This is a boutique hotel near Taksim plaza a central location. As boutique it is compact but done in high-end style and part of Bonvoy.  Room view was great for me, #1101.  There are shops/restaurants around the plaza, you can uber or take the underground to get around, convenient.  This is the better side compared to south part with blue mosque, etc. I would stay here again, good for single/couples.

I've been to Istanbul several times and I like the location of this hotel. It's convenient to get around. The breakfast is simple and not very rich. The room is small, but the service is OK. Overall, it's a hotel worth trying because the hotel's architecture is very unique.

Just on the edge of Independence Street, the location is great, and there is everything to eat, drink and play downstairs. The entrance is the M2 subway station, and Tünel can sit directly next to the seaside bridge. It is super convenient to take a ferry to the Bosphorus Strait or transfer to the tram to cross the sea to the old town. Although parking is not possible, it is not a problem for tourists. After all, the old town mainly depends on legs and public transportation. The room is large, beautifully decorated and advanced, and the family room also provides an extra bed. The bed is very comfortable and meets Marriott's consistent quality. The breakfast is exquisite and delicious, and it is easy to start a day. There is also a terrace on the top floor, you can see some old European areas. Very cost-effective and highly recommended.

Awesome hotel. Located on Montaigne Avenue, very convenient for shopping.

Environment: The hotel is black and white overall. It will also be equipped with some creative elements, which is very suitable for young people.


Hygienic: very clean. The cup has a faint smell of washing powder that can only be smelled when I was a child.


Service: Whether it is the front desk or the doorman or even the cleaning, the service attitude is very good, always smiling, and when you need help, you are as satisfied as possible, making people feel the warmth of returning home.

High cost performance, recommend it to everyone!

The real scene is much smaller than the picture, and the windows of our room can't be opened. The whole room is small and not ventilated, and there is a faint smell. But the windows are quite good-looking and the staff's service attitude is not bad. Another point is that at 7 or 8 in the morning, fortunately, we all got up and washed, and someone directly swiped the card and came in and said a word of sorry and left. I don't know if it was cleaned. The top floor environment is very good, you can drink and eat, the place is not very big, but it is still crowded at night.

Hotel location is good, shopping is very convenient. On the street, it was a bit noisy at night. The room decoration design is good. excellent service. Breakfast is average, not too fresh.

This was our过渡 hotel for the first night in Penang, and they offer 24-hour check-in. We arrived past midnight, but the Malay guy at the front desk was still very attentive. The room wasn't big but felt new with a modern design. Our room type faced the back street, so it was quiet, but it looked directly onto the building opposite, offering no view at all. If a view is important to you, I recommend booking a different room type. The hotel is very close to Toh Soon Cafe and the Peranakan Museum, both within a five-minute walk. The surrounding area is pretty quiet with not many shops.

Strictly speaking, it's just a villa converted into a hotel. Although it boasts over 100 years of history, century-old buildings are common throughout the city. The hotel's location is a bit out of the way. Compared to other hotels I've recently stayed at, like Dongjia and George Hotel, this one is flanked by residential buildings on both sides, and there are plans to build more behind it. It feels like it's being surrounded by tall buildings, which really takes away from the experience.

Furthermore, the windows aren't very soundproof, and it's really close to the road, making it quite noisy during the day. It truly bears no resemblance to a manor. There were also a lot of mosquitoes; we didn't even open the windows, yet somehow had four or five mosquitoes in the room overnight. The room decor is decent, but honestly, many hotels in China can achieve this level of design. Also, this hotel doesn't have a gym. During check-in, the manager (I couldn't tell if they were Indian or Malaysian) had a very strong accent, and I really struggled to understand every word they said. The bar also offered two complimentary drinks in the evening, but they were very simple and tasted mediocre. If you're going to offer free drinks, do it properly, or don't offer them at all.

The room's mini-bar was okay, and the complimentary snacks made the kids happy. The toiletries were Bvlgari. Breakfast was served in the hotel's ground-floor restaurant, which supposedly has been recognized by Michelin for two consecutive years. However, the breakfast was quite perfunctory. The apples and melon served were completely unsweetened and very stale; they clearly looked pre-cut, frozen for a long time, discolored, and had a terrible texture. When I ordered English breakfast tea, I wasn't asked if I wanted milk. The pepper in the pepper shaker wouldn't come out because the grains were too large. A salmon bagel was decent. Overall, the breakfast portions were average, and the taste was just so-so. After checking out, we immediately went to another restaurant to eat again.

All in all, this hotel's price was not cheap compared to other hotels on this trip, but the overall experience was just average. Of course, there were some positives, such as every staff member being very enthusiastic. The bed and pillows were incredibly comfortable, which I really appreciate.
