The location of the hotel was unbeatable! It was within minutes walk to Taksim, amazing istiklal St, tons of restaurants and interesting places. The rooms were on the older side and could use some repair, but front desk was available 24/7 to respond to inquiries and fix things. The buffet breakfast was fantastic as well, but the best part was the hotel staff. They were all wonderful! They spoke both Turkish and English and they helped us every day with giving us tips and guidance. Umut the receptionist spoke fluent English and was highly professional, knowledgeable, helpful and hospitable. The young lady receptionist was super nice too, and Barkay the bellboy was always ready to jump in and help us. We had an amazing 1 week stay at two family suites and we made everlasting memories.
