The hotel seems to have some ups and downs. The rooms, despite initial issues, turned out to be spacious and comfortable after we were given an upgrade for an extra charge. However, the service, especially from some staff members, appeared unprofessional and rude. The location was somewhat inconvenient, being far from the city, yet very close to Eyup. The dining experience offered good variety but at extra charges.

The hotel rooms were spacious and clean, but had a cigar smoke smell inside, which was a downside. Being by the side of the street made it very noisy. The service was very supportive and helpful, and the hotel offered amenities like a free shuttle to the center, though not available in the room. The location was very communicative in Istanbul, but lacking in hospitality towards requests for extra water. The dining experience wasn't anything special despite thoughtful touches.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms, although clean and beautiful with balconies, were located in the basement and accessed by stairs, which could be a drawback as our room faced the street on the ground floor, lacking privacy. The service was exceptional, especially thanks to Izit, who was amazing, polite, and helped us with everything. However, some other staff members weren't as friendly. The location, while a bit far from the main Istanbul center, was within walking distance of Balat neighborhood. The dining options were good, and the Turkish breakfast stood out. Facilities were adequate, but there were some limitations.

The hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were good and comfortable but a bit cold at check-in and different from the pictures. On the bright side, they were perfect during the stay. The service was a mix as it was not professional overall, but there were standout moments, especially with Said and the lady at the Spa. The location was a bit in the middle of nowhere but easy to find. Unfortunately, there was a hiccup with the staff when requesting extra water for the kids. The dining experience was rather random and not so special; just ordinary. However, the facilities were decent overall.

My stay at the hotel was wonderful! The rooms were spacious, super clean, and well-appointed with great amenities; however, there was a slight concern about privacy if the window was left open. The service was amazing, especially from Alican, Zaki, Aysha, and others who were all extremely supportive and helpful. The location was lovely, close to Hagia Sophia and the bazaar, although it was a bit smaller compared to other 5-star hotels. The dining experience was good with plenty of tasty options, though some improvements could be made. Overall, a great value for the money.
