Pleasant hotel, breakfast is very good, nice safe area. But more like a 3 -4 star hotel experience in terms of toiletries, no toothpaste... No welcome kit, certainly a bit underwhelming. I asked for a quiet room but kept getting awaken by noise from the hallway.

Really helpful staff / during our stay but also before, when we were looking to arrange airport transfers. Pool and spa area is delightful, as is the reception area and bar. Our room was a good size and had everything we could need. Loved the shower and the shampoo/shower gel/soap was also lovely. Well located for public transport (bus and metro) and also easy to get uber taxis. Overall we had a wonderful stay and I highly recommend this hotel.

Professional staff, Great food & coffee. The view from the 212 restaurant is special, we celebrated a milestone birthday there. If staying here, I recommend requesting a river view room above the 3rd floor. The rooms and room service are very good as well. The beds are very soft so if you prefer firm you will need to consider this. There is not much in the way of cafes and facilities in the immediate area but there is plenty within a short cab ride.

We stayed at the Hotel May 2025, there were construction in front of the hotel! They are building a high rise. Every morning at 7 am they start with heaving machinery. When we asked the manager about why they didn’t mention that on their website of booking! He said it is not everyday but that is not true it is full heavy work. The worst experience unfortunately. The manger name was Orkun Ozvural He gave us a pass for some free drinks and snacks, which we thought that was not the right way to solve this problem. Then he offered to change our room to a suite the last day of our stay .. we declined because we were going to wake up at 6am so no reason to change a room when we will wake up before the construction begins. We were really looking forward to stay at this hotel (we stayed in it 11 years ago ). It was a very bad experience and will never come back again!!
