Reviewed 23 August 2014 via mobile

Been to this hotel for 6 days during a large business meeting organisation. Neat and tidy. Restaurant has a good atmosphere meals are tasty and there are variety of choices. I advice to take a corner room at the higher floors for the best view. Rooms are Comfortable and well designed. Beds are really really comfortable.My room was quite silent although the hotel is on a main road. Meeting rooms a little bit narrow and can make you bored easily if you have long meetings except thr ones on the roof. We had some issues with the projector in the room at the B floor and lost almost 20mins until to be fixed. Elevators are always busy and you may easily see long ques in front if the elevators.

The hotel is beautiful in general, good location, good standard of cleanliness, good amenities
A small room, no free internet service (except the lobby),
By the way, far from the Bosphorus area , from the name of the hotel expects to be directly overlooking the Bosphorus , but this is not true, but it is very far from that region can not access them via the walk

Room tip: rooms on the Bosphorus side are nice

Great hotel, great staff, fantastic bed in fact the first time i havent looked forward to getting back to my own bed!!! The location is a bit out of the way but the taxis are cheap and the buses stop right out the front. Some cab drivers are not sure where it is so take a card. The spa area is clean and so where the rooms and all communal areas. we would deffinatley stay again.

Hotel is fairly new. I was upgraded to stay in a room with the Bosporus view and the view was really nice. However, the room is very, very small. It was not a problem for my 7 day stay.

The hotel is on top of a hill about 2 miles away from Bosporus. Walking up that hill to go back to your hotel is simply not possible. You need to take a cab/bus. If you are going to go back to your hotel around rush hour, expect to spend 20-30 minutes stuck in traffic on the way back to your hotel. At night 9pm-10pm, the same ride takes about 4 minutes.

Otherwise, the hotel is very very good. Check out the rooftop, the Turkish Bath and the swimming pool. You will love it.

Room tip: If you take the city view room, you get a nice nook in the window sill with a nice view and a shower that overlooks the city - a bunch of roofs (no, I really mean that. You see the city as you take a shower through the glass shower doors). If you get the Bosporus view, you are getting a much smaller room with a nice view.

I stayed here on a work trip. It's relatively new and very clean. I agree with other reviews:
1. Location is not a tourist location and not on the metro, so taxis needed
2. Staff somewhat aloof (with some exceptions) and not always welcoming, except at the front desk
3. Great views from rooms on the Bosporus side

I thought breakfast was very good.
Rooftop bar & restaurant is lovely spot but service and food not impressive.

Room not big but very well appointed, slept well.
I will likely return.
