Reviews and Ratings
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.
The hotel offers beautiful rooms overlooking the atrium inside, with no natural light. The bathrooms are amazing and the rooms are large, well-appointed, and incredibly comfortable. The lobby is gorgeous, the food at the breakfast buffet is top quality and plentiful.

The hotel offers incredibly spacious and comfortable rooms. The lobby is just gorgeous, and the breakfast buffet is top quality with plentiful items. However, the location may not be perfect for walking around without the need for a taxi ride to all places.
