This hotel was the best choice we made for this trip. The hotel is brand new looking, very clean, modern and welcoming. My husband and I highly recommend it. We stayed here because my husband had his visa appt. at the American Embassy, which is about 25 mins walk from the hotel uphill. You get a lot of luxury amenities that you would get at a much more expensive hotel. Spa is wonderful with a steam room, hamam, sauna and whirlpool jacuzzi, all free to use. The breakfast is the morning is great, buffet style with a lot of options, Turkish breakfast style. You also have access to free Wifi, which works all over the hotel. The only thing that I can comment negatively on is the temperature of the room. It was very hot and dry in the room but, you can call the front desk to ask them how to turn off the heater. Otherwise, you can just open your balcony door to let cool air come in. We had a really great experience here. Lots of nice restaurants and stores around the neighborhood.
