    The chap at reception!! The mix of floors of smoking / non smoking — of the 3 wings — 1 should be smoking and the 2 non smoking rooms Location for team into main tourist area is brilliant — only less than 50 meters to Tram station!!! Saves a fortune on taxis and traffic and reduces pollution

    The big downside is that the hotel has some floors where smoking rooms are available— why not make 1 block as smoking rooms and the other 2 blocks as no smoking ?? Also at reception there was a gentleman who was so sos o rude and we felt like thieves — I explain we have prepaid the rooms and why he was still asking for Payment — we stood in reception and he realised his error but did not applogises once !! Think the hotel either give him a warning or dismiss him as 2 other guests commented same in the guy Overall — Ergy and Serkan at reception and bell desk were excellent staff !! Breakfast was good and could improve with more choice of local fruits and fresh orange juice

    Noise, disturbance from outside may be very close to public road.

    Tram stoppage just opposite. They also have us travel card , we uploaded and travelled all through tram except airport transfers. In the same track all the tourist points , Indian restaurants were available. 3 night stay sufficient for Istanbul

    The wall between the rooms is thin so you could hear the sounds from next room, the texture of beds and pillows is very bad with noisy sounds when you make movement in it, the stand of TV was little oblique and not straight so uou should tilled your head to watch tv.

    Good location infront it tram station, if you like walk the center is not far away. Good cooperation staff.

    - I mentioned that I needed a quiet room, but what I got first was a room on the street and it was noisy, so I complained and I got a room on the poolside which is supposed to be quiet, but guess what, it was a connected room and I was bitterly hearing what is happening on the other room even the night activities and some times the fight between a man and his wife, which was super annoying and I did not complain because I do not want to spend my holiday changing the rooms. - I got some water and some nuts which were outside the bar and I thought they were free to be surprised I have been charged a lot for them :) so be careful.

    - The location is so great and handy on the main street close to the tram. - The room is so big and comfortable and has good facilities. - The staff are nice.

    The guests were a nightmare and very poorly controlled and managed, a bit crowded and messy, especially around the pool after midnight, we were offered to stay at the premises waiting for an airport cab, yet they opened sprinkles on us at dawn to push us out!!!! It was unacceptable since we offered to pay to stay for a few hours but they said no need! Won't affect my room review and my overall experience, P.S. Two bottles of water 330ml each were 100 tl 😅 at the bar

    Its nice location, nice facilities, nice reception, good overall experience apart from the last minutes.

    Just disappointed that we had to pay for mineral water! I've traveled so much all my life to many countries and have stayed at various hotels, yet this was the first time I had to pay for water! All other hotels provided bottled water as compliments, which got refilled/replaced on a daily basis.

    Great location, with tram station just across the street as well as easy access to bus stops, a nice big park just around the corner to run/walk in the morning. Clean room, clean bathroom, and comfortable bed.

    The wife sometimes got interrupted. the attitude of 1 or two of the staff, but the majority of the staff were cooperative and professional, and kind. and I didn't like mainly the rules of holiday inn to keep alcohol drinks in the minibar of every room, and the guest has no choice to ask to remove it from his room!!!

    The location was excellent, the room was comfortable with moderate size, the beds were very comfortable, the bathroom good, I didn't try the breakfast, the service and menu at the lobby very good.
