I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were comfortable and had an awesome view of the Bosphorus, but the bathroom was quite cramped. The service was excellent with options for dry cleaning, laundry, and an airport shuttle. The location was very convenient, close to both historical sites and vibrant neighborhoods. However, the dining was just average, despite the fantastic view from the roof. Overall, it was decent for the price paid.
