Sahida was very helpful with any questions I had. Overall all the staff were very friendly and nice. Hamam at the property is a big plus. The location s little inconvenient if you use the public transportation but this hotel was chosen by the dental clinic where I went for a treatment so it is convenient for commute to and from the clinic. Breakfast choices were very limited, not much to choose from and basically same every day with the exception of maybe a few dishes.
Everything was comfortable and clean. I really enjoyed the breakfast and Spa. Ilaydya was phenomenal, helping me send a birthday cake to the room and providing suggestions for restaurants and activities nearby. Thanks again!
The room was spacious, spotless and very comfortable. The breakfast buffet was great. It had a lot of quality food. The staff was super friendly and very accommodating. A very special shout out to Ilayda and zehranur. They were extra attentive and they seemed naturally warm. This is a hotel that I would most definitely recommend to friends and relatives. 5 stars all around.
Staff was very nice and friendly, room was absolutely amazing and beautiful, highly recommended and will definitely be staying again during my next trip :)
Rooms was extremely clean and fresh, very comforting hotel for a nice stay we stayed for 7 nights and I can not complain about 1 thing at all we had 3 rooms booked and it was easy checkin till the checkout we had no hassle at all the rooms was cleaned everyday room service was on point and the food and coffee shop in the lobby was amazing too. If I make a trip back to Istanbul again will definitely be rebooking here
Hotel looks great. Service and staff are excellent. Room was cleaned, but AC was leaking. Spa is the best. Breakfast offers large selection. 40 min drive from IST airport.
The room was great, and the morning staff is awesome. Some of their night staff are rude and respond to you as if they are forced to work. Simet is a great guy; he is helpful and accommodating. It would be a great loss for this place if he were to leave.
Pleasant stay with friendly staff and nice environment

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Pool was nice, breakfast was good some days and some days bad.one day there was no milk at all. No air conditioning and had no cold water from the tap. Even after maintenance, the water pressure was low. Room service was poor.
Hotel and facilities was great, outdoor pool could have been bigger and accommodating for children and women. service was not good by certain staff members however, Elida from guest relations was very accommodating and helpful
Overall my experience was 4/5
