The hotel has a great look. Having dinner overlooking the contemporary Ottoman-style illuminated buildings is wonderful. But the general functioning of the hotel is not up to par. It's certainly not "luxurious." The bathroom doors don't close properly. The quality of the food at dinner is not that great (breakfast is better, by the way). The pathways at night are poorly lit and difficult to navigate. You have to go through the dining area from the pool back to your room. The internet is intermittent. This hotel clearly has aspirations, but the potential has still not been met.
