Reviews
Be prepared that the room size is a bit small. Also, the bathroom on the first floor had a strong sewage smell, which I hope they can improve.
Thank you.
The location of the hotel is excellent. You can walk to many places such as Galataport and Taksim, and there are tram and bus stops right across the street, making it easy to reach different parts of the city. The port is also very close if you’d like to take a ferry.
We stayed in a superior room this time, and during my previous visit I stayed in a deluxe room. Both were great — spacious, clean, and comfortable. We could call the reception at any time if we needed something, and they responded immediately.
I would also like to thank Mr. Fatih from the reception for his outstanding attention and helpfulness. He is a very friendly and professional staff member who takes his job very seriously.
Highly recommended — definitely a hotel I will keep coming back to!
- The views from the hotel rooms are different from the photos; some rooms overlook a garbage dump! (Photos attached).
- The hotel furniture is old; the photos are outdated and do not reflect reality!
- The receptionist and his colleague, named Youssef, were not helpful. I filed a complaint with the hotel management.
- I think some of the reception staff need training on how to deal with hotel guests.
- There is an employee sitting at a table in the back; (I'm not sure) but I think he gives instructions to the receptionist!
- The check-in process took (three hours)! . It was exhausting for my family… They offered me coupon !! , but I refused it.
- I declined three rooms with poor views; they overlooked a garbage dump (photos attached).
- My family was left in the dark for almost half an hour due to an employee's mistake.
Everything was very clean, modern, and well
maintained. I would especially like to
highlight the friendly and attentive staff -you
truly feel welcome.
A special highlight was the rooftop bar. I was
served by Mustafa, an incredibly kind and
friendly waiter. His service was attentive,
warm, and professional. A big compliment to
him!
I would happily come back and can highly
recommend this hotel
The 7th floor restaurant has a lovely view of the sea and the surroundings.
Only issue is the valet parking, they have a small parking space outside on the street and the valet will move your car even 2-3 time a day, like it's a toy car, sometimes taking it 50m distance away from the hotel, basically on the street. Unacceptable guys, you need to stop doings this. If my car is parked in a spot where it's not blocking anyone or any entrance, just leave it there, it's not a toy to play with.
