Luxurious reasonably clean property, it has attentive and well-trained staff from check-in to check-out. The breakfast is served in the restaurant! The setting is perfect and exceptionally nice, very close to luxurious boutiques, cinemas, Raffles Istanbul, and the business area of the city. There is a variety of restaurants to eat, like Balik Evi that is only 10 minutes' walk away.
