Disliked: Staff & service
Although the hotel is fantastic in terms of location, decor and views, especially from the restaurant, going to breakfast was a real highlight. I had a problem with a light sensor in my room in that it stay on if the aircon was on. If I switched off the a/c then the room was dark but very hot. I didn’t get a good nights sleep. I the front desk twice and spoke to the receptionist in person. Each time they promised to send someone up but they didn’t. I was only there three nights so I chose to put up with it as the other factors outweighed the light. Issue. And I would stay there again.

Solid hotel won't disappoint
Solid hotel in an area very convenient to the main tourist sites in Istanbul. Great lobby staff (bellmen, reception, etc.). It might seem minor, but the towels were very coarse (I mean, we're in the land of Turkish towels, so step up the game a bit there, please), and the bathtub/shower was a difficult if you're at all movement impaired. Very good breakfast included. Room had all of the basic amenities. Price was competitive.

Excellent hotel with a fantastic breakfast and staff.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and had an amazing time exploring Istanbul!
