My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the rooms were a bit underwhelming and not well-insulated from the noise due to the nearby busy roads and tram lines, being located on the top floor with a balcony was a nice touch. The service, despite a hiccup with changing the airport shuttle pick up time due to the Istanbul Marathon, was very helpful and the staff were friendly and attentive. The location was extremely convenient for exploring Istanbul, close to transportation options and major tourist spots. The dining options, while offering great Turkish food, had some limitations like an early breakfast closure. However, the hotel's facilities were decent overall.
