5 star hotel, 5 star review
My stay here was amazing, the room was clean and was well presented. The gym was very big and had everything that I needed, and spa area was very pleasant. The staff were very accommodating and welcoming from the moment I arrived. I would highly recommend this hotel, and special thanks to Misra and Elif for the smooth and quick check out. I will definitely be returning soon.
It was alright. Most of the staff were helpful and polite!!

My family and I stayed here in July 2024 and had a great experience. The staff is nice, friendly, and polite. If you want to use the pool, you must buy and wear a swimming cap, which they sell for 60 TL.

The hotel is in a slightly industrial type area affording a good opportunity to see work and bustle in a non-tourist environment but still with many local restaurants to hand. Istanbul library is a short walk (we'll worth a visit for it's community spaces) and T4 metro/tram line station is also very close by. They serve a good breakfast and we all enjoyed swimming in the pool.

The property and the services exceeded my expectations. I was there for 8 nights and i had a great stay!
Only minus is the area (lots of mechanic shops, and warehouses, etc.) There isn't much to do on foot. But with a car, you can get to everything you need to in less than 10-15 minutes.

Best Hotel of My Trip – Exceptional Service!
This is hands down the best hotel I stayed at during my trip! The service was absolutely amazing—I’ve never experienced service like this in Turkey. The valet parking team and security staff were incredibly nice, respectful, and spoke English very well. The service felt like more than 5 stars, and they were extremely generous!
The room was very clean and spacious, making it totally worth the money. The only downside is that it’s a bit far from Taksim and Galata Port, but it wasn’t an issue for me since we had a car. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel!
