    personalized omelet
    malfunctioning air conditioning

    A warm welcome amidst the chaos

    The staff greeted us like family, instantly making us feel at home. Each morning, a personalized omelet lifted our spirits.

    However, the air conditioning malfunctioned, leaving our room uncomfortably cold throughout our stay. It felt neglected in the maintenance department.

    charming decor
    comfortable lounges
    accessible shuttle service
    luggage assistance
    senior support

    I enjoyed the charming decor and comfortable lounges, which were easily accessible. The complimentary shuttle service to Taksim Square made it very convenient for me to explore the area without any hassle.

    More assistance with luggage for seniors would help.

    decent breakfast
    nice room size
    helpful staff
    unwelcoming staff

    Not the best experience

    Location is a bit off, around 20-25 mins walk to Taksim, which is no fun when it's hot! The room was okay, but had some weird bugs and the bathroom was kinda gross with moisture everywhere. Staff could be more welcoming and I didn't have soap for days. Breakfast was decent, but the dining area felt cramped.

    great breakfast
    comfy rooms
    unwelcoming staff
    poor bathroom amenities

    We enjoyed great meals and soothing live music at cafes nearby. The shuttle service to Taksim was super handy, making it easy to explore. Rooms were comfy and well-kept. Breakfast had a variety of options, which was nice to start our busy days.

    One downside was that the staff weren't very welcoming, and I had to repeatedly ask for soap in the bathroom, which was frustrating.

    amazing staff
    authentic breakfast

    For those who appreciate great service

    The staff was amazing, always went the extra mile to help. One time I had a problem with the AC and they fixed it within minutes, like it was no big deal. Also, the breakfast had this authentic local flavor, felt like tasting the real deal.

    It wasn’t exactly cheap but still acceptable.

    cozy atmosphere
    garden area
    slow elevator

    I loved relaxing in the spa when I had a chance to enjoy a Turkish bath and a back massage. The hotel offered a nice cozy atmosphere and the garden area was perfect for unwinding. The only downside was that the elevator was a bit slow, but it didn’t ruin my overall good time! 😊

    varied breakfast
    spotless housekeeping
    isolated location

    I had a good time during my stay! The breakfast had a wide variety of options, and housekeeping was on point, keeping everything spotless each day. However, the location felt a bit isolated at times, making it a challenge to explore.

    challenging location
    poor area safety

    The hotel's unique design, highlighted by its mirrored bathrooms, was intriguing. I appreciated the complimentary shuttle service to Taksim for easy access, despite the challenging location in a less appealing area.

    modern design
    professional services
    diverse breakfast options
    unstable wi-fi
    unsafe location

    The hotel features a modern design and offers professional services suited for business travelers. The conference center was well-equipped, and the staff efficiently assisted in setting up my presentation equipment. Breakfast options were diverse, including fresh pastries and local delicacies, providing a delightful start to my day. The location was convenient, with easy access to Taksim Square and public transport.

    The Wi-Fi connection was unstable at times and the surrounding area felt less safe at night.
