Everything mentioned above, including breakfast and all the hotel's amenities. Of course, the central location with all the main attractions on the European side of Istanbul is also a plus.
rooms were cosy and the hotel was very clean and tidy. all the staff were friendly especially samet :)) really pleased with our stay and the service we received .
Very nice hotel in Istanbul, close to many restaurants and walkable to various locations. Buffet breakfast was good and the room was very spacious. 9/10 stay would recommend!
Turkish bath was an amazing experience, the ladies providing service are amazing and very professional. My husband and I enjoyed our massage. Thank you!
Stuff are very polite and caring . Clean rooms .close to all you need .

Very polite staff. Hotel is in great location just overall outside view is opposite construction site and car park which is not very pleasing.
Tasty and a lot to choose from breakfast.
Downstairs spa area jacuzzi was cold.. steam room not working, juice bar not working, gym was shocking small one machine and looked like ordered from alibaba😂 got room on 6th floor by the lift, horrible. So noisy that felt like you sleep in the corridor no sound proof at all. Loud air-conditioning as well.. good value for money but did not feel like 4 star hotel at all
This was the worst value hotel I have ever stayed at. Although the air conditioning was on, it didn’t work properly, probably due to a lack of coolant. It just emitted a smell without cooling the room. Room was so dark.
The outdoor pool was under construction, so we couldn’t use it on the first day. We used the indoor pool for one day, and my child developed an eye infection. The manager couldn’t remember when the water was last changed and was not very responsive. The staff service was also poor. Only one older staff member provided good service, while the rest were rude and unhelpful.
Pros: The location is good.
I don’t recommend this hotel.
Staffs were rude. Housekeeping they don’t provide water. I literally have to beg for water. Rooms were so small you can’t even walk. Bed is so small. No Iron in the room. No Shampoo or Conditioner in the bathroom. For luggage no proper staff. We had 5 luggages. Need to bring half of them by ourselves to the room.
This is not a 4* hotel. I’d give it a 1.
Breakfast buffet is no buffet. There’s hardly anything there. We’d have to go out to purchase breakfast even though we paid for room with breakfast.
Service was absolutely horrendous. We asked for a rollaway bed but they refused and said there were none and asked me to pay 20 euros for an extra bed - not to mention the tiniest room in which an extra bed would be mean no walking space at all. I then called the manager myself who somehow managed to get the so called non existing rollaway bed into to my room. Note on hotels.com description, it’s mentioned you get free rollaway beds but all
They want us to make money for everything.
Wouldn’t recommend this hotel at all!

The only thing I like about the hotel is the location, very close to the Sirkeci Marmaray station. Other than that it was a total disappointment and terrible value for money. In terms of cleanliness I once found a cockroach in my room, I once came to the room and found my pillow with no pillow case and I once found a hair in the cheese plate in the breakfast buffet.
Speaking of the breakfast buffet, it was the most disappointing. I almost went out to get breakfast elsewhere every day of my stay because there is no variety in the buffet and nothing is inviting! The staff are not the warm kind, they might get you what you need but again they might just night.
The room is not small but not spacious, however it’s the dimmest hotel room I’ve ever been to, to the extent that I almost went to buy a lamp to put in the room to brighten it up a little bit.
I wouldn’t stay there again and wouldn’t recommend it.
Alles war super bis auf die letzte Nacht . Es laut . Stromausfall und Stromregenatoren würden eingeschaltet , alles neben mein Fenster. Ansonsten ist das Hotel super 👍.
Fin beliggenhed og lækkert med poolområde på taget.

Aamiainen pohjoismaalaiseen makuun oli säälittävä😒 Hotellin henkilökunnan pitäiai käydä ottamassa mallia vaikka belekin tai alanyan hotellien aamupalatarjonnasta. Meidän yksi tärkein kriteeri hotellille oli parveke ja sen takia hylkäsimme monta hyvää vaihtoehtoa, tämän hotellin kuvissa oli parveke missä tulit ja pöytä. Kin pääsimme hotelliin pettymys olis suuri kun 'parveke' oli sellainen mihin ei olisi tuolia edes mahtunut ja se oli niin pelottava huonoine kaiteineen ettei sinne ollut asiaa ja vastapäätä olevan rakennuksen rakennustyöt ja rakennusmiesten norkoilu parvekkeen edessä ei sekään ollut kiva.. Kuntosali tarvitsisi pikaista päivitystä, sielä 2 puoliksi rikkinäistä kuntopyörää mistä ei voinut säätää vastusta, ne oli jämähtänyt erittäin koville vastuksille ettei voinut käyttää ja juoksumatto ilmeisen käytetty tms koska oli niin epävakaa juosta että piti pitää reunoista kiinni ettei kaatuisi. Span pyyhkeet olivat todella kuluneet joten ne kaipaisi myös uudistamisen.. Kattoterassilta hyvät näköalat merelle, pieni uima allas missä lokit kävi ahkerasti kylpemässä..paljon oli huonoa sanottavaa tästä ja pettymys suuri. Jos jotain positiivista niin respan 2 nuorempaa kaveria olivat auttavaisia, muut tylyjä. Hotellin sijainti suht hyvä. En menisi missään tapauksessa tänne uudelleen, enkä koko Istanbuliin
Absolut bästa hotellet jag har bott pa, där jag har känt mig verkligen välkomnad och även bra bemött
av personalen.
Natt personalen som har arbetat har varit väldigt snälla, jag har aldrig sanningen känt sahär men riktigt bra gäng och väl bra service har jag fätt.
Natt personalen som arbetade pa receptionen är
Samet och äldre mannen.
Hotellet skick i rummet för tre personer har inte varit det basta men att bara ta sig till hotellet och bli bemött av sa bra och positiv service har varit väldigt bra för mig som har gjort att jag har känt mig hemma.
Nägot jag verkligen kommer att boka hit nästa gảng för enbart nattpersonalen som jobbade!
Arriver à l’hôtel déjà prêt payer on mer dit plus de chambre de disponible cela commence déjà mal a force d’insister on me done une chambre de 7m2 oui 7
Le petit dej A EVITER c’est le reste de la vieille JAMAIS VU CELA,
Chambre très sale, sdb horrible avec cheveux partout
Hotel que je déconseille fortement
Mon premier hôtel désagréable à istanbul malgré que je viens 6 a 8 fois par an
