If we had the opportunity to come back to Istanbul we wouldn’t stay here. I’m sorry. Small gym, problems on cleaning the rooms, when cleaned it still the floor was dirty. Stairs and corridors dirty with trash and garbage bags spilling from the garbage. WiFi connection weak or does not work on room 225-226. For a five star hotel still has a lot to change and get better. High prices for bad service.

The hotel was fine but not a 5☆ compared to European standard. The rooms facing the road is very noisy and had to change room to the back of the hotel. The bar area is nice and the rooms are spacious but dated. Some of the hangers were broken. I would consider it a good 3 ☆ hotel. Theres nothing near the hotel except the metro.

I was offered a non-smoking room, unfortunately it was right above a smoking area, i think from the street below or something - all I know is it felt like someone was constantly smoking right next to me.
I'm generally a simple person who doesn't like complaining and asking to be moved but on this occasion even the hotel guys realised how bad it was, so at around midnight and after hours of ignoring it I asked to be moved and they did. I loved my new room.
Breakfast was lovely and the location was good for me.
The room weren't spotlessly clean but it was workable, all went well for me and I had a good stay.

A fantastic hotel located in the old city, near excellent sightseeing spots like the Kariye Mosque. The staff are very helpful and polite. It’s very clean, with large, well-equipped rooms. Overall, it’s a highly recommended place to stay if you’re visiting Istanbul.

The room we got had the main room and the sofa bed in different rooms. The hotel staff was amazing, pool was clean. Breakfast was included and had quite a variety of options. We tried the massage which was USD 80 for an hour, started with a sauna, the massage and a turkish hammam bath. Very relaxing. Housekeeping was great. The top floor had a rooftop bar which was quite empty but had a nice view. Just a lil far from a few places but the train station was just a few minutes walk so quite accessible.

Amazing Stay – Exceeded Our Expectations!

Our family of six (four adults and two kids) had a wonderful stay at this hotel while celebrating a family reunion and my son's birthday. Everything was beyond our expectations – from the cleanliness and amenities to the exceptional service and delicious breakfast.

After a disappointing experience at a hotel in Cappadocia, this hotel truly restored our faith in Turkey's hospitality.

A special thanks to a staff member (I believe his name was Vayser?) who went above and beyond to help us during the March protests in Istanbul. Due to police roadblocks, we were unable to drive to the hotel after an exhausting eight-hour journey from Cappadocia. He kindly assisted us in bringing our car to the hotel, and we are incredibly grateful for his kindness and support.

Thank you to the entire team for making our stay so memorable! We highly recommend this hotel and will definitely return in the future.

The room wasn’t cleaned well. Whoever cleans the room didn’t check that the liquid soap was empty for two days until we called and asked for soap. The bathtub drain was full of hair so the water wouldn’t drain out due to the clog while taking a shower. Beds and pillows aren’t comfy at all. The elevators in this hotel was the worst experience , crowded every morning and the breakfast lineup was so long. Needs a lot of improvement.

One of the worst hotels we ever used.
We had a very bad stay and terrible nights in this look-alike hotel. This is a scam hotel never 5 stars at all.

We are a belgian couple and never in our hundreds of trips had such a thing.
The rooms are very dirty, noisy, very old with broken window and broken bed. Torn paper paint and humidity on the walls. plus, bed sheets, towels and pillows have stains and dirty. some times even burnt.
We changed room during the 6 night-stay. But nothing changed.
We got sick of allergy because of dust and dirt.
Add to that the staff in the reception are very arogant and are not helpful. Everyone in the bulding want to be tipped if you pass by them. Even the entrance of the hotel is so smelly.

Average 3 star hotel close to metro

The room was large with very poor night time and bathroom lighting. During the day, the room was light filled and pleasant. Unfortunarely the cleanliness of the room was terrible. It had not been properly cleaned for a very long time. The cheap rug under the bed was so disgusting, i was happy slippers were provided. In my week long stay, my bed sheets were only changed on the fifth day.
The kettle had caked on milk which had obviously not been checked. My booking included breakfast which was pleasant with a good selection of food. The hotel was a few minutes walk from the Metro system which is on the airport line. By changing at yusufpasa or arkasay you can jump on the tram line into the historical centre.
I only stayed here because they had an outdoor pool which i ended up hardly using. Having stayed in Istanbul many times before, better hotels certainly exist for the same price. The hotel was full and the staff were very friendly and helpful however due to the lack of cleanliness i would not stay here again.

