Newly refurbished rooms were far better than the older rooms. The older rooms were really tired and desperately needed an update. The bar on the 12th floor was lovely, great views, nice drinks and not that expensive for the setting. Breakfast was okay, lots of choice but was the same every day. Make sure to stay in a refurbished room! The location is fine, not as central as we would have liked to have been but only a 10 minute walk. There is a very nice newly opened meze (Turkis/ European) restaurant just 2 minutes walk from the hotel.
