Definitely nothing like advertised!
The staff were okay but most of the services are not available like iron and spa etc. Constant banging throughout the day and night had to call them one night to stop!
shouldn’t be a “4 star” or any star for that matter. Should be a budget hotel
The “sea view” room is too far from the sea.
Not worth the price

It was okay at best. The area around is designed for tourists so over priced, lower quality, dirty, VERY busy and yet everyone speaks limited English which doesn’t make sense to me. Customer service was not good, they ignore you or just pretend they don’t hear you. I won’t recommend staying here

I especially liked the staff at the front desk. They were always willing to help me with my needs. And they did it in a kind way and always with a smile!

A compact hotel close to Taksim Square
It was a standard hotel close to amenities around Taksim Square.
Warm welcome at the reception. Room was compact and uncomfortable worn out furniture. But cleaned regularly.
Restaurant offered poor range of foods and finishes mostly by 9am even though they supposed to offer foods until 10am.
Good room service and concierge.
Overall an okeyish hotel definitely not a 4 star.

The hotel is advertised as a 4-star, but I believe it can at most be considered a 2-star. The room was cramped and they added an extra bed for a third person, which couldn't be moved at all. It's quite an inconvenient hotel.

Worst stay of my entire Life
The worst hotel ever. It claims to have 4 stars, but unfortunately, it shouldn’t have any. The personnel were extremely rude, and the condition of the hotel was awful. Everywhere was full of dust. The rooms were very tiny, so much so that you couldn’t even find space for your luggage.
I am extremely ashamed of the staff's behavior. The two women receptionists were so aggressive and fought with every customer about the hotel’s condition.
There is no customer service at this hotel.

Great location and affordable prices
The whole staff were really great...Especially I would like to thank Ela and Metin for their kindness.The hotel's location is great (you can reach the hotel by 3 mins walk from taksim sq or metro line and 10 minutes walk from airport shuttle bus stop) and the prices are affordable.The breakfast is open buffet and its nice.And the breakfast hall view is amazing.The rooms are clean and comfortable.But the only things i can criticise are; First of all,though the hotel is quiet,the bar across the hotel is extremely noisy until midnight ,its such a noisy music that even the good isolation on the windows cannot prevent it and if you are sensitive on noises you cant sleep early...the size of the standart room is small and the size of the bahtroom (especially the shower cabin)is really too narrow...And it can take some time to use the elevator around breakfast time because its small,busy and there is only one.I can rate my staying as 8 out of 10 but considering the affordable price of the room that minus 2 points makes no problem at all.

Otel çok kötü ve hijyen berbat fakat kahvaltı fena değil. Otelin tek artısı konumu çok iyi. Tavsiye etmem. Pişmanlıktır.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! From the moment I arrived, the reception staff made me feel very welcome. The room was spotless, including the washroom, and I loved having a small balcony that let in fresh air. Breakfast was a highlight, offering a wide variety of delicious options to suit all tastes, all served on a rooftop with a stunning waterfront view.
The location was perfect, with all the amenities and charming local cafes within walking distance—some even open 24 hours! It truly added to the convenience and charm of the stay. I can’t wait to come back to this wonderful place again. Highly recommended
