Very clean, safe, in a good area of town, the staff was very polite and friendly. The property has a beautiful restaurant on top of the building with magnificent views of the city and the Bosphorus. The lobby area restaurants are convenient, however a la cart menu a bit expensive compared to eating on local neighbourhoods.
Even though there is a dedicated smoking section on one side of the ground floor restaurant, the smoke and smell of cigarettes permiates through out the lobby and reception area. It is almost impossible to avoid the smoke, unfortunatelly this applies to the room I was given, the smoke came to my room thru the AC vents.
My room upgrade was not as good as I expected; a small room on the 3rd floor without significant views.
