I've been traveling extensively for the past 15 years all around the world on business (roughly 35-45 nights per year) so this review is based on that experience. I've also stayed in other hotels in Istanbul and I would say this hotel is average in relation to cost. On the plus side: Bed was comfortable with plenty of pillows to choose from, room was good-sized, bathroom was clean and well stocked, no noise from outside and close to plenty of restaurants for a quick meal after work. On the downside was the Wi-Fi (free of charge but not very good coverage, had to go down to lobby to get good signal) and that breakfast was not included (charged €25 extra, which, considering you are in Turkey, is VERY expensive). Taxi to Airport takes around 35-45 minutes, cost around 60-80 Turkish Lira. The hotel offers great views of the Bosphorus - too bad that I didn't get a chance to enjoy this as my room was facing a brick wall....
