Good hotel

Big, comfortable room. Just aircon doesn't work good, in March is not a big problem. For some people could be uncomfortable about 200 meters walk uphill to Taksim Square. Next to the hotel there is an unfinished construction, which does not disturb, but rather spoils the impression of the immediate surroundings.

Overall great, but needs some more thoughtfulness.

The overall experience was great. The rooms were spacious and very luxurious, and the hotel itself boasted many amenities (like gym, pool, comfortable waiting area, etc.). That said there are a few areas were improvement is necessary. The rooms have a small kitchen, but no utensils or cutlery - they need to provide that. There are large glass areas offering stunning views of the city, however the in-room heating is not sufficient to keep the place warm during winters - they need better insulation or more effective heating. Lastly, there is no door for the shower area, which is not appropriate for families - they need to offer a door or blinds.
