    The staff was friendly - I can't wait to go back. The total stay was wonderful at the seminal the final night. The location in a particularly good area was great and there were supermarkets and a convenience shop nearby. Plus, I could reach a cobblestone street within a close distance from the hotel. I ate at a pleasant restaurant for breakfast.

    All of the staff members were helpful and friendly. The family room I was given was complete with a good bathroom and ice, as example. The breakfast was savoury, such variety, with pastry and Turkey, as example...

    staff responsiveness

    The location near Taksim Square is unbeatable! 😍 the breakfast options were lacking, and I couldn't get a remote for the TV. Just a few small things that could really improve the experience overall.

    diverse breakfast
    outdated furniture

    The hotel has a diverse Turkish breakfast that caters to various tastes.

    I encountered some frustrating issues. The bathroom shower was almost unusable, and the cleanliness standards left much to be desired.
