The realistic view

Beyond the first impression

Verified information only

A 203-room, 7-meeting-room city hotel on Piyalepasa Boulevard in Kasimpasa, 3 km from Taksim, opened in 2015. The hourly free Taksim shuttle does the heavy lifting on location; breakfast is usually excluded and priced high.

What it does well

  • Meeting-driven business trips, 3-4 km from Halic and Lutfi Kirdar congress centres
  • Guests with a generous breakfast budget or Hilton Honors breakfast benefits
  • Couples wanting an indoor pool, hammam and sauna away from Taksim's noise

What to watch for

  • Bathroom odour in some rooms; check on arrival.
  • Room-only rates add up quickly once breakfast is paid; keep card headroom for the deposit.
  • Explorers on foot: Anyone planning to walk to the sights (Taksim is 30 min uphill)
