We stayed here on the second leg of our trip to Istanbul, having previously spent two nights in the historic Sultanahmet area.
Firstly, when we arrived the hotel staff were very attentive showing us two maps of Istanbul. One with all the local attractions and another with trips across the city which was very helpful.
Secondly, the room was excellent. Very spacious, lovely comfortable bed, leather sofa, marble bathroom and a giant size bath - you need to run it for 20 minutes before it's ready! No complaints at all. Continental breakfast on request as you have to phone down to reception who bring it up.
Thirdly, good location to nearby Metro. Also, our return trip to the airport (Sabiha) was made a lot easier when we realised a bus goes every half hour from Taksim Square (north side, just along from McDonalds) to the airport..
The only down side is some noise from outside.as there is a nightclub a few yards away from the hotel entrance.
PS Istanbul is quite cold in the winter so take a warm coat. Hotel was great value but the weak pound is evident when eating/drinking out.More
