This hotel is a perfect choice if you want to have amazing views combined with comfort, great place to stay in the proximity of all the main attractions and a romantic escape - all-in-one. We lived in the junior suite which offers a combination of cool design and a lot of space to catch your breath after all the walking experiences in Istanbul. Breakfast was great, views from the rooftop restaurant - picturesque and service was also above all the expectations- especially the fruit plate that we received upon arrival =) I'd also mention the cleanliness and the cleaning personnel - we've been out for the breakfast maybe for half an hour and came back to our room being totally refreshed. Would definitely come back.
