Excellent hotel, well situated in quietish side street. Friendly pleasant staff. Our room was long and narrow with a double and single bed. Well appointed adequate bathroom. Cafe on ground floor serving light meals and drinks, with a host of restaurants within walking distance. Nice open air pool on top floor with great view. Istanbul has the biggest traffic jams...

Pro: Hotel is set in excellent location, very near the Taksim Square. Rooms and facilities look nice, above standard for hotel of that type in Turkey. Our favorite parts were excellent indoor and outdoor pool. A word of warning: please note that you have to wear swimming cap for the indoor pool. If you don't have one - you have... More

A good sized room. clean and rather nice. The breakfast buffet was good, however, the dining upstairs was not adequate for vegetarian diets. But the location was great, lots of shopping and restaurants near by. Overall a great location and a great experience.

Located in an interesting part of town with easy access to many of the city's sights. My room was quiet enough though small and the air conditioning worked, but the bed was not very comfortable. The tiny elevators are inadequate to cope with the number of guests and this is a problem if you are on a high floor. Buffet... More

Clean bathroom, good cleaning services, excellent breakfast, internet superfast and free wifi. Staff at the front desk (black uniforms) really helpful. Some weird pool... More
