Positive Reviews
positive:
Excellent city views from the rooftop terrace
The hotel's rooftop terrace was a particular favourite amongst majority of guests. Perfectly located at the heart of Sultanahmet in Istanbul, guests have a wonderful view over the whole city and also into the sea.
positive:
Well located and close to many amenities
The hotel is close to a large number of restaurants, bars and shops. Many of the attractions in the area are within a short walking distance such as Ayasofya as well as the Blue Mosque. The beautiful site of Topkapi Palace is also well located just a couple of minutes walk from the building.
positive:
Good value for money
At the end of their stay, many guests felt that they had received good value for the money they had spent at the hotel. The services are well priced and the members of staff are remarkably well trained. The continental buffet breakfast was also a plus to many guests. Honeymooners will find the hotel most suitable.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Very little storage space
A number of guests were disappointed with the limited amount of storage space available, especially those who had come for a long stay and had packed quite a bit. This can be quite inconvenient if you are booked for the long haul.
negative:
Hotel's Wi-Fi signal lacked consistency
A considerable amount of guests thought the Wi-Fi connection provided by the hotel was not constant throughout the hotel. Some felt the inconvenience of having to keep logging in each time. One had to enter the password ever so often.
negative:
Air conditioning didn't seem to work too well.
A few guests were rather disappointed with the condition of the air conditioning units. Some systems were hard to adjust. At times the heating gave out in the middle of the night in some rooms.
