The hotel is perfectly situated near Taksim Square, allowing easy exploration on foot, but the rooms show signs of aging despite having nice amenities. Service was exceptionally friendly and even included a surprise upgrade to a luxurious Presidential suite. The central location offers quick access to all of Istanbul's attractions, making it a convenient choice. The dining experience, while with some variety, may not match expectations for the price paid.

The hotel offers a beautiful side view of the Bosphorus from its immaculate rooms, but they need some attention and renovation. The service, although efficient, lacks friendliness and flexibility. The location is perfect for exploring Taksim Square and Nisantasi, just a short walk away. Dining is quite expensive and not the best value for money.

The hotel offers fantastic views over the Bosphorus, with cozy and comfortable rooms that are clean. However, updates and new carpets are needed. The service is exceptional, with very helpful and friendly staff, although professionalism could be improved in some instances. The location is convenient, with easy access to Taksim Square and Nisantasi, but the room views vary. The dining experience is top-notch, with fresh dishes, although individual pricing for menu items could be fairer. The facilities are well-rounded with all needed comforts.

My stay at the hotel was wonderful! The rooms were spacious with a ceiling-to-floor window offering a stunning Bosporus view. They were a bit dated but very clean, and it was the first bathroom on our trip through Europe that still had a bath instead of a walk-in shower. The service was fantastic with always smiling staff who were happy to assist with anything I needed.
