The hotel is located in a very nice neighborhood in Istanbul, in about a 10 mins walk, you'll have all the tourism/shopping to fill a couple of days.
The hotel itself is a true 5 starts hotel. Very clean, comfortable, and with stunning views.
The food is beyond description. I've been raised eating Mediterranean food. And the hotel buffet provides a perfect selection of Mediterranean foods that simply remembering it makes my mouth water.
The staff couldn't be nicer, a testament to the hospitality and loveliness of the Turkish people. They all speak English as I don't know any Turkish so no problems in communicating whatsoever.
I will certainly visit this hotel again. Highly recommended.
