    Pool was smaller than expected. AC was horrible, we asked to be moved to another room, it was still awful, we ended up opening windows. Limited electric adapter in the triple room.

    Water power in the shower. Breakfast was nice. Location was awesome. Strong wifi.

    It was like a sauna. No air conditioning. They suggested opening windows but as it’s near a busy road the sound when you open the windows is very loud.

    The breakfast could be better, some fresh fruit would be nice and some more choices but it was fine. The coffee at breakfast wasn't good - the only good coffee is from a paid Costa machine in the lobby.

    The location is fantastic, and it has wonderful views. Unfortunately there were huge roadworks outside which were really noisy and dusty - not th ehotels fault of course! The bedrooms are a little tired in decor, but they clean them daily and clean them well. They could do with a refresh, but the price was really good so we were happy. The breakfast wasn't all that great but was fine. ALL the staff were lovely.

    Loud music on Friday snd Saturday evening from roof top that starts from around 9pm to midnight (I guess).

    Great locaton, just a few steps walk to metro and a major bus stop. Fantastic view of the Halic from my room. Lots to choose for breakfast. I particularly love the Turkish scarmbled eggs. Staff are polite and very helpful.

    The staff had a very unprofessional approach, they pressured me over and over to use their airport transit service. When I asked for an iron they asked to charge me extra. The swimming pool was only accessible from 14 to 21 and it wasn't always open on time so I had to go to the reception and ask them in person.

    The location was good and the hotel was acceptable and clean.

    I have stayed at many hotels in Istanbul, but this one was by far the worst. The service was extremely poor, and the staff were unhelpful. You definitely do not feel welcome here. The room smelled of smoke, the air conditioning was terrible, and the rooms were very old. This hotel does not meet the standards of a 4-star hotel. It is at best a 2-star in my opinion. The only positive aspect of this hotel was its location. It's disappointing to see such low standards in a city known for its hospitality. I strongly advise against staying here and recommend finding another hotel in Istanbul that values its guests.

    We didn't like most of it.. It says it is 4 stars hotel but it is 1 or 2 stars at most. Very rude customer service. Sea view room are very small. Water and tea coffee only on the first day.. even though we stayed (and paid) for 7 days.. Photos of the rooms are misleading. Altogether I don't recommend it.

    The location is the only good thing.. but I guess if we knew how bad this hotel was, we would easily find better options around.

    We didn't like that at night a very unpleasant smell appeared from the bathroom, which didn't let us sleep well.

    We liked the location of the hotel and the cleanliness of the hotel.
