The staff was very helpful and accommodating. The location is very near the Grand Bazaar. They made the arrangements for a tour. The tour company did not come to pick me up, but the hotel staff made contacts that got to the meeting place in time. The roof top restaurant was nice for meals (nicely prepared and presented) as well as for the included breakfast. The view of the Bosporus was good if you could ignore the industrial areas also in the view. The air conditioning was problematic and kept shutting off. I opened the window and that worked fine. I did not call and complain so they may have been able to adjust it properly. If you take a taxi back to the airport, be sure that the hotel knows you want a metered taxi, not their personalized service. It should cost about 40TL plus tip.
I love this hotel. The staff was friendly. The beds were so comfortable I wanted to buy the bedding. The breakfast buffet was very nice as well. The location was w/i walking distance of all the main attractions/shopping.
The head desk clerk (male) was extremely helpful & pleasant, as was another man who took his place over the holiday week. One desk clerk, a young woman with long light-colored hair,was not at all helpful, at any time! My room key (electronic card) had to be changed 5 days out of 13 because it didn't work, and the bed was so hard I had to fold the extra bedding & sleep on it. Otherwise, everything FINE.
Was a wonderful hotel within one block from the metro line. Only about 4 blocks from the Grand Bazaar. A few nice eating places nearby, but easy to hop on Metro and go anywhere to eat that you wanted. The hotel was so clean, the wonderful basement cistern was fantastic, the staff was marvelous, and the breakfast had a view and food to die for. A great value. Would stay there again.
The hotel was very nice. The only negative was the short hours of the sauna which we missed.
