“While the location is central, near Taksim Square, and promises convenient access to Istanbul's cultural and shopping districts, I find the overall upkeep questionable. The presence of resident cats in the lobby could appeal to some, but the property needs improvements. Spa and wellness options are available, yet the experience appears inconsistent.”
