My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was superb, offering easy access to the metro and boasting a lovely rooftop terrace with an incredible view of Istanbul. However, the rooms were a bit disappointing, especially with the ongoing construction nearby, but the breakfast at the balcony restaurant made up for it with a wide selection of delicious items.

The location was very convenient, just a stone's throw away from the metro station, making it easy to explore Istanbul. The proximity to shops, the metro, and attractions like the Grand Bazaar added to the overall experience.

The dining experience was varied but lacked quality and taste. While there was a wide variety, the overall quality was not up to par. However, the fresh salads were a refreshing option.

The hotel rooms were very disappointing with various issues like unfinished decor, loose fittings, and non-functional appliances, but it was clean. The location was excellent for shopping centers, although the surroundings were not as pretty as in pictures. The service was a mix of unhelpful gestures and friendly assistance, especially at the help desk. The dining experience lacked variety and quality, while the facilities were quite limited.

The hotel offers a clean and comfortable stay, with a great location close to shopping centers. The room was hot even with the balcony door open, but overall, the accommodation was satisfactory. However, the absence of a balcony created a cramped feel, especially with five people. The pool view was a nice touch.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms, while comfortable, were unfortunately located on the first floor, at the backside of the hotel, leading to a total lack of WiFi coverage. The service, on the other hand, displayed a mix of experiences: some staff members were friendly, like Mr Bilal and his team at the Concierge service, while others were unhelpful, with issues like cleanliness and maintenance in the rooms. The location was convenient with easy access to various transport options and key attractions. The dining experience offered satisfactory food with a beautiful view, but lacked variety. The facilities were decent, with notable areas for improvement.
