I had a wonderful experience at the hotel. The room had a spectacular view of the Bosphorus, was spacious, and had clean bedding with daily snacks. The bathroom and shower were of a very high standard. The service was exceptional outside the rooms with a warm welcome from various staff members. The location was great for exploring the Bosphorus and Dolmabache Palace. The dining experience offered a good selection but lacked in taste. Overall, it was a comfortable and enjoyable stay.
