"Great location walking distance to all the attractions and metro is close by too. Staff were kind and helpful. The breakfast on 9th floor was so beautiful.
The only issue was our room door, every time wouldn’t open with the card until after several attempts."
"The location of this hotel is superb, central to all main attractions, shops and tram. The hotel itself is pristine, rooms cleaned every day to a very high standard. The biggest asset is the staff who are all friendly, professional and extremely helpful and attentive. A special mention to Ozan, the concierge, who went above and beyond to make our staff a memorable and enjoyable experience."
"The hotel was clean and cute. Great location as far walkable to major sites.
Staff in the restaurant is fabulous.
Buffet breakfast was mediocre with the usual cold eggs but you can order eggs from the kitchen."
"Great location, hotel was clean and the staff were very helpful. It was easy to get to the attractions from the hotel and the area had a lot of shops and restaurants. Nice and quiet at night. We arrived very late and the gentleman at the front desk was so kind. He called a restaurant to see if they were still open and could accommodate us. Provided us with umbrellas because it was raining. Would definitely recommend this hotel if you are visiting Istanbul."
"I did not like that my room was in the anex area, which is a separate area from the rest of the hotel and i was not aware of when I got my room. The decor is a little outdated. The location and staff service was great"
"This is a lovely hotel. Really conveniently located, our room was clean & comfortable & the breakfast was delicious. The lady who cooked them made a superb omelette. All the staff were super friendly & went out of their way to be helpful & accommodating. So close to all Istanbul has to offer. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this hotel & would definitely stay again."
