Overall a great stay, I recommend this hotel.
Pros:

The location of this hotel is excellent, with a few major tourist spots very close by. The breakfast served was very elaborate.

Cons:

The room and the bathroom were very basic. We had only a one night stay, so it was fine, but the setup does not give you a feeling of luxury. Seemed a little pricey for the facilities.

Fabulous location to view iconic Istanbul
Pros:

Location is exceptional especially for a first time visitor. Hotel staff went out of their way to meet all our needs. Breakfast excellent in the superb rooftop room and the bonus of being able to go there 24/7 to enjoy the spectacular view, free tea or coffee and just spend time enjoying Istanbul.

Cons:

The room was a little smaller than I expected but probably was just European sized rather than the USA room sizes I am more used to. It was however very comfortable.

Pros:

Sin duda la ubicación céntrica, las vistas desde la terraza del desayuno, a la que puedes subir todo el día, son razón suficiente para ir.
El desayuno, variado y muy bueni.
La amabilidad del personal, en todo momento pendientes y ayudando.

Cons:

Las habitaciones un poco pequeñas, el baño pequeño
La cama un poco estrecha..
Pese a hacer frio la habitación estaba demasiado calurosa.

Pros:

The personnel was absolutely amazing! There’s one man (unfortunately I didn’t get the name) from 7am to 3pm that was absolutely the best. Always helpful!
