The rooftop terrace, mentioned by many, is a definite highlight, offering those iconic Istanbul views during breakfast. What stood out most, though, was the personalized service - it seems the staff genuinely invests in making each stay memorable.”

prime location varied breakfast friendly staff
The location was seriously prime!!! it was so close to all the main attractions, i could walk everywhere. the breakfast buffet was amazing with so many choices every single day, i stuffed myself!!! the staff was super friendly and helpful. They arranged a private airport transfer for me, such a relief.
the elevator was a bit slow sometimes, so i occasionally took the stairs.

a decent experience overall
beautiful view cheerful staff wonderful view small room uncomfortable bed constant noise
The breakfast had a beautiful view FROM the top floor. The staff WAS cheerful and available when I needed anything. My room had a wonderful view of the blue mosque.
The room was unexpectedly small. THE beds were also uncomfortable. There was noise all day and night. It came from some pipes. I could hear the noise from somewhere in the hotel.
