“Kybele Hotel's biggest draw is its unabashedly maximalist aesthetic; it feels like stumbling into a beloved private collection near the Hagia Sophia. The location is undeniably prime for exploring Sultanahmet, but it's the uniquely personal atmosphere cultivated by the owners that makes an impression. I suspect returning guests feel more like they're visiting family than simply booking a room.”
