I had a lovely stay at this hotel, which is perfectly located for exploring the fascinating Asian side of Istanbul. The rooms were spacious and offered stunning views of the Bosphorus and historic city, while the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. However, the dining options could use some improvement, as the breakfast selection was somewhat lacking. Overall, I felt it was good value for money considering the amenities and location.
