my experience was mixed. The “Superior” room I booked was somewhat disappointing, as it overlooked a noisy back street, which didn’t align with my expectations of a superior view. However, the hotel’s strengths comes through in other areas. The breakfast area on the top floor offered breathtaking views of the city, complemented by an excellent spread of food. The location is central and ideal for exploring Istanbul’s iconic sites. Despite some room for improvement, the hotel’s amenities and location make it a solid choice for travelers.

It's not a proper 5 star hotel. The rooms are small, staff is not friendly enough for the price. If you ask them for something during buffet breakfast they point their finger to the location.They saw us with all our bags leaving the room and no one offerred assistance with concierge. I'm not sure where to stay given it's almost a top tourist location but I wouldn't stay again.