Hotel with great breakfast

The heating system was on and we visited in April. It was too warm. We complained many times, but they said air conditioning would not be turned on yet. They said open the window. Hotel is situated on main dual carriageway so it was very noisy even at night. Pool was out of order. This made our trip to Istanbul a bit of a disappointment because we did not get the comfort and rest we needed to enjoy our excursions. The breakfast was terrific.

definitely not a \"5 star\" hotel

I've never written a review before but here goes...I booked this hotel for 3 reasons: air-conditioning, free wi-fi, and a gym. I booked 3 nights. The first day the AC wasn't working so I called multiple times to get it checked. Next day, still not working so I spoke with a manager who
assured us it would get checked. By
the time I returned from the hotel that night, it still wasn't working. At
that point I gave up. It's ok if there is
a problem with the AC but the lack of concern/response was annoying. Also, the wifi in my room was going in and out the entire time, again I called to see if they could fix it, and nothing. Lastly, the gym is one bike that he said I had to use between 10-11 bc the room is also used for the spa or something. So if these 3 things matter to you like they did for me, I wouldn't count on them. Otherwise, hotel itself was clean and reasonable, buffet was clean and decent. Its a 10 minute walk to the tram, the immediate neighborhood has nothing, it's mainly roads. Not worth this place unless you get a really, really good deal.

Terrible hotel. The lobby looks good but the carpet in the room is so dirty. The bathroom looks like from 1 star hotel. The towels is gray instead white. No swimming pool (it's open just at the summer time). No Wi-Fi (you can get so slow Wi-Fi just in the lobby. The breakfast is the same every day. No laundry room - there is a laundry service and you have to pay $11.00 for each. This is not 5 star hotel.

Great location, great pool, nice hotel overall.

The room we stayed at was very roomy and quiet which we liked a lot. It had a view to the pool and the city. We were greeted by the complimentary fruit basket on the first day of our stay, the bed was comfy, room had a table and ample room to kick back. I actually wished we had stayed our whole time here. It is close to the tram stop so moving back and forth from sights was really easy. The tub had a few spots of black mold around the seams but the room was clean other than that, the floor's lobby was a little dull, but I think the decor was meant to be old fashioned so that was ok. The breakfast buffet was not up to par to other hotels we had visited in Turkey, and that is not good since they served the same stuff every day. The service was excellent.

Con Hotel

We thought we had booked a 5 star and a hotel which was very popular. However our experience was disappointing. The hotel did not have any ironing boards and recommend we give our clothes to the laundry which was prohibitively expensive. We had paid for a triple room but were cramped into a room which was very small. They would give 2 towels and for 5 days that we stayed we had to call the reception for towels and soap. Housekeeping is non existent as they never pick up the phone. Asked for a late check out on the last day (4 pm instead of 12 noon) and they told us that the hotel was fully booked. However if we paid a half day charge it would be possible. Ridiculous taking into consideration that we spent 5 nights there. And what took the cake was the charge for water. They gave us 2 bottles of water for 3 people. One kept with the tea and coffee and the other in the fridge. Both exactly the same but the one in the fridge cold. We were expected to have some divine knowledge to realize that the one in the fridge is chargeable while the one outside is free. And the air conditioning in the room was so bad it felt that the hotel was trying saving pennies wherever they could. Please don't get conned by this hotel.

Mooi hotel maar beetje vergane glorie. De douchekop viel uiteen, elektriciteit viel uit door kortsluiting bij de stopcontacten.

Personeel aan de balie spreekt gebrekkig Engels. Was niet heel vriendelijk.
Het personeel aan het zwembad en lounge bar was dan wel heel behulpzaam.
Het gratis gebruik van sauna, Turks bad en Hamam was eerder bedrog. In elke faciliteit mag je 10min vertoeven zonder enige uitleg, heel onvriendelijk.
