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.

good locationfriendly staff
i liked the location of the hotel. everything is near to the hotel. the staff were kind.
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.
