Good service and comfortable beds. We didn’t choose to pay for breakfast so I don’t know about the food. Wonderful view but only for short periods because we had to close curtains for privacy. It’s quite a distances and uphill from public transport.

Our stay was for 6 nights. All of the staff were courteous, friendly & most helpful. Breakfast was a highlight with a very diverse & healthy selection.Our room was very quiet & comfortable, with the hotel in close proximity to restaurants, the light rail, which connects to major attractions in 6-7 minutes, 9-10 minutes for the Bosphorus. The manager was very generous with his time organising tours & taxi cabs, etc. We were very pleased with our hotel selection.

Floor had stains all over it. The bedroom floor had black stains and the toilet floor had red stains on it. The double bed was not a double, it was two singles put together so you couldn't sleep in the middle of it as the two mattresses would just split. Food was poor, mediocre at best but staff were lovely and kind.
