“Friendly and helpful staff, accessible, great complimentary breakfast”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 January 2010

This hotel was booked for me by a friend who lived in Istanbul, so I was not able to do "comparative shopping." Nevertheless, we were satisfied first of all by the friendliness of the staff and all the help they extended to my family to make our stay very pleasant. The staff speak good English and always have a smile. The hotel was also very conveniently located, providing a quick tram ride to the tourist and shopping spots of Istanbul as well as reasonable taxi fare to the airport and bus station. Every morning, we enjoyed the wide variety in their complimentary buffet breakfast. We were given a discount on our last two days of stay, which was nice.

“Terrible Bulvar”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 April 2008
1
person found this review helpful

The rooms all smell terribly of smoke, this is probably standard in Turkey but it seemed terrible in our upgraded room in this supposedly 4 star hotel. Every morning we woke up with sore throats that stayed with us for days afterwards.

Staff inflexible and not very good with Western tourists.

Otherwise a good location.

Dear Johnny4000,
First of all I want to send my apologizes on behalf of the establishment about this problem you faced in 2008. That may be a possible situation then, there wasn't seperated smoking and non-smoking rooms. But now we have 14 Non-smoking rooms and the hotel is non-smoking throughout public spaces.
About other rating isues, we are working as hard as we can to give the best of 4 star hotel services. Rooms are house-keeped everyday and I am satisfied and relieved with my business that I haven't faced any compliments arelating to cleanliness and comfort of the rooms since I've began working here.
We will be more happy with hosting you a free stay on your next visit, I believe your negative
opinion of the past stay will disappear and you will leave more contented.
Thanks

“Absolutely Appalling”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2008

This is the most appalling 4 star hotel I have stayed in - service is non existent, the rooms and all common areas reek of smoke and the food is barely edible....expect to be eating stale cakes, bread and the previous nights soup for breakfast.

  • Liked — a whiskey in the bar - although it was over priced for Turkey
  • Disliked — service, smoke, food

About other rating isues, I don't know what you personally expect from a breakfast, but we have a large breakfast buffet with a large variety of cheeses, salamis,olives, jams, eggs, pastries, drinks,dired fruits and more things that is supposed to be in a breakfast menu..

We will be more happy with hosting you a free stay on your next visit, I believe your negative
opinion of the past stay will disappear and you will leave more pleased.
Thank you,best wishes.
