Reviews
It extremely well situated, very good breakfast.
I will totally go again, and recommand it to anyone .
What stood out the most were the employees , they were incredibly helpful, polite, and professional. They truly represent the best of Turkish hospitality and give Turkey a wonderful image in the eyes of every guest.
A big bravo to the whole team for making my experience unforgettable! I would definitely come back and highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Istanbul.
The first thing we noticed in the room was the red lipstick? stains on the bathroom floor. So we had to call room service within two minutes.
There was no hot water in the shower.
Bars of soap were only provided after we asked.
The spa only gave out shower jel - bright blue. Like really?
In the evening, I decided to check out the terrace and have a drink. Thinking they had my room number I went back to my room. Staff decided it was appropriate to call us at 1:30 AM demanding they come to the door to receive payment. We politely said that we would settle at check out as with any normal hotel.
Overall the hospitality was very average for a chain hotel as such. Our expectations were not met & I would genuinely recommend some kind of revamp and to spare a few extra liras. I’m not sure if soap is the place to start from when it comes to becoming a more cost efficient hotel.
Due to a change of plans, I had to leave earlier. When I explained the situation to the reception, they were very understanding and told me it was fine — they just needed Booking.com to call and confirm the free cancellation for the remaining nights. I appreciated their attitude and expected the process to go smoothly.
However, after Booking.com contacted the hotel, they suddenly changed their position and refused any flexibility, saying the booking was “non-refundable.” This was quite frustrating, especially after being told otherwise by the reception team.
In other 5-star hotels I’ve stayed at, management always tried to show understanding and find a fair solution, even with non-refundable bookings. Here, the communication felt inconsistent and dismissive.
I believe a 5-star property should value guest trust and be willing to act with integrity and fairness, not hide behind policies after giving different promises.
Special thanks to Mr. Eren at the reception for his kindness and professionalism. The complimentary Turkish coffee was a lovely touch. We’d definitely stay here again! ☕🌇
