Pros:

No think

Cons:

This was by far one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

My reservation was confirmed through Booking, and my check-in date was clearly set for the 24th. Despite that, the hotel called me at 1:00 AM and then sent me random WhatsApp messages threatening to cancel my reservation if I didn’t reply within 30 minutes. This is completely unprofessional. If the hotel requires reservation confirmation, it should be done during normal business hours or at least a day before arrival—not in the middle of the night.

To make things worse, they called me six times within a few minutes. When I answered and tried to explain the situation, the staff member spoke loudly and kept saying, “This is the hotel’s policy.” If this is really their policy, then it is one of the worst customer service policies I have ever experienced.

Later, the hotel manager contacted me, apologized, and asked for my expected arrival time. I gave them the exact time, but no one followed up afterward. Because of the poor communication and complete lack of professionalism, I ended up booking another hotel after arriving in Jeddah.

The most shocking part was that they called me again at 2:00 AM two days after my scheduled arrival, even though I had already checked into another hotel. This clearly shows how disorganized their reservation management is.

Overall, the communication was extremely unprofessional, the WhatsApp messages were inappropriate and threatening, the repeated late-night calls were unacceptable, and the reservation management was a complete mess. This was an incredibly frustrating experience, and I will never book this hotel again.

Pros:

Das Zimmer war sauber und ganz süß eingerichtet. Der Balkon war ein Traum, riesig und mit aussicht auf den Galataturm. Man kommt vom Hotel aus sehr schnell ins Zentrum der Stadt, öffentliche Verkehrsmittel sind alle in wenigen Minuten zu erreichen und auch ein Wunderschöner Park ist direkt um die Ecke. Die Mitarbeiter waren alle super freundlich und hilfsbereit. Am Tag unserer Abreise wurden uns sogar von dem Rezeptionisten Belegte Toastbrots und etwas Obst für die weiterreise eingepackt, das hab ich so noch in keinem Hotel erlebt das ist eine Art von Gastfreundlichkeit die es nur noch selten gibt. Meine erfahrung war mehr als Positiv ich kann dieses Hotel nur weiterempfehlen.

An outstanding stay that made my trip to Istanbul truly enjoyable and memorable.
Pros:

كانت إقامتي في هذا الفندق رائعة بكل المقاييس. أكثر ما أعجبني هو حسن تعامل موظفي الاستقبال، وبالأخص فرقان، يامور، سامت، ومراد. كانوا في غاية اللطف والترحيب والاحترافية، ودائمًا يستقبلوننا بابتسامة ووجه بشوش، مما جعلنا نشعر بالراحة منذ اللحظة الأولى. كما استقبلونا أمام الفندق عند وصولنا وساعدونا في إنزال الأمتعة من السيارة، وكان ذلك لفتة جميلة تعكس اهتمامهم بالضيوف. بالإضافة إلى ذلك، قاموا بترقية إحدى غرفنا من غرفة مزدوجة إلى غرفة ثلاثية بنفس سعر الغرفة المزدوجة، وهي بادرة كريمة نقدرها كثيرًا.

الفطور كان ممتازًا ومتنوعًا، وماكينة القهوة كانت متوفرة طوال اليوم، مع تشكيلة لذيذة من مختلف أنواع القهوة. كذلك كانوا يزودوننا بمياه إضافية كلما احتجنا إليها بكل لطف.

موقع الفندق ممتاز، والغرف هادئة جدًا ولا يوجد بها أي إزعاج، مما وفر لنا إقامة مريحة. كما أن عاملات النظافة كنّ في غاية اللطف، دائمات الابتسامة، ويقمن بعملهن بإتقان واهتمام.

أنصح كل من يزور إسطنبول بالإقامة في هذا الفندق. ستشعر فيه بكرم الضيافة والاهتمام الحقيقي بالضيوف، وكأنك في منزلك. تجربة تستحق التكرار بكل تأكيد

I had an amazing stay at this hotel. What impressed me the most was the outstanding hospitality of the reception staff, especially Furkan, Yağmur, Samet, and Murat. They were incredibly welcoming, professional, kind, and always greeted us with a warm smile, making us feel comfortable from the very first moment. They welcomed us outside the hotel upon our arrival and helped us unload our luggage from the car, which gave us a wonderful first impression. They also kindly upgraded one of our rooms from a double room to a triple room while charging us the same price as the double room, which was a very generous gesture that we truly appreciated.

The breakfast was excellent, with a wide variety of delicious options. The coffee machine was available throughout the day, offering a great selection of tasty coffee drinks. They also provided us with extra bottled water whenever we needed it, always with kindness.
