“Excellent Hotel, Good location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

This hotel is in a good location if a bit of a ride from the airport (Eu45 in taxi) but with good public transport and shops and cafes nearby. It is a stylish, modern (i think the trendy term is Contemporary) buildign but does not suffer from the stainless steel and wood disease of many such places. Business or frequent travellers may find the constant offers of help a little over-bearing but infrequent or leisure travellers will find it flattering. The rooms are comfortable and efficient and rarely these days the connection of a laptop does not require major furniture moving! Not sure if the price is reasonable or not because I was on a company rate.
There is a friendly bar on the mezzanine floor and a coffee shop in the lobby. The top floor restaurant is no better but certainly no worse than the average hotel service but the promised 'breathtaking views' over the city are a bit over hyped - unless roofs and satellite dishes are your thing!!

Very friendly staff.

“Good business hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012

Good central business hotel near the convention centre and close to Taksim Square.
Friendly and helpful service with a smile. Bottled water provided daily. Would recommend.

Room Tip: Go for high room for views of the city

“Great all in one business hotel”

Very good centrally located business hotel. Staff were attentive and provided a very good level of service. Plenty of shops and eateries within easy walking distance. Rooms were a little stuffy and the AC is only operated during summer months, the windows can be opened though.

Room Tip: 8th floor should be avoided due to being directly under the restaraunt and function centre which can...

“All around great hotel!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012

people found this review helpful

While not suited to families I would certainly recommend this hotel to couples old and young, solo travellers, business travellers and friends as a calm, safe oasis from the wonderful craziness that is Istanbul. Great location, just 3 minutes walk from Taksim Square. You then have the choice of either walking downhill down the main shopping street (which pretty much takes you anywhere north of the Galata Bridge that you want to go...Or take a short funicular ride down the hill (located in Taksim Square) and jump onto the great tram system to hit all the tourist spots on the other side of the bridge. Also 2 minutes walk from the Havas airport shuttle bus stop which was very convenient. Feels very safe even walking home very late at night. There are a few restaurants close by but beware the tourist traps – venture a little further instead (refer to Lonely Planet – we tried a few great places). Also check the kebab places where Sıraselviler Caddesi meets Taksim Square – great for quick bite. As for the hotel itself, our room was immaculately clean (even the bathroom) and the staff were fantastic. We stayed in a Deluxe (which is the standard) room. The room was a great size, enough for a huge (we think it was super king) bed, a single seater arm chair with foot rest and desk with chair along the window and STILL room to spare. TV, minibar and tea/coffee making facilities all provided. We had a small gift waiting for us on arrival along with two bottles of water and two packets of nuts which we received again each day we stayed. Free wi-fi was also provided and was quick enough and password provided in room. Breakfast was also great – much variety and the almost uninterrupted views over Istanbul were great. Hotel also has a lovely bar in the lobby for beer, wine and complementary snacks. Also worth checking out the pool, sauna and steam room downstairs. Quiet, calm and lovely. You will need to pay a nominal fee (I think it was 6 EURO) for a swimming cap if you don’t have one of your own with you but it’s a proper reusable cap so you keep it to use again if you wish to swim. Didn’t have time to try the treatments but the rooms looked lovely and also immaculately clean. Highly recommend the hotel.

Room Tip: Request high floor away from elevators. We were on 7th floor so away from traffic - not sure if woul...
