The hotel staff was excellent and accommodating. The lobby is beautiful with breathtaking views of bosphorus. The rooms were nice,had minor equipment issue that staff fixed within minutes. The in door pool and spa area are nice as well. Unfortunately we could not try the 16 roof top restaurant due to out of season closure. The highlight of the stay how ever was the buffet at Sabarosa, which was probably the best turkish food we had entire week, there is a plethora of desserts, main courses and other dishes, we loved it and tried twice. Was worth every penny. The Gunyadin steakhouse was also extremely good.
Its a little away from the hustle bustle tourist areas of Hagia sophia, more close to taksim but the views of bosphorus and peaceful environment makes it a great location to stay.
We loved it and would highly recommend.
