    spa treatments
    pool area
    limited breakfast selection

    I had a lovely stay and absolutely adored the spa treatments, especially the Turkish bath and relaxing sauna sessions. The rooms were well-maintained and the pool area provided a nice spot to unwind. Just a heads-up, the breakfast selection could use a bit more variety, but overall, it was a great experience! 😊

    bosphorus view
    daily housekeeping
    good breakfast
    repetitive breakfast

    After spending 10 nights here, I loved the views of the Bosphorus from my room and the daily housekeeping was top-notch. The breakfast spread was decent but repetitive over time. Overall, I wouldn't choose this place again due to some inconsistencies.

    great location
    poor breakfast options

    Great stay with friends! The room was clean and comfy, and the location makes it easy to get around. Just be prepared for limited breakfast options.

    We faced issues with check-in where they didn't have change to give back, making it a bit awkward. The breakfast was lacking variety.

    cheerful staff

    It was just an appropriate option for a getaway in Istanbul with attractive and competitive value for money. The only good thing was the staff at the front desk were cheerful and helpful with room changes. Avoid staying on weekends if you want to get some sleep.

    dirty bathroom
    uncomfortable beds

    The room was a mess. It felt dirty with hair from previous guests on the bathroom floor. The beds were uncomfortable and honestly, the whole space seemed neglected. The noise from other guests didn’t help either. Not what I expected for a hotel stay.

    great location
    clean room
    awkward check-in
    limited breakfast
    poor change management

    The location is outstanding, just a short walk to the metro station and Taksim center, making it easy to explore the area. The rooms are clean and comfortable, providing a refreshing atmosphere after a long day. Breakfast had a limited variety, which was disappointing, and there were some awkward moments during check-in related to change. I enjoyed the sweet biscuits offered at breakfast. they were a lovely treat each morning.

    great views , but limited breakfast options

    The family room was spacious and comfortable for our stay. The hotel offers stunning sea views that truly enhanced our experience. The staff were friendly and attentive, which made us feel welcomed throughout our visit.

    The breakfast selection was limited and could use more variety.

    great location
    friendly staff
    noisy environment
    room cleanliness

    The hotel's location near Taksim square is a highlight, offering easy access to the city. However, the room cleanliness left much to be desired, with outdated features and a noisy environment. Despite the friendly staff, issues like long waits for breakfast and maintenance made my experience less enjoyable.
