I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the location is impressive, being close to major attractions and easy access to the tram, the rooms were not what I expected and the service could use some improvement. The breakfast options were decent but lacked variety, and overall, the value for money was just okay.

My stay at this hotel had its ups and downs. The location is fantastic, just a short walk from major attractions like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, and there are plenty of restaurants nearby. Unfortunately, the rooms had a rather unpleasant smell, and I noticed some bugs. The service was friendly overall, but my experience with the management was quite negative. The dining options were also lacking, with poor quality food served at breakfast. Despite these issues, the price was reasonable considering the location.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms are spacious and offer a fantastic view, but the service left a lot to be desired, especially with the management's attitude towards guests. The location is excellent and allows easy access to major attractions in Istanbul. Overall, while the room was great and breakfast was delightful, the service issues really made my stay less enjoyable.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On one hand, the location is fantastic, just minutes from the tram and close to major attractions like the Blue Mosque, plus the views from the rooftop are incredible. On the downside, the service left a lot to be desired with rude staff and a strange billing process. The room, while spacious, felt a bit uninviting and the breakfast could certainly use improvement.

I had a pretty mixed experience at this hotel. The location is absolutely fantastic, with all the major sights just a short walk away. The service was friendly and helpful, but the room left a lot to be desired in terms of cleanliness and size. I felt a bit let down by the dining options too, which didn't quite meet my expectations, especially considering the price. Overall, while the location and staff were great, I wouldn't say it was the best value for money.
