i appreciated the modern design of the facility. its convenient location near the bayrampasa amenities! the support staff was helpful and kind. they assisted with changes i needed. my room was very clean, cool, and spacious. i would definitely recommend this hotel for a nice stay!
I asked the reception for help finding a nearby restaurant or ordering food. they gave me only one flyer, stating the restaurant would offer rides to and from the hotel. It was like a bit of a limitation.

My stay included such beautiful moments. sona and yağız at reception were kind. Their professionalism made everything seamless. the entire staff seemed genuinely happy to help, they really added to the magic of the visit. i felt so cared for and will always remember my time there.
I noticed the hotel lacked iron and tissues directly in the room. I had to request these. it's a minor inconvenience, but having these readily available would enhance the experience. otherwise, everything else was so lovely i almost forgot about the small issue.

Okay stay. Some issues arose

system malfunctionleaking machine
The hotel didn't quite meet expectations. Upon returning one afternoon, I discovered my electronic key card didn't work. I went to the front desk. It took them a while to figure out the system malfunctioned. the in-room coffee machine was leaking. It made a mess on the desk. I felt inconvenienced by these problems.

The level of cleanliness was really good everywhere. Emir, the receptionist, were very good. His kindness and attention to detail were nice..
