Laurent Adrien, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Fabulous location and incredible views of the Bosporus. Personalized service and a friendly, helpful and caring staff whose warm greetings always made me feel at home. Even though I had a problem with booking ( “no refunds” —- I had made an error on my arrival day) I was more than happy to return after a five-day excursion to Cappadocia. General Manager Ali was available in person and by text for any question or concern. I enjoyed the rooftop restaurant. And the staff there accommodated my special requests. (Restaurant service was a bit slow, but I was not in a rush. Vacation! The meals were delicious and always beautifully plated, and presented with style)
Marcia, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

I stayed at this hotel in 2012 and would say it was better then. The breakfast was better then. The air conditioning in our room was not cold enough even set at 16 degrees. The mattresses in the rooms where not the most comfortable and far too soft. The room window would not close tightly and hence could hear the traffic all night long. The rooms were clean, showers were also good, however in some of the other rooms my party stayed in the shower cubicles were tiny. Front reception staff were nice, Ilker and Mahmud. Staff at breakfast time were not very friendly either. Best thing about this hotel is the view from the roof restaurant area, overlooking the city.
