I especially appreciate the reported cleanliness and spaciousness of the rooms; a comfortable base is key for exploring a city as vibrant as Istanbul.

The location was GREAT! It was really close to many attractions. The room cleaning was also excellent. Everything felt PERFECT every day.
The air conditioning was not working. Staff kept telling me it was on. The room was not cleaned, I had to ask for it every time. The hotel charged for the bottled water in the fridge.
