Make sure to try their dessert selection; the sweet treats were surprisingly good and a great way to end your hookah session.

I think you should check out their menu before you go, the food is really delicious, but some items can be a bit pricey.

I suggest checking out the seating options before you settle in. I went for a corner couch that seemed cozy, but it was a bit cramped in the end

if you want to save some cash, keep an eye out for their happy hour deals, especially on drinks. i didn’t realize they had them until i got there, and i missed out!

My tip is to bring cash if you can. Some places in Istanbul prefer cash, and it can save you on transaction fees with card payments.

I think it's a good idea to compare prices on drinks before ordering as some might be a little pricier than expected. Just check the menu first!

I suggest going in the early afternoon around 3 PM when it's less crowded. You'll enjoy a more relaxed vibe, plus get good seating without waiting.

I recommend getting there around 9 AM. That way, you can beat the crowds and snag the best views from the top. Trust me, it gets packed fast!

If you can, buy your tickets online in advance. I found that it saved me a lot of time, plus you might snag a better deal!

Don't ignore the nearby cafes! I was too eager to hop on the cable car. Grab a snack and enjoy the view before your ride, it really adds to the experience.

If you can, visit early in the morning around 9 AM. It's less crowded and you'll get clearer views of the mountains. I made the mistake of going later and it was packed!

Check the weather before you go. I strolled in on a cloudy day and missed all the stunning views. A sunny day makes all the difference for photos!

Definitely try the rooftop bar for some amazing cocktails. It's a bit pricey, but the happy hour from 5 PM to 7 PM offers great deals.

I think it’s worth investing in a room with a view. The sights from your room in the morning are breathtaking and absolutely enhance your stay.

My advice is to explore the spa area after a swim in the pool. The facilities are top-notch and not too crowded in the morning, you can really relax.

I think it’s worth asking about happy hour deals. I totally missed out on some great discounts on drinks because I didn't inquire. Don’t let that happen to you!

My advice is to share plates with friends. The portions are generous, but if you go solo, you might end up spending too much. Plus, it’s more fun to taste different dishes!

I highly recommend trying their special hookah flavors; the fruit mixes are a must! I was blown away by the mango mint combo. Just remember to ask the staff for recommendations based on what you like

i think you should check out the happy hour deals from 5 pm to 7 pm. we saved a good amount on both drinks and hookah, which made the night even better!
