This is my fourth stay at this hotel over the years. Excellent location, right in the heart of Cihangir. Helpful and courageous frontdesk/concierge. However the loud music and bass well passed midnight from downstairs club was super annoying. As I’ve mentioned before this is my fourth stay at this hotel, the condition of the rooms, linens and towels were unacceptable at this time! Crusty and old towels, linens with cigarette burns, dust bunnies hanging off the walls and nail clippings in the shower are not acceptable and unsanitary…

everything was good, just need more mirror in the room, the only mirror was in the bathroom, breakfast buffet was ok, but his who was a waiter in breakfast buffet was unfriendly, I understand Turkish and heard if he doesn't talk nice after guests, I know he runs a lot during breakfast but it should be more perfectionist to work with people, the hotel website states room service but we did not get it when we requested breakfast for one of us in the room

Auch ein großes Danke an den Mitarbeiter Mustafa, sehr aufmerksam und hilfsbereit und immer ein Lächeln parat. Frühstücksbuffet auf der Dachterrasse ein Traum, viel Auswahl, sauber und lecker. Wir übernachten gerne wieder in diesem Hotel.

Fint hotell, flott beliggenhet

Veldig bra beliggenhet, nære Taksim square og handlegaten, samt lett å få tak i taxi, men samtidig trukket litt vekk fra de mest folksomme og bråkete gatene. Rommene er utrolig fine og moderne, bra aircondition og gpd komfort. Betjeningen er hyggelig, men noen hadde litt dårlige engelskkunnskaper. Renholdet var utrolig bra! Renholderen var verdens hyggeligste og skjønneste dame. Eneste forbedringen jeg vil komme med er frokosten. Flotte lokaler, men etter min mening for dårlig utvalg, så det trekker ned 1 stjerne.
