Enjoyed the location and the hotel staff were very helpful.
Pros:

Location was excellent

Cons:

The restaurant and breakfast was not worth it. Breakfast was very ordinary and the meal we had in the restaurant was atrocious.

Great location, fabulous room, enjoyable stay.
Pros:

Room was stylish,spacious,extremely comfortable bed,mattress, pillows. Spotless. Will return again.

Cons:

Though I booked room with a balcony, staff said they will sort this out but next day or the day after they didn’t even mention. Just because I am not a smoker doesn’t mean I don’t need a balcony 😊

Buon hotel , ma non se ti serve un taxi
Pros:

La struttura e’ pulita e Modena , situata in una bella via ne centro del quartiere Galata.
Le principali attrazioni sono per lo più raggiungile a piedi . La suite aveva un vista splendida

Cons:

Una sera siamo andati a cena a Swiss hotel .
L’addetto alla reception ha chiamato per noi un taxi giallo che ci ha portati a destinazione . Abbiamo chiesto se la mattina dopo ( dovevamo imbarcarci per una crociera ) avrebbe potuto fare lo stesso ; ci ha detto di sì e che non era necessario prenotato .
Il giorno dopo però un altro addetto al reception ci ha detto che non era possibile per loro chiamare taxi , ma solo un servizio di noleggio con conducente di loro conoscenza ( che prendeva per il breve tratto circa 40 euro , contro i 15 del taxi ) .
Abbiamo acconsentito ( malvolentieri) , ma non ha neanche saputo dirci a che ora sarebbe arrivata l’auto .
Io mi sono spazientita e ho fatto presente che la sera prima era stato chiamato un taxi .
Il signore incredibilmente mi ha risposto che non era vero , non avevo mai preso nessun taxi e di andare ( a piedi - con due valige pesantissime ) alla più vicina fermata e prenderne uno lì .
Alla fine sono uscita e ho chiamato da solo un taxi di passaggi con un fischio .
Un servizio inqualificabile .

The Best!
Pros:

Amazing stay, amazing location and most importantly amazing team running this property.
The property location is close and within walkable distance to major landmarks in the city. Dont miss the restaurant here as well.
Most importantly, the team here especially Thunahan at the reception was so helpful and accommodating. He honestly went the extra mile and above and beyond to accommodate us. Teşekkürler Tunahan. You are the best!
