The stay

Editor's notes

Breakfast & dining

The buffet breakfast is repeatedly called the best meal of the day for choice and quantity. Mercure Restaurant serves Turkish and international food; there is a lounge bar. No cots or extra beds are provided, so families should check room types in advance.

Noise & sound insulation

Traffic on Kısıklı Avenue is audible on the street side. Bathroom ventilation reportedly carries cigarette smell between rooms, and windows do not open.

Extra fees & things to know

Massages and spa treatments are charged; pool, hammam and gym are included. Extra-bed fees may apply and a deposit for incidentals can be requested at check-in.
