Cons:

The bathroom door - uninspired idea to make it from glass and in the middle of the bedroom.

Pros:

Posizione strategica vicina ai principali punti di attrazione (circa 20-30 minuti a piedi). La suite king si è rivelata molto elegante e spaziosa

Cons:

Il rumore notturno proveniente da un terrazzo adiacente alla suite, credo il motore del compressore del climatizzatore

Pros:

The location is great.

Cons:

The rooms were a little dirty and the hotel definitely needs renovation. There wasnt too much choince of food at breakfast and the missing items were not replenished / replenished after a long time. I've been to Holiday Inn in different countries and really enjoyed the quality, but just not the one in Istambul.

Overall, the room did not meet basic cleanliness and maintenance standards.
Pros:

Good location. Good staff

Cons:

The room was very dirty. I specifically requested a room with a bathtub and a nice view. While I did receive a room with a bathtub, it was dirty and had mud inside it. The view from the room was very disappointing and far from what I expected.
Additionally, the bathroom door was broken and could not be closed, which made the stay uncomfortable and lacked privacy.
