    While the hotel is pleasant, it falls short of the standards expected of a 5-star establishment. Upon arrival, we were initially assigned a family room on the lower ground floor, which was a significant disappointment. The lower ground floor is clearly not suitable for guest accommodations, I guess it was primarily used as a laundry or employee accommodation and is characterized by poor lighting, low ceilings, and an overall unpleasant ambiance."

    Great location, breakfast buffet was good, decent hotel

    Breakfast was a little chaotic.

    Great location close to some of the main attractions and a lot of restaurants. Also convenient for public transport (which was clean, efficient and great value) to get around the city. The hammam on site was a bonus and very enjoyable.

    The over priced restaurants and the SPA as expensive as in London..

    The location in Sultanahmet was perfect, with easy access to T1 tram to go everywhere. The back garden was perfect for evening drinks and the swimming pool a plus.

    Staff were chatting when we arrived and didnt acknowledge us for few minutes. Not enough sunbeds around pool. Chef rinsed his dirty hands in the pool. Towels were stained and worn out, poor quality. No hooks to hand anything up or jn bathroom for towels. Didnt replace shampoo for 2 days and ran out of loo roll, not replaced either. A/c not great. Long wait for drinks at bar. Cabs can't drop / collect you outside as street too busy/ narrow.

    Location great for historical sights, tram and grand bazaar. Hassan the bellboy was veey welcoming.

    The service is incredible. Service was probably the best I've experienced, and I'm a well seasoned traveller. Staff reached out to me before my stay to introduce themselves and arrange any requests I had. A special shoutout to customer service manager Hakan and his team, specifically Yakup, who took time aside to not just book activities but explain and answer any questions we had about the Turkey and its history. Highly recommended, all hotel staff make your stay worth it!
