Beautiful heritage hotel overlooking the Bosphorus

Pros: The decor, ambiance, courteous staff - just about everything!
Cons: A small kettle for hot water or a coffee maker with a few sachets of tea and coffee would go a long way.
Location: I do not think any hotel has a better view of the Bosporus
I was a sea Captain having sailed to the Black sea and back through the Bosporus over a dozen times and always looked at this hotel in awe albeit from afar and wished one day I will stay here and I did. A dream come true for sure.
