    The location of the hotel is excellent, right on the Bosphorus embankment with great views. It is also conveniently located near the boats that can take you to the Asian side. The rooms are luxurious and well-appointed, with comfortable beds and spacious bathrooms. The service provided by the staff is exceptional, with a friendly and professional attitude. The breakfast offered at the hotel is delicious and varied, with plenty of options to choose from. The facilities, such as the spa and pool, are well-maintained and provide a relaxing atmosphere.

    The staff could be more accommodating when it comes to late checkouts.

    The hotel staff were friendly and attentive. The concierge provided helpful tips for exploring the area. The housekeeping staff were trustworthy and kept my belongings safe. The hotel's location near ferry stations and shopping areas was convenient. The spa was amazing and one of the best I've seen in the world.

    Felt well taken care of, no complaints at all.
