In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Sea views from many rooms — Guests frequently mention the beautiful view of the Marmara Sea, and several room categories include sea views or partial sea views.
- Free parking and easy access — The hotel offers free underground parking, which is a rare perk in Istanbul. Its proximity to the airport and a train station simplifies arrival and departure.
- Friendly and professional staff — Multiple reviews praise the staff for being polite, caring, and attentive. One guest highlighted how the team handled shipping a parcel abroad efficiently.
- Quality breakfast buffet — The breakfast is described as 'great' and 'outstanding' in both quality and variety, with options like French toast and cheese pastries.
–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Far from the city centre — The hotel is about 10 km from Istanbul's city centre, so sightseeing requires a car, taxi, or the complimentary shuttle service.
- Breakfast not included in room rate — The buffet breakfast costs extra (around 17 euros per person), which may add to the total stay cost.
- Dining and service ratings are lower — While the hotel scores well overall, dining and price/service categories received 7 out of 10, indicating these areas are not as strong as location and cleanliness.
- Some reviews mention basic facilities — One guest noted that a superior queen room has 'basic facilities'—though they also said it's decent-sized, so expectations should be set for standard amenities rather than luxury extras.
