The place is well looked after. They need to do alot of work on their aircon system. I was there previously for 5 days and then also we had issues. I booked again for a one night stay and the ac didnt work. I requested them to sort it out and they said they would do it from the main panel but nothing was sorted. It resulted in a very very uncomfortable night.

I would think this is the best location in Istanbul. You walk out of the hotel and straight into Taskim Square - with hundreds of eating, shopping options. Getting to all the major sites is quick and easy. My only negative feedback of the place was, I had asked the front desk to keep a small bag for the next couple of days as we were travelling out of Istanbul and they just refused to do so. Have stayed in other Accor Properties and other brands but never such a request denied. Was quite disappointed due to this..

Great location, lots of food options around, the room was great but the thing that didn't cut out for me as a 5-stars hotel was the front of desk. They ain't very friendly, didn't even say hello when we met a couple of them in the main lobby. For the 2 days stay, the only person who greet us were the security staff, ironically. Don't think I am asking for too much, sometime service staff are being complacent.

Other than location, this hotel is not good
The service was not good, the staff needs training, there is a major confusion among the workers about the rules of the hotel etc. The club lounge has the poorest selection of any Accor hotels.
