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.

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

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.
