“In my opinion, this hotel's strongest suit is its coveted location, nestled in the heart of Cihangir, an area celebrated for its artistic atmosphere, but some rooms might feel a bit cramped. The rooftop views are undeniably gorgeous, perfectly framing Istanbul's iconic landmarks, and the staff seems genuinely committed to providing attentive service.”
