Pros:

This was my second stay at this hotel, and once again I was very satisfied. The rooms are spacious, clean, comfortable, and well equipped. Breakfast is excellent and very rich, and the views from the higher floors are especially nice.

The location is convenient, with Istanbul’s main attractions easily reachable by a short taxi ride, and Taksim Square is a great option for an evening walk.

I would gladly stay here again.

Cons:

The prices at the hotel bar are a little on the high side compared with what you might expect.

Sehr schönes Hotel mit gepflegten Zimmern.
Pros:

Hotel mit sehr schöner Aussicht aus den oberen Etage. Die großen Fenster liefern ein perfektes Panorama. Die Eck-Suite bot darüber hinaus viel Platz und Komfort. Der Zugang zur Lounge (ebenfalls mit Panorama-Aussicht) mit Getränken und Snacks ist eine angenehme Zusatzleistung. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich. Reinigung und Zimmerservice sind sehr gut. Es gibt einen gut ausgestatteten Fitnessraum mit modernen Geräten. Das Essen im Restaurant auf dem Dach (mit Panaromablick) war sehr hochwertig, aber auch ausgesprochen hochpreisig.

Overall very good hotel ! Clean ! Beautiful suite & v good breakfast. Staff at the breakfast area w
Pros:

The breakfast buffet , the room , the washroom. The over all experience of the hotel

Cons:

I felt the reservation staff were a bit cold. Not because they didn’t ah red to reduce the extra bed charge I had requested for.. and I first got a message saying bed request approved. And later almost a day later hit a mail saying it will be charged . I had already left for my journey and did not read the mail . In explaining the staff did not empathize nor add any supporting words .. just that I would have to pay

This will become my favorite hotel in Istanbul, and I thank the receptionist, Amiry, she was very friendly and processed
Pros:

All services are available and excellent. A beautiful hotel close to all amenities.

Cons:

Room service prices are a bit high, and when you request water, they give you one or two bottles; you have to pay for the rest. Türkiye is the source of the water, so guests shouldn't be thirsty at all.

اقامة جميلة لكن ماراح اكررها بسبب موقع الفندق
Pros:

الفندق راقي وهادي ونسبة الأمان عالية جداً ( ضيعت كرت باب غرفتي ماعطاني بديل الا لما سالني بعض اسئلة الأمان )
السرير جدا مريح والتكييف ممتاز
الفطور يعتير جيد والمطعم واسع

Cons:

موقع الفندق ماجنبك شي لازم تاكسي لاتعتمدون على الباصات ركبت باص على وصف جوجل ماب طلع طريقه غير عن الفندق
الفطور يحتاج تنويع
للاسف الان يبنون امام الفندق غطوا على الاطلالة
