Reviews and Ratings
I felt like a VIP in the heart of the bustling city at this 'Superior King' hotel. The rooms were comfortable and elegant, though sometimes lacking in perfect cleanliness. The location allowed easy access to the vibrant areas, but it was a bit overwhelming for my preference. The service exceeded my expectations with personal recommendations and exceptional friendliness from the staff.
I absolutely loved my stay at this wonderful hotel. The rooms were beautifully decorated with high ceilings and great interior design, but some areas looked a little dated and shabby. The service, especially the polite and friendly staff with good English knowledge, was the highlight of my experience. The location was fantastic and central to all tourist sites in Istanbul, near the Galata bridge and easily accessible via metro and tram. The dining experience with traditional Turkish food was amazing, although limited dining options nearby may be a consideration. Overall, a great value for money with top-notch service and a fantastic location.
Our stay at the hotel was lovely. The rooms were beautiful with high ceilings, elegant furniture, and great facilities, making our experience very nice and comfortable. However, we found the rooms a bit small, expecting a bit more space.
My stay at the hotel was a pleasant experience overall. The beautifully designed and spacious rooms provided a comfortable stay, although they were a little small. The service was incredibly friendly and helpful, making my check-in process smooth and easy. The location was excellent, with easy access to the trams and close proximity to many tourist sites. The dining experience offered a delicious selection of both Turkish and Western breakfast foods. The facilities were well-maintained, adding to the comfort of my stay.
The hotel offers a mix of positives like an excellent view of the Bosphorus and Hagia Sophia, though the rooms are small and can feel dimly lit. The service is friendly and knowledgeable, enhancing the overall experience. The location is convenient with good transport links nearby, but a bit far from Taksim square. Dining was delightful with various Turkish specialties, while the facilities were well-maintained and inviting.
Even though the 'Superior King' rooms were a bit small, my stay was comfortable overall. The rooms had high ceilings and a nice classic decor that we got completely free of charge. The staff were very friendly, kind, and did their best to ensure we enjoyed our stay in Istanbul. The location is simply fantastic for tourists, being on a quiet road off the main hustle of Karakoy and close to the historical part of the city. The dining experience was very good with a variety of options, although a bit expensive considering what was on offer.
