Its just right and comes with Laughs
I loved my stay at this hotel, I booked a room for me and my girlfriend, but when we arrived the guests had not still checkd out and they were short on rooms, the very friendly receptionist after consulting with his colleague upgraded us to a very beautiful suite, truly lovely and great view, We really enjoyed our stay here and they have our thanks for that. This lead to a funny incident becuase I guess he had not marked the room full in the system and some poor guy had a panic attack when he opened the door and walked in all of a sudden, but thats just an accident and we laughed about it. The shower system was perfect, from dubai to phuket to Paris I have never seen a system this dialed in that I could arrnage the temperature of the water that easily. All and all I have been to most of the hotels in Taksim area and none of them are as wholesome and friendly and equipped as this one.
