Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is located in the heart of Taksim, making it perfect to explore Istiklal Street and Taksim Square. The rooms are spacious and give a homely feel, although they don't specify the exact rooms during check-in. The service was top-notch, especially a shoutout to Mr TUFAN at the reception for arranging taxis and assisting with various services. The dining experience has room for improvement, leaning more towards local products. The hotel facilities provide a comfortable stay, with amenities catering well to guests.
The hotel offers a spacious room with lovely sun room and exceptional beds, but the Bosporus view was not as advertised. The service was super friendly and accommodating, though some aspects like changing bed stuff could be improved. The location is unbeatable right by Istiklal Street, near everything you need. The dining experience needs improvement in terms of food selection. Overall, a comfortable stay with friendly staff in a prime location.
The hotel offers immaculate rooms with spectacular decor; however, it comes at a slightly higher price. The service is very friendly and accommodating, particularly the cleaning team, despite some language barriers. The location is perfect, right at the beginning of istiklal street, offering easy access to various attractions. The dining experience is good but could be improved in terms of efficiency. Overall, a great choice for a luxurious stay.

The hotel offers a pleasant stay with friendly staff, but the 'Bosporus View' room was not as expected. The location is convenient but busy, and the dining experience could be improved.
I found the hotel to be an excellent choice for my stay. The rooms were really spacious and comfortable, offering a great view. Although the location was a bit challenging due to the busy street, it was perfect for exploring the vibrant surroundings of Taksim Square and Istiklal Avenue. The service was exceptional, with the staff being polite and attentive. The dining experience was satisfactory but could use some improvements to cater better to foreign guests.
