Mixed Feelings About this Stay

club noise soundproofing
The location is indeed very central, very convenient for exploring the area.
The nightclub noise was pretty bad. I assumed a luxury hotel would have better soundproofing (especially given the clubs in the building). The loud music at night made it difficult to sleep.

amazing city stay

friendly staff excellent service tidy room
i found the staff friendly and efficient. erkan and tacettin were very helpful when i lost money. they returned it, which i did appreciate very much. the room was kept very tidy throughout my stay and the service was excellent overall.
my mattress felt a little too soft for my liking. i think a firmer mattress would be better for me. the wine list could use more options at the bar. i wanted to try something different.
