing the Bosporus with a gorgeous view and lounge privileges. The room was great with a large jacuzzi, rain shower and small hammam and a wonderful bed. The seating on the patio is perfect for morning coffee and night time relaxing. I could have slept out there since the weather was perfect with the sea breeze. The breakfast was one of the best of many hotels that I have stayed at during this trip: lean Mediterranean food, tasty pastry, yogurt bars, and egg stations. The best yet was the spa section: big salt indoor swimming pool and a roof top pool, the spa- big marble hammam, the sauna, steam room and rest area. If you are looking for a spa hotel that does not charge extra for a wonderful spa, this is the one. On the top of this is the great staff from the door persons, front desk and the cleaning crews. If we are in Istanbul again, we will definitely stay here again.

If you're looking for the perfect place to stay in Istanbul, this is it! 🕌✨ The views of the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia are unreal, the rooms are super modern (with amazing A/C!), and the free breakfast on the top floor overlooking the water is spectacular. But what really sets this place apart is the people. Everyone was so nice, especially Erkem from bell service. He was a absolute lifesaver, being incredibly helpful and even bringing me ice to help me heal after my hair surgery. 10/10 experience!
