    The terrace off the restaurant had a great vfm menu and a real buzz. Waiters are excellent - staff in general first class. Location great just off Taksim Square

    The hotel offers free internet access but the wireless facility was not working properly most of the time. I gather this is a source of continual complaint. I almost moved hotels because of it. The fitness centre had limited equipment. The hotel was quite dated.

    great location
    service confusion

    Lovely location, just a hop from everything. The room sparkled clean, and there was a fun little cleaning sign system I found out about only after asking. A quirky touch, but they could've mentioned it sooner!

    The service was a bit like a surprise party-unexpected! And changing sheets while we were there? Gourmet drama, darling!
