This is a very nice hotel, in a nice area and the staff are very helpful! The rooms are nice size and the bathroom is very nice and modern with both separate shower and large saoking tub. The hotel is not inexpensive but I have found that most every thing in Istanbul is comparable to the cost of similar accomodations/dining... More

We stayed here in may 2013 for 5 days. While it isnt cheap, the staff are amazing especially Muje the concierge and the hotel location cant be beat. Istanbul is perpetually crowded and we did have some trouble finding taxis willing to brave the Ortakoy traffic but thats the only negative which was outweighed by the glorious views and the... More

I was travelling for a business trip to Istanbul and was booked into this hotel by my company. The location is perfect, next to other well know hotels like Kempinski and Four Seasons. If you get a room facing the bridge, you will get a feeling that you are on the water. They have lots of nice places like cafes... More

The hotel is lovely, fabulous views of Bosphorous, even saw dolphins at dinner. The service in the hotel however is extremely poor. Waited over half an hour for a drink on the terrace bar which wasn't busy! Service at dinner is the worst I have experienced in some time. Starter plates were not cleared when our main course arrived, table... More

It was one very pleasant stay. The hotel is very well located. In my opinion the best location of Istanbul. Far away of the city rush and near the nightclubs, pubs and malls. The breakfast is gorgeous and the hotel bar is fantastic with Bosphorus' view. My room wasn't inside the hotel, but in one building aside it. First it... More
