The hotel had some positives such as a great location near Taksim Square and friendly service, but the rooms were small and faced a wall with antennas, not quite as advertised. Despite some drawbacks, the service, especially from employees like Miss Guzel and Miss Tamara, stood out as exceptional with a genuine desire to ensure guest comfort.

The hotel is in a great location, just minutes away from major Taksim Station, connecting you to everything. The rooms are quite spacious and alright; however, they are super small, making it difficult to fully open the shower door. The service was super friendly, especially Ms. Abdulkadir, the duty manager, who was very helpful. The location is fantastic for exploring Istanbul, close to Taksim Square and Istiklal Street. The dining experience was excellent, offering a variety of fresh and delicious options. Overall, a crowded hotel due to high demand from holiday trips, but the staff, like Miss Tamara at the reception, make efforts to ease any inconveniences.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although advertised with a balcony and 'king size' bed, were quite noisy due to the loud music from the bars below, making it difficult to sleep early. The room size also didn't match the photos online. On the bright side, the service was top-notch, especially thanks to Mr Abdul-Aziz, the Concierge. The location was great, close to major attractions, shopping areas, and lively nightlife. However, the dining options were below expectations and could use improvement.

The hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms, though attached to walls and not luxurious, were of adequate size for 2 adults and everything else about the stay was stellar. The location was convenient for a short walk to the city center and great restaurants, but it could get crowded due to limited space. The dining offered a delicious variety of foods but fell short at breakfast and dinner times. Overall, a mixed experience with room for improvement.
