A highly recommended hotel that has luxuries such as its own spa for guests to enjoy. A great experience to be had here, although the outside of the hotel could do with being updated. The location at this hotel is great. It sits on a hillside with 60 acres of garden to enjoy and offers fantasic views of the whole Bosphorus as well as being close to several restaurants and shopping. The rooms at this hotel are particularly large and spacious. The bathroom in particular is of a decent size. It has been refurnished and includes all amenities. The staff at this hotel are very good at paying to the needs of their guests, and the on site security make you feel safe with the guard house, barriers and metal detector to get to the reception. The quality of the food at this hotel is good, and there is a good selection of restaurants to choose from. However, the food can be pricey and it doesn't quite meet Turkish standards. The cost of $25 per day for in-room internet service is a drawback.
The hotel is very good located in a large garden. Although being inmidst Istanbul, you can open the window, hear birds singing, breathe fresh air and have a beautiful view into the amazing garden and onto the Bosphorus itself. Most exiting is the roof bar / restaurant from where you have an even more excellent view while receiving very good food, drinks and service. Vety advantage is that you can reach the old town with Topkapi, Blue Mosc and all other attractions by tram. Just take a walk or a quick taxi to the end point of the tram and enjoy riding over the Golden Horn on its own rail not being bothered by any of that really crazy traffic.

The hotel is ideally located on a hillside with a 60 acre garden. The views are superb. You can see the sea from everywhere. The rooms are large and the bathrooms of a good size. The spa is very good. Many restaurants & shopping close to the hotel. Old city is only 20 minutes by taxi. The staff is very friendly. The bar is good but the coffee shop is not so good. Food in the hotel is not as per Turkish standards.

The hotel had a party of it's own shortly after we arrived but they chose not to warn us that we wouldn't be able to use the outdoor pool for 48 hours or that we wouldn't be able to sleep because of the considerable noise and disruption. This is not a cheap hotel and the charming staff are badly let down by the poor management. I have been staying here, on and off, for nearly twenty years and it used to be very well run.

Stayed for five nights, very attentive staff, very clean and well kept hotel. Breakfast buffet is outstanding. Have good security to drive on property must pass guard house and barrier's, metal detector when accessing lobby. The worst aspect is the cost of internet for your room, about $25 a day.ouch! Location is okay not great depending on what your doing.near river, but a good little walk and uphill coming back. Nice view of river from the lobby lounge area.

Stayed at this hotel for 3 nights during a business trip in Istanbul. From the outside the hotel looks a bit out of date. However, the room are spacious and refurnished. I found the staff friendly and helpful. There is a good choice of restaurants - but beware of high prices. Overall it was a good experience and I would recommend to all business travellers.

really the place to stay in Istanbul. perfect, professional and friendly service, great breakfast buffet, beautiful position overlooking the Bosphorus. An oasis of peace in a big garden. Big, clean rooms with all amenities. Great turndown service in the evenings with even bathrobes changed. worth repeating over and over again !

The restaurants and the quality of the foods and services were excellent but the whole hotel and the rooms are looking tired and really need a renovation. The spa was fantastic especially the turkish hamam. The location is great with the whole bosphorus view and nearness to the favorite places.
