Overall, our stay was okay, but there were several disappointing experiences. The hotel itself was clean, and the rooms were well maintained, which we appreciated.

Unfortunately, the staff were not very friendly or helpful throughout our stay. One night, we were unable to sleep because there was a loud fight on our floor that continued for quite some time, and it significantly affected our experience. We also wanted to have dinner at the hotel restaurant, but we were turned away because they said they close at 10:00 PM, even though we arrived close to that time.

While the cleanliness of the hotel was a positive, the lack of hospitality and the disturbance during the night made our stay less enjoyable than we had hoped.

My wife, our two kids, and I had a wonderful stay. We loved the hotel.

The location is excellent, making it easy to get around, and our room was spacious, bright, and well-ventilated.

A special thank you to the housekeeping staff who looked after Room 404. The room was cleaned to an exceptional standard throughout our stay, and their attention to detail made a real difference.

We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to families.

Ancak ertesi gün, başka bir personel, saat 13:00'te çıkış yapmayı anlaşılanını söylediğimde reddetti. Saat 12:00'de çıkış yapmam konusunda ısrar etti. Toplamda bu otelde 13 saat geçirdim ve bu süreye (ve ödediğim paraya) değmedi. Sadece görevli karşılar personel sayesinde 3 yıldız veriyorum, yoksa 2 yıldız verirdim.

Normally very good, but not on this occasion

This hotel is my favourite place to stay when in Istanbul. I’ve stayed here many times. On longer stays I book the junior or delux suites and have experienced no issues at all. However, I’ve noticed that when I stay in the standard rooms for a shorter stay the water never gets hot. On this stay we had to have cold showers, soap dispensers were empty, the safe wasn’t operable and I got an electric shock from the plug socket.

The hotel came up as 5-star in my search, but it is not a 5-star by design. In my view this is a 3-star hotel in essence upgraded to be rated as 5-star. It doesn't have an exclusive restaurant. The BIGSHEF restaurant you get your breakfast is a public one in ground floor that has a door thru to hotel. The breakfast is not all you can eat style Kahvalti style popular in Turkiye and generally in all hotels. You pick an option out of a few and get a small breakfast and a cup of hot drink. If you want more you have to order. I've never seen anything like this before. Disappointed!
Room is just slightly bigger than the bed, no much space to move around. Aircon made a lot of noise and they sent a technician but was not fixed properly. Kettle was not working (switch broken) and power lead was too short to reach power point! They replaced with another. Wall Power points were loose. both in room and bathroom.
Furniture were small (given room was small) and not plenty of space for laptop use.
Pool was small and in a closed covered room with no windows and during 3 days of stay I didn't see anyone using it so scary to be there on your own. Gym was not bad but I didn't use it. Didn't use Turkish Hamam, it is exclusive to one person and you need to book in advance. Massage room was good with two tables and looked nice, but didn't use it.

I think if you have a 3-star hotel expectation you wouldn't be disappointed but the price is too high for it.
Positive: Sishane Metro in front!

We booked the junior suit with Galata Tower view and it was splendid. Airy apartment with small Juliet balcony, very sunny, spacious bedroom, good size dining and living area, small kitchenette. This is the best location you can get, old town on a hill and within less then 5 min walk to the main shopping street yet in a quiet location with spectacular view. The reception is very helpful Murat, Erbil ( ordering take away food for us) polite and welcoming. As Covid restriction have changed in Turkey after our arrival (mid Dec) we had to self-isolate for 10 days ( as we traveled from the UK) but as we booked 3 weeks here this wasn’t an issue for us as we were recovering from cosmetic treatment and the hotel was very supportive, delivering us all essential to the door on daily basis. The Internet connection was good ( I used it for work),in front of the hotel there is a metro station ( we didn’t use metro) as walking distance everywhere and a picturesque square where many visitors come and seat on a stairs & enjoy the view. We would be very happy to come back.

Hotel's location was good, however the price was overrated for what they offer. Cleanliness was below average, bathroom has stains, lack of amenities only 1 small shower gel and shampoo for 2 people.

Mattress and pillows were not comfortable at all.

The desk legs were broken so beware.

The breakfast was limited and on the last day we were offered frozen fruits and NOT fresh, very disappointing.

1st day breakfast was late by 30 minute for a fruit salad.

Not to mention that we were refused accees to the rooftop restaurant without a booking, while the receptionist confirmed reservations are not required.

The location of the property is excellent but there are issues with noise, and the size of their ‘standard rooms’. I have never stayed in such a small hotel room before.

Room (a suite) is old and in need of repair. Toilet does not stop running, 3 out of 3 stand alone lamps/lights each blew the first time they were turned on. My \"Deluxe Suite\" was the best room in the hotel, it came with a dishwasher, which is great, but I do not expect to empty this dishwasher of a complete 4 piece dining set before i could use anything.

Now for the restaurant. I went there the first night, it was busy so got sat at the bar, which is fine, it was just me dining. fine until the barman starts using the drinks blender right in front me causing a huge racket. once he finished bursting ear drums he them proceeded to do some dish washing directly in front of me leaving me soaking wet. I had already been waiting 15 minutes to order a drink let alone my meal so I left and went upsaitrs to my room to dry off.

2nd night I went to the same place, sat outside this time but it was late and the kitchen would stop serving after half an hour. Waiter came over, I asked him to return in 2 minutes as I had meet a courier on the corner to receive documents, he said take 5 minutes. I said no, and repeated myself. He left, and stayed away. After 10 minutes I handed my menu in and asked for the manager. I was informed that the manager had gone him.

Great restaurant “ big chef” within hotel itself and they provide in room service. Hotel staff very friendly, helpful and courteous. Early check in was allowed.

+ the breakfast is not an open buffet, it's a la cart, portions are very small & only 1 plate per person, for example if you choose eggs then no desserts, I can't imagine a 4 stars hotel with this breakfast system !
