The stay
Editor's notes
Breakfast & dining
Breakfast is an open buffet; guest reviews generally find the variety positive. The rooftop restaurant with Istanbul views serves Turkish and European cuisine, and the à la carte restaurant serves Russian and Turkish cuisine; there are also 3 bars and a café.
Noise & sound insulation
Sound insulation is one of the hotel's most criticized aspects: traffic in avenue-facing rooms, sounds from neighboring rooms and upper floors, and loud music in the common areas are frequently mentioned in reviews. Light sleepers should request an inner-facing room.
Extra fees & things to know
Massage, hammam scrub-foam and hairdresser services are paid. Airport transfer is offered for a fee. Minibar is extra. Some reviews report that cash payment was requested for services such as laundry; clarify payment terms in advance.
