I had a really enjoyable stay at Hotel Ephesus in Istanbul. The room on the 8th floor was clean, spacious, and had a lovely sea view from the balcony. While the breakfast had plenty of options and the rooftop terrace was a lovely spot to sip coffee, there were a couple of hiccups during my stay, particularly with staff assistance on family room accommodations. Overall, though, the friendly staff and great location made my trip nice.
