mixed experience
dirty windows limited breakfast
the location near the market was convenient.
i booked a room advertised with a bosphorus view, but the windows were quite dirty. this made it difficult to fully appreciate the scenery i paid extra for. also, the breakfast options felt rather limited for a hotel of this supposed caliber.

good equipment breakfast buffet bosphorus views
The gym HAS plenty of space and good equipment! The breakfast buffet had so many options. It covered everything you could want. I REALLY appreciated the executive lounge, especially the Bosphorus river views it gave.
The sound isolation in the room was HORRIBLE.

Excellent stay with beautiful Bosphorus views
early check-in comfortable bed afternoon food
the staff managed a slightly early check-in, and kept my bag after checkout because my flight was late. the room was clean and featured a very comfortable bed. the lounge offered food during certain hours in the afternoon, complementing the drinks.
i booked a king room with a bosphorus view, yet the room felt somewhat mediocre. i think there are better rooms for the price in the area.
