Hotele z: Pools w Istanbul Province, Türkiye

Wonderful location. It's tough with luggage going up and down the stairs, so a transfer is definitely needed. The view from the restaurant terrace is stunning, especially in the evening. We booked this hotel specifically for that view. The pool is small, and a swim cap is mandatory; you'll have to buy one if you don't have one. I wasn't a fan of the massage; it was given by a man, and the price was steep. The sauna and hammam were a nice bonus. The pillows and bed were very comfortable – perfect for relaxing after a day of walking around. Breakfast was excellent. Highly recommend!

The room was nice, but there's a mosque nearby, so it got a bit noisy in the mornings. The breakfast was really bad, but the hygiene and environment were decent. The main issue was that many of the staff didn't speak English, which made communication difficult.

The hotel has an incredibly convenient location: the tram stop is just a three-minute walk away, the metro is also nearby, and the ferry terminals are about ten minutes away. Everything you might need is close by, including currency exchange offices with good rates, sweet shops, restaurants, and major attractions. The hotel itself and our room were excellent. The interior was pleasant, clean, and modern, and there was enough space for two people. The room was cleaned every day, and the service and staff were great. The Wi-Fi signal was strong and reliable. Our room was on the third floor and overlooked a lovely little street. There is a mosque nearby, so the call to prayer can be heard quite loudly—something to keep in mind. A buffet breakfast is available and can be paid for at the hotel. The food was fresh and tasty, with a good selection. However, you can also find breakfast for about half the price at cafés near the hotel :) The only downside was the swimming pool. The pool itself was nice, although not very large. However, wearing a swimming cap is mandatory :( You can buy one at the hotel for €5, but swimming in one is not particularly comfortable. The hotel also has a rooftop terrace with a restaurant. The views of the city and the Bosphorus are fantastic, but unfortunately, we didn’t get a chance to try the food, as the kitchen doesn’t open until 6 p.m. The hotel has entrances from two different streets, which is very convenient. It is also split between two buildings located right next to each other, so don’t get confused :) I would definitely stay at this hotel again on my next visit :)

The biggest complaint is that as soon as you enter the hotel, there are two platforms with three sets of stairs. Carrying luggage felt like climbing a mountain. Out of four people with four pieces of luggage, the bellboy only bothered to pick up the lightest one. How perfunctory. The room was a bit small and the facilities were old, but the hygiene was acceptable. The surrounding area of the hotel is generally not great. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend staying here if you're coming to Istanbul. My extended stay wasn't synced with the platform, so I couldn't successfully extend it. I ended up turning right out of the hotel and staying at a place that I think was called ZAL hotel, which was much newer.

An amazing experience! The hotel's location is superb, just a few minutes' walk from Dolmabahçe Palace. You can walk to the seaside and it's very close to the pier, perfect for evening sightseeing cruises. The service was also excellent and comprehensive. On the hotel's L level, there are Michelin-starred restaurants, including Turkish, Italian, and Japanese options, which is very convenient. The hotel's views are also fantastic, with different room types offering various views, so you can choose according to your preference!

The staff was incredibly nice and even allowed us to check in early. The hotel features a beautiful pool with excellent service, and convenient street parking is available right in front of the property. They even offered us a complimentary breakfast! As a small suggestion for improvement, adding croissants and chocolate bread (pain au chocolat) to the breakfast selection would make it absolutely perfect. Highly recommended!

The hotel is decent, though I’d say it’s a 3-star property rather than a 5-star one. I wouldn't recommend the breakfast at all. The rooms are spacious; we booked a family suite and were told it included two large beds and two small ones, but we were disappointed to find only one large bed and two small ones. As for the reception staff, some were helpful while others were not—they lacked a friendly demeanor.

There is little possibility. For example, no closed pool. We made a massage but the massage room was old. But the staff of the hotel are very kind and very endeavoury. I can't eat their right.

Upon arrival we received a room facing the main street. We could not sleep well because of the noise of the cars, but the next day the room was replaced with a quieter one. Thanks to the understanding staff. Everything was good, but the room's bathroom is old and needs maintenance and updating.

I booked this hotel because Agatha Christie once stayed here. The room's cleanliness and decor were quite good, but the table and chairs on the balcony were covered in dust, making them unusable. The bed was large and comfortable, and the room was well soundproofed. The TV didn't seem to work. The staff varied greatly; some were very patient, while others were clearly impatient with us. I wonder if they treat white guests the same way? Originally, I hadn't booked breakfast, and one front desk staff told me it would cost 40 euros to add. When I went down to add breakfast after checking in, a different staff member told me it would be 48 euros. I had asked twice the first time, so it's unlikely I misheard. In the evening, we requested two bottles of water, and they said they would send them up, but they never did, so we had to go to the gym to get water ourselves. I bought some souvenirs at the hotel, and one front desk staff member kindly packed them for me one by one. Later, he had to leave and asked a colleague to finish the job. This colleague just dumped everything on us. I sat on a sofa in the lobby to pack the bags, and when my friend started filming me packing, he actually came over and told us not to film. At nearly 1500 a night, the room isn't cheap. Are they behind on their salaries? The service attitude was uncomfortable. I might discourage friends who want to stay here in the future and those who ask online. But this hotel probably doesn't lack guests and won't care about my review, LOL.
