IsraelAmazing hotel, lively at time when other hotels were empty due to corona (july 2020). Excellent turkish/swiss hospitality, we felt like royalty in this hotel. Great rooms with best rain showers. We enjoyed pool area every day and also superb relaxing massages at Purovel spa. Walking distance to lively areas of Taksim, Nisantasi, Besiktas and Macka park. We were in Istanbul many times but from now on this is our go to hotel for Istanbul.
Bosnia and HerzegovinaNice location for walking and parks nearby. Breakfast had good selection of items Used Hotel app and it worked well for room service dining and also room cleaning

TurkeyLuxurious Pristine property, gorgeous rooms incredible views of the Bospherous, the pool was incredible and best in class spa. The service was impeccable.
United States of AmericaEven at the lockdown period, the staff is working as perfect as they can. Pandemic percautions are at it’s best. 16 Roof view is breathtaking. It really is the best roof in town. Spa is still the best in Istanbul.
SwitzerlandAmazing hotel in every way. Loved everything about it very helpful and attentive housekeeping staff. The only thing I did not like was the bed mattress. It was too hard for my back. The housekeeping tried their best to help. It was better but not the best.
