This hotel could be great... but it is pretty average. The rooms were fine, the upstairs bar is weird and very very dark with sparse furnishings. And the view is nowhere near as good as the pictures on the hotel website make it look! The lobby is fine and the breakfast was good - I think it is very much... More

The good: On the plus side, the pool and gym are nice and the steam room and sauna are decent too. The bad: The food is pathetically bad yet expensive. The ugly: The rooms are all smokey and seem more so after the day, so I figure the cleaners smoke as they go. They are also dark and kinda old-looking... More

Stayed here on a business trip. The hotel is at best 3 stars, its old and torn, the staff has full Turkish mentality, in the rooms you can feel the smoke from other rooms and walls are paper-thin if your neighbor is watching TV, you won't have a good night rest...

Despite all the "mixed feelings" and similar reviews, which I trust are honest, I liked the place although had a very short stay there, but I think that short stays are the best testers for hotels. I understand that the building is not a new one, but it serves its purposes; the room I was given was pretty (the Bosphorus... More

I stayed there for 3 nights last week. well... I have mixed feelings about this hotel, the building seems to be a bit old and although there have been some renovations, still it doesn't look as it should for a 5 star hotel e.g. bad finishing in bathroom etc. on the other hand, the amenities in the room are quite...

I have stayed in this hotel 4 times and I have notice the standard of the rooms have dropped. With the incresing building and traffic what used to take 25-30 minutes to and from the airport, on a Sunday it took me 1hr.25mins having said that it was only 45 minutes on a Tuesday midday to get to the airport....

A very good hotel, helpful but not very friendly staff. The condition of the bathrooms does not correspond to the value of the rooms. Breakfast is good but could add some more variety. My room was at the 8th floor, a corner one, and although smaller, had a very nice view. Very poor Internet access!!!

the hotel features very spacious rooms and is located ideally for business, less for tourism. Breakfast buffet is plenty with hot and cold items. There is a sky bar on the 21st floor with stunning views over Istanbul skyline. Hotel pricing is reasonable for a big city.

To summarize the stay: - Room - quite generous from space, two single beds, comfortable, located on the 18th floor, but very annoying A/C system. The other colleagues having rooms in lower levels, had an issue with the street noise - Bathroom - not the cleanest, towels are grey and black which generate an automatic distrust, I appreciate white towels...
