The reception guys were AMAZING!!! In all my years in Travel, the check-in procedures and quality of your reception staff were EXCEPTIONAL and some of the best I've ever experienced, truly!!! Please don't offer your guests the Le Vapeur Bosphorus Dinner Cruise, they are not a good option in terms of operations and service, but we thank you for the compensation afterwards <3

Poor internet connectivity, if any. WiFi did not work. Had to harass the staff until they gave me a mobile WiFi connector. AC was absolutely terrible, took 3 hours if not longer to cool the room. The AC was disabled by the hotel to only run on a very low fan and no other control except temp set point. Again I had to harass the staff for an extra card to keep the power (Air Conditioning) running while I was out because I’m not waiting 3-4 hours for the room to cool. They made up stories like that’s how the internet is in Turkey. Or that the AC. No it is this hotel! I have stayed at cheaper hotels in Istanbul that were much nicer than this facility. I appreciate their accommodations after I was forced to be a jerk due to such ridiculous “4 Star hotel” guest accommodations. It was loud one night too, it’s a hoping neighborhood. I didn’t mind. Would not stay here again,
