Take some slippers,Colwyn - very handy footwear in Japanese "themed" hotels.

In the end I booked into the Nippon. This is described as Japanese minimalist style. I'll let you know what I think after my stay.

Have a wonderful trip Colwyn

The last time I stayed in the Istanbul Hilton I got badly bitten by bed bugs,
mind you, it was in 1967  
Enjoy your trip Colwyn.

Colwyn, try and have a meal in the Orient Express Hotel which have a roof terrace and fabulous views across Istanbul.  It was my favourite place to eat.

or try Vogue in Besiktas or Sunset in Ulus. They do excellent sushi there although a beer will put you back 15 lira.
360 is another place that has maybe the best views anywhere.

Well I went to Istanbul - lots of clous and some rain whilst it was sweltering in Bristol. The Nippon was good; clean, modern, with good breakfast. Also an easy place to make connections to Ataturk Airport being only 50m from shuttle bus terminal. Scorcher, you will be pleased to know they provided me with house slippers.

Hope you went easy on the clous Colwyn.

[Colwyn]

I looked up clous and found it is French for pedestrian crossing. Indeed I was careful with these. Unfortunately I was not so careful elsewhere. I tripped over, fell awkwardly and broke a rib. Not so clever.

Not to worry, every clous has a silver lining

Here,s to a speedy recovery.
