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.

Recital Hotel
Clean hotel, nice rooms, good breakfast. The only issue was that it was a bit noisy at night. If you are not heavy sleeper the noise bothers you.
