9/10 Wonderful! (477 reviews)
Gleam Bomonti is our to-go place in Istanbul. We like the area and the fact it’s not in the middle of a touristy hassle, yet the neighborhood and authentic Sisli feel is there and we always love it. Use of spas, availability of the massages and delicious diverse breakfast choices make it for us place we will always return when in Istanbul.
