The hotel provided a very comfortable stay with nice breakfast options, but the room size was smaller than expected. The location was convenient, close to Taksim Square, with easy access to amenities. The dining experience offered a variety of tasty dishes, though some found it lacking. Overall, it was a satisfactory stay within a great location.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were simple yet equipped with everything I needed, providing isolation and comfort. The service was top-notch, with the staff always ready to help and even assisting us with our luggage upon arrival. The location, although central, was a bit noisy at night due to a nearby restaurant playing loud music. The dining experience offered a variety of dishes, but some maintenance issues were noted in the room. Overall, a good value for the price.

The hotel offers comfortable and clean rooms with a shared balcony. It has a four-star feel but lacks a minibar and was on heater mode during my stay, making A/C unavailable at the time. The service was attentive and kind, even providing a medical emergency kit promptly. The location is incredibly close to Taksim Square but suffered from noise at night due to a nearby loud restaurant. Dining options were satisfactory, though not elaborate. Overall, a decent value for the money.

The hotel had modern and comfortable rooms but was full of mosquitoes. Despite small rooms and beds, the staff was approachable and always willing to help. However, they made us walk with our bags and young children instead of dropping us off directly. The location is great, close to many restaurants, cafes, and Istiklal Street. The dining experience was good with a variety of tasty food. Be aware of a few things to note around the location.
