The location is a huge part of the hotel's success. The view is fantastic. Breakfast was amazing all normal choices but also a lot of healthy options as well as local turkish varieties. The staff were courteous and prompt.

Everything about this hotel was just right--the size, the décor, the rooms, the facilities, the food, the location. Rooms were spacious and well appointed, and the meeting rooms in the hotel were full of amenities (Nespresso machine, coffee machine, excellent snacks, notebooks and pens, table and chair covers) that projected attention to detail.
