Reviews and Ratings
My stay at this hotel was truly remarkable. The rooms were very big and finally provided a comfortable bed with a magical view. The room service was exceptional, and the housekeeping staff was extremely clean and nice to us. Despite rejecting the initial room offered, the staff were accommodating and friendly throughout our stay.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel, with clean and relaxing rooms on a higher floor offering a perfect view of Istanbul. The service was top-notch, though a bit slow during check-in and check-out. The location was convenient for business travelers in the area or those with a car, but a bit far from major tourist attractions. The dining options were varied, yet some choices lacked creativity. Overall, a comfortable and welcoming hotel with some room for improvement.
The hotel offers amazing rooms that are comfortable and come with great facilities, but there were a few hiccups such as wrong restaurant orders and delays in room readiness. The service was top-notch with kind and helpful staff like Mr Ozam, Cirin, and Aysel. The location, though a bit far from central Istanbul and shopping areas, features a hamam, sauna, and an 'adventure shower. ' The dining options could have been improved with more food selections. Overall, a quality deal with room for enhancements.
The hotel's location is a bit far from the city center, but it's close to the international Ataturk Airport. The rooms are spacious and luxurious, but cleanliness could be improved. The service is average and could benefit from better English and Arabic skills. The dining options are limited but the grilled meat is a standout. The facilities are decent overall.
I arrived at our hotel room at 8:00 am expecting a clean and comfortable stay. The room was well-furnished and cozy, although there were traces of cigarettes and even cigarette butt marks on the carpet, which was a downside. The temperature inside the room was a bit high at 27 degrees, but overall, the room provided a high and comfortable standard.
