The location , size of the hotel,sweming pool , massage,food, ayoib oneof the nice staff of the hot. Nice view from room to old city. the place where it is. The view and location from the hotel. The amazing view from my room.nothing special about it. Location seems to be prime but Traffic in the area is bad. so you will waste so much of your time on the road from and to the hotel. Good location in Istanbul. Excellent location, simply you minimize your taxi use. Good choice for families with children.I was totaly disipointed. Excellent location close to main bus stations and metro, although themetro is fairly limited.We asked for a double bed, but they politely told us that there was no such room available. Nevertheless, we found the two single beds very comfortable and clean. The restaurant on the roof, has a fantastic Bosphorous view and the staff was very polite and profesional. However, the food was average and the prices significally high in comparison to the quality of the dishes.The Air conditioning. The ac was very hot. the noice. When snowing, it was not possible to see some TV channels.Because of the renovation works there may be some construction noise from 11:00 up to evening time. If you will not be in the room during these ours, don't bother and stay at this hotel!. extremely expensive hotel dining. food at the ground floor restaurant. Roof should be open for viewers. The rooms were not ready at our arrival at 3 pm and we had to wait for almost 1 hour to have the rooms.i request to modify their English language for communications with guests, specially direct contact staff with the guests.city view rooms extremely noisy, lunch/evening buffet at restaurant below standard for a 5star hotel in Istanbul. Air-condationing was not stable , more room cleaning required. I think that is necessity to refresh rooms,and rooms are to small for 5 stars hotel,we booked non smoking room ,bat we did not recived,we were in this hotel 32 years ago,it was more luxury. its not very clean. Better behaviour from the staff.The staff who spoke poor english and was obviously overwhelmed by thenumber of guests.Rooms are small, not modernaized to the 5 star hotel standards. i would rate it as 4 star Maximum. The poor quality of the food at the panoramic restaurant, and the smellof cigarets during breakfast. Rooms are small and old. The furniture is definitely below slandered and suits only 3 star hotels. My package included breakfast. Even though the food selection was good, it lacked fruits verities, especially when considering Turkey being an agricultural country.room and bathroom were old not clean old carpet aand dirty. Yes, the Hotel cannot be a 5 Starts Hotel, im referring back to the Rooom set up itself, (the carper, the bed, the TV, the size fo teh room, the Bathroom...) all were way below expectation.I was given a terrible room to begin with which had white sheets whichhad turned to grey and room stunk of mildew and the carpet was dirty - Icomplained and was then upgraded to another room. I also had problemswith my booking in terms of the duration. I booked for 2 nights howeverreception insisted it was made for 1 night only. I had to show them theletsbookhotel.com confirmation.
