Reviews
And the room cleaning stopped at 4pm
No any spa
But there is a small gym
I’ve booked terrace room, which is one of highest priced and expected good quality room and view.
Terrace was already closed in November, even tho weather is good, furniture is covered. But more importantly the view from the balcony is awful, there is nothing but garbage and backyard. Literally not worth it!
Room is clean, but not super fresh.
This hotel doesn’t have rooms with bathtubs, only shower if that important.
No constant concierge service to open the door or meet you on arrival.
Actually service is below average.
Breakfast ok, but nothing special.
Not sure for what it got in Michelin guide and trip recommendations, this is mediocre hotel in Istanbul.
No spa amenities, nothing.
Disappointed experience.
Our room was clean and had a spacious bathroom, which was nice. However, we were placed on the first floor, and the view was underwhelming.
The staff greeted us and said hello, but I didn’t feel very welcomed for a 5-star service. They could have been more helpful with directions and local tips, especially since we were female travelers. Overall, service felt a bit distant. maybe I expected more from a 5-star property. (Just my personal opinion )
Pros:
- Excellent location
- Safe area for female travelers
- Clean room and big bathroom
Cons:
- First floor view was disappointing
- Staff could be friendlier and more helpful
