Pros:

The Good: The staff are warm and welcoming, and the location is reasonably good: Nişantaşı, with its shops and restaurants, is about a 15-minute walk away; Dolmabahçe Palace is about a 10-minute downhill walk; and Taksim Square is about 15 minutes away, partly uphill.

The hotel itself is fantastic, with a huge lobby, several luxury boutiques, and one of the best views of the Bosphorus – especially from its excellent rooftop bar, 16 Roof (featured on the photo; reservations strongly recommended). My corner suite was also outstanding: truly colossal in size, with a huge dining table, plenty of sofas and armchairs for relaxing, watching TV, or enjoying a glass of wine, plus a large terrace with a table and chairs and direct access to the outdoor pool. The suite included two bedrooms, kitchen, two enormous bathrooms with Grohe fixtures, and even a washer. The gym and spa are equally impressive, featuring large indoor and outdoor pools and multiple jacuzzis. An Executive Lounge is also available on the 17th floor.

The Bad: Nothing really to complain about without getting too nitpicky.

The Mixed: Breakfast options in the Executive Lounge are somewhat limited by Türkiye standards, but adequate.

Summary: Overall, this is an excellent 5-star hotel in a good Istanbul location. The hotel is luxurious, comfortable, and offers all the amenities you could want - while also being highly price-competitive.

Pros:

Room was dirty, breakfast is not good at all although looks like it would be. Very inconvenient location - if you wanted to walk or take the metro. Nothing special, not sure how it’s a 5 star hotel.

Great location with a buzzing local area for food & drink that is safe and welcoming. Take good footwear to make the most of getting around, use the T1 to get into the old town or Uber. Would thoroughly recommend.

Pros:

The hotel was extremely crowded, maybe because there was a wedding party at the same time. The music at night was so extremely loud at night that the walls and windows were shaking. The pool was very crowded.

Pros:

Amazing hotel with great service. Only recommendation would be for non-smoking rooms - The smell of cigarettes resides in the air conditioning system, which can be unpleasant. Otherwise, everything else is excellent.
