A very beautiful hotel. Good branded cosmetics. Beautiful bed linen. They clean it every day. It's all good. Except for the noise from the nightclub across the street..every night until 3-5 in the morning, you can dance right in the room.
Not all rooms are as gorgeous as in the photo. 108 room with a view of the courtyard is disgusting because huge turbines of the kitchen or something else are humming under the windows. This rumble is audible! Although they claim that the windows are impenetrable), they refused to change the room categorically. Turks are generally so-so to requests. Before that, I stayed in a room on a higher floor with French beams but also a view of Istiklal, it was beautiful, but the noise from the street itself will not suit everyone either. Generally. If you sleep soundly and well, then rooms on istiklalt are definitely better. Five stars for them and the chic cosmetics of a niche Istanbul brand, now I'm a fan of them) I bought everything), there is a duty free on departure and a store in the new port area, we also have in Rive GAUCHE, but there is less choice.
A hotel in the center of Istanbul, what else do you need. I walked out of it and immediately found myself in a crowd. I liked the room, and after that I bought Atelier shower gel (it was given at the hotel). My friends had a very small room, because it turned out to be smoky, and the room next door (my friend and her husband lived in it from our company) was behind an ordinary interior door with a gap of 3-4 centimeters under it. It's like you're not alone in your room) as it is, everything is normal.the main thing is not to overestimate expectations.
