Ok for pengene!
Pros:

Hotellet ligger sentralt rett ved taksim, mange butikker, kafeer og restauranter i et kort avstand.
Frokosten var helt ok, men kunne vært litt bedre for en fire stjerner hotel.
Snill personale.

Cons:

Besøkende må skaffe drikke vann til seg selv! Veldig negativt at de gir kun en halv liter flaske vann per rom uansett antall personer. Og den er ikke bra.
