I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were a bit basic but equipped with a shower and terrace, and being on the top floors offered a nice view. The service was average, and the location was convenient for exploring tourist attractions. The dining options were limited but satisfactory. The facilities were decent for the price.

The hotel offers great views from the terrace and top floors, but showers could be improved. The balcony in some rooms is a nice touch. However, the price for these rooms may not suit all budgets.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms on the top floors with a terrace were just what I needed for a cozy vacation, though a balcony would have been a nice addition. The hotel provided a good value for the money with its prime location near Istanbul's main places. However, the dining options, particularly for soba, could be expanded to enhance guests' experience.

My stay at the hotel was simply delightful. The location was superb, close to the ocean and surrounded by lovely restaurants. The rooms were cozy and pristine, and the staff was incredibly welcoming. On the downside, the dining options were somewhat lacking. The hotel's facilities, especially the pool area, were well-kept and enjoyable. The pricing was fair, but the additional cost for Wi-Fi was a drawback.
