Reviews
Valet, bellboy, and porters were helpful but front desk and reception need major training in customer service
The location is where every tourist would want to stay. It is right in the Taksim circle where all the action is. Metro is right across the street, and the taxis were always waiting/passing by on the street.
The pool and the spa were great. We didn’t spend a lot of time there, but the time we went it wasn’t busy.
Other reviews complained about the noise, we didn’t hear any street noise from the room. We did hear some very faint music on some nights. It may have been a party in the hotel, but it was very hard to hear and it didn’t stop us from sleeping.
All in all, it would be my #1 choice hotel when visiting Istanbul.
The only negative part i didn’t like sometime the reception attitude, always in rush and not welcoming. Rest was good
Note, it is very crowded, be careful.
Hotel is wonderful, not cheap, but high quality for the area, enjoyed the pool everyday. Metro station directly underneath. Easy to use.
Receptionists are fine but could be better.
View is excellent, housekeeping and room service are perfect.
Facility is very good.
(1) The check out process took excruciatingly long. I checked out at 4 am when no one was waiting and it took an extra 10 mins. They conducted a manual check of the room before check out can be completed. Feels like quite backwards in this day and age when they have your credit card on file to pay for any incidental expenses. I can’t imagine how long the process would had been during normal hours.
(2) The front agent accused us of taking a mini bar item when we did not. I told her that we did not take anything but she didn’t believe me and insisted on charging me $5 usd for the coke. It was only after I consulted my friend to double confirmed that nothing was taken, and challenged to go back to the room to check before she agreed to refund the 5 usd. Seriously, having paid hundreds of dollars for a room, I doubt anyone would like about consuming a bottle of coke from the minibar.
(3) When checking in, there were 2 staff in the reception area. I was waiting in line to talk to one person. Upon finishing checking in a customer, the agent decided to have a conversation with a friend that have just showed up. I waited another 3-4 minutes before he concluded his jovial conversation to help me.
Nice property but don’t stay here if service is important to you (which apparently is a sentiment shared by other reviews)
Staff incredible helpful, specially at the restaurant. Both my daughters with severe nuts allergies were made feel safe and comfortable. Massive thanks to Hasan who looked after us incredibly well.
Highly recommended hotel. I will come back.
