Reviews and Ratings
I was thrilled with the variety of rooms available, catering to different budgets, from economy to luxury, with city or sea views. The cleanliness was top-notch, though the luxury aspect was a bit lacking. Overall, a very satisfactory stay.
My stay at the hotel was impressive, with spacious and clean rooms offering a wonderful view of the Bosphorus. The service, especially from night staff Yohan, was excellent. The location was close to major attractions, though the breakfast and accessibility due to narrow streets posed challenges.
