    – Perfect location – right next to Istanbul’s main attractions (just a few minutes’ walk), with excellent restaurants and shops located right below the hotel.
    – Great room amenities – very comfortable beds, a workspace, power outlets, a safe, and a fridge. The rooms were also clean, well-maintained, and modern.
    – Well-equipped hotel ground floor – includes a shop, a spot for coffee or business meetings, access to a spa, a swimming pool, a garden area, and a bar. Everything you might need for any occasion.

    – A truly beautiful hotel – both inside and out. It’s a genuine 5-star experience, not an exaggerated rating.
