Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was phenomenal! The room I had with a partial sea view was exceptional, offering a lovely blend of the garden view and the stunning Bosphorus. The room was spacious with a huge king-size bed and a cozy lounge area, making it a perfect retreat. The service was top-notch, especially the attentive housekeeping by Adem and the delightful staff in the dining areas. The location was convenient for exploring Taksim Square and the tram station, although a bit distant from the old town. Dining was enjoyable, although the options were somewhat repetitive. Overall, a fabulous experience with a few minor drawbacks.
I was amazed by the beautiful rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows offering a perfect view of the Bosphorus, ideal for 2 adults and two kids aged 3 and 5. The service was fantastic with very attentive staff, although toiletries needed to be requested. The location is superb for reaching the old town and other areas but requires transportation due to the steep hill. The dining options, though tasty, lacked variety. Overall, a great stay with a few minor hitches.
The hotel offers absolutely beautiful and sparkling clean rooms with classic yet elegant oriental designed bathrooms and a partial garden view of the Bosphorus. While the view is a definite plus, the lack of credit facilities could be inconvenient.
Staying at this hotel was a real treat! The rooms were absolutely beautiful, sparkling clean, and the classic oriental design in the bathrooms was really elegant. Plus, the view of Bosphorus from my room was simply gorgeous. On the downside, the location on a hill made it a bit less convenient for walking around, but with taxis or Uber, it's easy to get around. The dining options, while good, didn't offer much variety, which could get a bit dull. However, the service was top-notch with friendly and helpful staff and excellent facilities like the indoor and outdoor pools and sauna.
The hotel offers a fantastic view of the Bosphorus from the upper floors, making it a great choice for 2 adults and two kids aged 3 and 5. The attentive service provided by Serkan at the Executive Club was exceptional, although the location is central but a bit uncomfortable to reach due to a steep hill. The dining experience offered a superb buffet with a huge variety of tasty dishes, while the overall calm location was between ritz and other hotels' customers, making it a bit challenging for taxis and walking.
The hotel offers really comfortable rooms with included club lounge access for a week and a willingness to cater to special requests. The service is top-notch with professional and friendly staff. The location is superb, near the old center and newly developed port. However, the dining experience could have more variety in options.
The hotel rooms were very clean, with standard amenities like tea and coffee making facilities and international wall plugs. The service was exceptionally helpful and friendly, going out of their way to accommodate requests. The location was convenient for Dolmabahce Palace and good restaurants, but a bit isolated on a hill requiring transport for most attractions. The dining options were somewhat pricey for the selection offered. Overall, a comfortable stay with top-notch service.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms need renovation and are out of his way, but the suite was spacious and comfortable. The service was top-notch, with everyone from the staff to the spa team being extremely polite and helpful. The location, while a bit off the main area, is beautiful with classic decor. The dining experience was as expected, and the facilities were good overall.
