Lovely location, just a hop from everything. The room sparkled clean, and there was a fun little cleaning sign system I found out about only after asking. A quirky touch, but they could’ve mentioned it sooner!
The service was a bit like a surprise party—unexpected! And changing sheets while we were there? Gourmet drama, darling!

The location near Taksim Square made exploring the city a breeze. Spacious rooms felt clean and comfortable, with big beds perfect for relaxation. The fitness center and spa offered great amenities, adding to my enjoyable stay. However, I faced issues with staff respect for privacy. They opened my room without permission and even moved my luggage. When I complained, management seemed indifferent. It was frustrating and diminished the experience. Despite these setbacks, the overall atmosphere remained pleasant, and the daily housekeeping was appreciated. Wi-Fi worked well most of the time, which was crucial for staying connected. Breakfast needed more variety, as some items were often missing. Overall, the positives were strong but marred by the service incident.

Fantastic location with diverse breakfast offerings
I had an enjoyable stay with a prime location just minutes from Taksim Square. The breakfast was particularly delightful, featuring freshly made omelets and various local specialties that changed daily. The cleanliness of the rooms was commendable, and the staff were very accommodating. However, the shower drainage was a bit slow, which could be improved.

missingWrote a review on Jun 18prime locationdiverse breakfastnoise disturbances
Location is top-notch, just a stone's throw from Taksim Square and major public transport, making city exploration a breeze. Breakfast offerings include a variety of fresh pastries and homemade jams, served in a clean dining area with nice street views.
The noise levels were a real issue, with street sounds and mosque calls breaking the serenity at odd hours. The shower drainage struggled to keep up, leading to an uncomfortable experience after a long day out. Also, the furniture felt a bit dated, and some areas seemed like they could use a fresh coat of paint or a deep clean. I found a lingering odor from the bathroom plumbing that had a hint of discomfort, indicating the need for regular maintenance. Basic amenities occasionally felt lacking upon arrival, especially in terms of toiletries.

A Convenient Stay with Great Service!
Our family enjoyed a memorable 6-night stay, appreciating the clean rooms and attentive staff. Breakfast offered diverse traditional dishes, though the coffee could use improvement. For a quiet night, consider earplugs due to nearby calls from mosques. Proximity to Taksim Square makes exploring effortless!

The hotel experience was disappointing overall. We faced several challenges, particularly with the noisy environment. The room sounded like it was right next to the street, making sleep difficult with frequent disturbances from the outside, including early morning calls from mosques. Additionally, the bath corner was not tall enough, leading to discomfort during showers. The area surrounding the hotel felt a bit unsafe at night, raising concerns about our safety, especially after hearing about pickpockets nearby.
