Pros:

Приятный отель, но уже достаточно старый. Внутри запах старых ковров и мебели, стены и обстановка в комнате совсем не вдохновляет.

Cons:

В ресторане ждали очень долго еду, и качество было не самое лучшее, персонал вежливый, но достаточно медлительный и забывает о просьбах. Плед ждала весь вечер и напоминала пару раз, так и не принесли. В итоге покусали комары:(

A nostalgic stay
Pros:

The view was exceptional. Morning breakfast on the Bosphorous was the highlight of the trip. Rooms are spacious and clean. Most of the staff are friendly and welcoming. Being a renovated castle, staying there takes you back centuries.

Cons:

I would have given a 10 rating except for a few mistakes (un-intentional). In one instance our luggage was missed and in another we found an insect in the salad (could have dropped there) while bringing the food. In both cases the staff reacted appropriately. When busy, service could be slow.

Four Seasons again
Pros:

Four Seasons is always a consistent experience, this hotel was no different.

We had a delightful stay here, albeit very short.

Our room was large and comfortable, perhaps a little dated, but clean tidy and well maintained.

The team were extremely friendly, warm and welcoming.

We managed to squeeze in a visit to their bar and Aqua restaurants both were very good and we would recommend.

First experience :)
Pros:

First of all, I would like to mention that my expectations were higher, but the reality did not fully match them.

However, the hotel was clean, the rooms were cleaned daily, and the staff were friendly. We especially liked the restaurants and the breakfast.

We stayed at the hotel for 3 days, and overall it was good. However, I think the pillows should be changed — they were too soft for comfortable sleep.

I would definitely recommend choosing a sea-view room; otherwise, it is not really worth the price.

Additionally, having to book the Turkish bath in advance does not create a very good experience.

Thank you.
