Everything about this hotel is first-class. The rooms are well-appointed and have great views (most of them). The staff is well-informed and unfailingly courteous and professional. Special praise for Muzaffer, the room attendant on the 4th floor. He was efficient, professional, and very friendly. I should that in general the location is excellent— many shops and restaurants within walking distance.

The location couldn’t be better if you want to stay right in the center of Taksim. I’ll definitely come back next time I’m in Istanbul!

Not a bad hotel but the pool is filthy.

The room was clean and tidy and a decent space. Checked in and went to the roof top pool to relax after our flight only to be horrified by a dirty pool. Shocked to see this at the hotel. The staff were all friendly and the location is good.
Filthy pool. No signs to say it’s closed.
Not been cleaned for months.
I wouldn’t want to swim in this.
