it was a stay

loud music unfulfilled upgrade
The promised upgrade to a room with a bosphorus view, it never happened. instead, i was stuck with a view of some building. i also had a hard time sleeping because of the noise from nearby clubs. It was loud until late. the music was almost unbearable in the executive queen room.

Balanced stay

convenient location good breakfast helpful staff noisy street loud music missed spots
The location is quite convenient for accessing various parts of the area. The breakfast buffet included a good selection of options. Staff members were generally helpful and polite.
The room I was assigned faced a noisy street. Music from nearby establishments was audible late into the night. This made it hard to fall asleep. Housekeeping missed a few spots during cleaning.
