The hotel is set in the best possible location close to Zorlu center, a shopping mall with a cinema, Isokyo restaurant and the biggest Malls. Besides, you can walk to Zorlu Center.

The deluxe king room was new-fashioned with good lighting, the bed was comfy. There were a mini-fridge-bar, an air conditioning, and an individual safe in the room. The hotel's location was excellent, just next door to which allows for convenient travel to business center son both sides of the Bosporus and which is one of the best shopping malls in Istanbul.

Exceptionally clean place & attentive and well-trained staff that responds very well to every request. Elegant apartment with a large balcony, a fantastic view plus the terasse all around. Fabulous food at breakfast served in the restaurant. Easy to get to, best possible location very close to Zorlu shopping center and the most modern and serviced commercial areas in the entire city. A nicely decorated and top-class hotel, my first choice in Istanbul.
