Slightly disappointing

Breakfast could be better considering the price and compared to competitor hotels at a similar price point and segment. Restaurant and room service prices on the high end and quality could be be better.

From the moment I arrived, the attention to detail from every member of staff ensured my trip worked like a dream. The entire team was incredibly attentive, but I must give special thanks to Murat. His dedication to meeting my every need truly stood out. Whether it was arranging last-minute reservations or providing insightful local tips, Murat went above and beyond to make my stay unforgettable. The seamless coordination and genuine care from the staff made this trip one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. Highly recommended! I have found my new home from home in Istanbul

Our TV was not working the day we arrived, and even after multiple complaints through reception it was not fixed until the next day evening. Socket in the bathroom was not working as well, and hooks were falling off the wall. Reception are all men, not a single a woman. In general the impression was not the best.

Everything was terrible: Check-in, dirty sheets (has to be changed when asked), executive room was very small with no coffee machine and the water boiler was broken. Change my room and it was as terrible as the previous one. We got a cake for our wedding anniversary which was also terrible. The key word: TERRIBLE. Disappointed member of Bonvoy Marriott !
