Categories

Cleanliness
7
Mixed reports: several guests praised cleanliness, but multiple reviews describe dirty/filthy rooms, mold in the shower, blocked toilets, leaking faucets and general wear; overall below the hotel average.
Service
9.8
Generally highly praised: many comments about polite, helpful and exceptional staff (check-in and throughout stay). A few isolated notes about indifferent rooftop staff/bouncer or staff unaware of issues, but overall service is a strong point.
Location
10
Consistently noted as excellent: many guests cite great location near stores/subway and suitability for events (marathon, concerts); location is a clear strength.
Room Quality
7.5
Mixed: some guests enjoyed spacious, comfortable rooms while others reported beaten-up furniture, squeaky beds, peeling wallpaper, noisy rooms (elevator noise), and shower/toilet problems; room condition is inconsistent.
Amenities
8.6
Good selection: rooftop, bar/restaurant, parking garage are positives. Some gaps noted (no microwave in rooms, coffee station/lighting/design issues, elevator performance) but amenities are generally strong.
Value for Money
6.5
Perceived as weak by several guests: explicit 'poor value' comments, overpriced bar/restaurant and parking fees, and at least one serious billing/refund issue reduced perceived value.
Food and Beverage
8.8
Generally positive: bar and restaurant and rooftop dining praised for quality and ambiance, though a number of guests called prices high.
Overall Experience
8.2
Overall mixed-to-positive: many guests would return and cite location, service and rooftop as highlights, but recurring cleanliness, room condition, noise and value issues tempered some stays.

A poor value
Pros:

The bed was comfortable.

Cons:

The room was dirty. The light switches mostly didn't work. The bathroom faucet leaked all over the counter. The furniture was very beat up. The feel of the room was college dorm room.

Pros:

Temizlik personel konumu

Cons:

The room I stayed in on the 16th floor was extremely noisy. There was an incredibly disturbing noise, possibly coming from the elevator system. The noise would start around 6:30–7:00 AM, making it almost impossible for me to sleep properly or get any rest throughout my stay. This significantly affected my overall experience.

In addition, an extra USD 949.29 was incorrectly charged to my credit card. The hotel acknowledged the mistake, but despite my repeated reminders, the refund has still not been processed. This has been very disappointing.

On a positive note, the hotel staff were extremely polite, friendly, and helpful. The cleanliness was very good, and the location was excellent.

Unfortunately, the excessive noise and the unresolved refund issue significantly affected my stay, leaving me dissatisfied with the overall experience.
