Very comfortable stay with view of the Bosphorous bridge
Pros:

Very comfortable bed. Clean rooms

Cons:

The room wasn’t ready on time. We were asked to wait and then it still wasn’t ready after another 45 minutes. Also, drinks in the hotel bar were significantly overpriced.

Bad experience
Pros:

My experience at this hotel was very disappointing.

The hotel does not match the photos advertised on Booking.com. The images create an impression of a much higher standard than what is actually provided. In addition, there was a strong sewage smell in both the hotel and the room, which made the stay very uncomfortable.

I expected a clean and pleasant environment, but unfortunately the condition of the property did not meet reasonable expectations. The unpleasant odor significantly affected the overall experience.

To make matters worse, when I was leaving the hotel, I was carrying three large suitcases and was clearly struggling to open the entrance door. Several employees saw me but did not offer any assistance. This lack of basic customer service and hospitality was disappointing and left a very poor impression.

Based on my experience, I would not recommend this hotel.

good hotel step away from local amentities
Pros:

for two night as stop over in istanbul to vancouver we stay at hotel .
we book sea view room but we get bosphorus view suite.
the suite in large with view to busphorus. the breakast and pool area
are good .
due to construction in front of hotel try to have room in 11th floor and
upper . the hotel is not good for walk around area or use of public
transportation as there is multiple intersections and many steps .
