    I liked the location it’s close to Şişli and Beşiktaş, there’s a metro station and bus stops near the hotel. The room had a beautiful city view, a clean hotel with a very helpful staff

    Breakfast was almost predictable. Charges for the parking was slightly higher. Limited food and winelist menus.

    The location was great, with a view of the Bosphorus from the upper floors. The rooftop restaurant with amazing view and entertainment. The indoor heated swimming pool was a hit with the kids. Good breakfast daily! Helpful concierge and front desk.

    We loved everything, we used at the hotel.

    The bed was very comfortable, the view to oversee the sea, bridge and city is amazing, the staff very helpful throughout, nice room cleaned daily, lovely rooftop restaurant, and very good breakfast. There are other facilities available like Gym, Swimming Pool, Hamam etc which we haven’t used. Good access to Beşiktaş ferry port transport, restaurants, bars and shopping.

    Don't upgrade to sea view

    There was some confusion with my reservation initially.... I'm still unsure whether I have overpaid or not. I'd opted to upgrade to seaview. On checking in this was not found. I didn't wish to pay 70 eu more so I said I'll just have city view. I got to my room and unpcked. Then I get a call saying my upgrade had been found and I could now have self view. They took me to this room and it was not good at all. 7th floor ( my previous one was 14) facing a highway with noise. There were glimpses of the sea. It was nothing like those shown on website photos. I got the to take me back to my city view room in the end. I was in the hotel recovering from surgery not fit to go outside. I enquired about food delivery. They said outside delivery people were not allowed on the premises, I could only use their room service which was of course expensive. The food was good but I didn't appreciate the added 50tl service fee subjected to each order. Bellboy staff were very courteous and helpful. Overall nice hotel, just don't bother upgrading to sea view.

    This view from my room ended up being a city view and it was lovely

    The Furniture is old and had scratches all over the place. The wall paper is out of the wall in places near the bathrooms. The hotel is due for furniture replacement in my view. The room is small to where I came from. The breakfast cost is high almost $26 dollar.

    Nice property in a main road. It has the travel let basic needs of a hotel in my view. The rooms has all the device you need and it a practical hotel. The hotel lobby is nice and the rooms are equipped with a very good bathroom.

    The rooms are small unfortunately. At least, I would have expected bigger rooms for the money paid. Location is actually perfect but the only downside is that the hotel is located on the busiest street, therefor you need to wait at least 10 to 15 minutes for a cab.

    The location is good, walking distance to Zorlu centre (Mall) and Zincirlikuyu (station).

    Everything was good at the hotel, except they didnt provide the dental kit. The construction in front did spoil the view a little, but the horizon view was amazing.

    I love the location, a few minutes down the roar there is a crowded and happening street with foods and bars. Loved it. I also loved the view. It was perfect.

    Everything was in a balance with the price

    While booking I chose breakfast included option but it didn't happen ! I am not sure maybe I made a mistake (because sometimes I make this kind of mistake ). I the process of solving my breakfast problem, behavior of the young guy (who was the first responsible of breakfast) could be more politely. But the behavior of shift supervisor was professional and I forgot about the behavior of previous guy. Final solution of my breakfast problem should be solved by Mr. Mert (the guy who checked me in). He was extremely professional and I was very satisfied by his attention to the matter. I think he is very overqualified for standing in reception.
