I had a generally positive experience at the hotel, especially with the room upgrade that made for a comfortable stay. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, which really enhanced my visit. The location was excellent, with plenty of shops and restaurants nearby, making it easy to explore. However, the room cleaning could have been improved, and the dining options left something to be desired, particularly the breakfast quality.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, thanks to its great location and the friendly staff. The rooms were clean and offered a good level of comfort, though noise from the nearby street could be bothersome at times. The service was exceptionally helpful, particularly the night receptionist, which added to the overall pleasant experience. However, the dining options left much to be desired, with limited breakfast choices that could really use improvement.

The hotel offers a clean and spacious stay with very comfortable beds, making it a pleasant choice. The staff was genuinely friendly and helpful throughout my visit. On the downside, dining was a letdown with some meals lacking variety, and the location, while convenient, sometimes struggled to accommodate guests during peak times.

The hotel was located in an excellent area, close to shopping and restaurants, making it very convenient for getting around.

I stayed at this hotel recently, and I must say the location is fantastic, really close to Cevahir Mall and in the heart of Istanbul. The rooms were nice but a bit small for my taste and lacked a dressing table. The service was generally friendly and helpful. On the downside, the dining options were quite limited and not very clean. Overall, I think it offers decent value for money, but there are some areas that could use improvement.

Rooms

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, which I really appreciated, but the noise from ambulances throughout the day and night was quite disruptive. The staff was very friendly and helpful, especially Shalla from the night shift. While the location was convenient with easy access to public transport, it also came with some noise issues. Overall, I found it a good value for money, but the noise did affect my stay.
