I will point out key areas: 1. booking- too much pain: My husband initially made a online booking, against his company discounts, but he did not get it and he called them , they said you have to cancel it and we will book it right away with discounted rates. while on call we cancelled the booking and as soon as we cancelled, they said no more rooms available book a room for higher tariff, we felt cheated and indeed we were, but when we circulated the email about this to their manager, we got booking confirmed in same room.... :) no more explanation required here :P 2. room service: poor, we had to call them for water, tea , toiletries, laundry several times , else they wont show up. But cleanliness is just perfect! 3. facilities: good 4. room size: decent 5. Food: excellent- Buffet breakfast was awesome, 100's of variety of high quality food for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians 6. Spa/Haman: one free conman Hamam for men/women and that too very small room, but gym was good and so was the trainer there. 7. Location : The best reason to stay here. Metro(subway), bus station, tram, are just down the hotel, the famous Istiklal street is next to hotel... all travel agents, travel and tours are just 50 meters away... Taxi and 24 * 7 food options are available nearby. Its at the heart of city! you name it and get it kind of location :) Basic difference in rooms are : view, if you want a real city then go for western side rooms and for sea view , east. Sea facing rooms are bit higher in price . I preferred Taksim square view , so I choose the western facing room.

My room had a beautiful little balcony on the 5th floor overlooking a quiet street but still within view of all the action on the square, seriously charming. After traveling through the Middle East for weeks, staying at much more expensive hotels this was a very relaxing low pressure environment to spread out. It's still very classy and clean and full of wealthy people but without the pressure to maintain appearances like at a Fairmont or Ritz Carlton, casual luxury. I booked 1 night and ended up staying 4.
